Texans who’ve long savored the luxuries of Auberge Resorts Collection properties (think Napa’s Auberge du Soleil and Hawaii’s Mauna Lani) will soon have an Auberge of their own to dive into the sumptuousness that has earned Auberge the highest of plaudits both nationally and internationally. The Commodore Perry Estate is poised to open in Austin in the spring.
The California-based, Houston-owned hospitality group has been quietly working on transforming the 10-acre estate in Austin’s historic Hancock neighborhood for two years, reimagining the 10,800 square foot mansion that holds National Register of Historic Places distinction. Auberge, owned by The Friedkin Group, is billing the new jewel in its resort crown as its first urban retreat.
