Castroville is a small, historic town with French and German roots, showcasing old sites, Alsatian eateries, and scenic trees. Overlooking this town is the Hillside Boutique Hotel, set on 13 acres and offering 38 rooms. This hotel gives guests a relaxing space with modern comforts reminiscent of Texas's top retreats.

 

The hotel has custom decor and furniture with distinctive features like shiplap and crown molding. The common areas have glass walls and doors inspired by 1880-1920 industrial warehouses. These designs, made in Markwardt’s warehouse, provide clear views of the Medina River Valley, especially from the meeting room's expansive windows.
