The Crystal River Inn is built around a handful of concepts: beautiful, inviting design; hand-selected amenities crafted by local businesses; a spirit of community; and invisible service.

Inside our 1880s Victorians — you’ll find a graceful, welcoming boutique hotel in which modern comforts mesh seamlessly with the historic character that makes the place so special.

As new owners in one of our goals is to create a personalized experience that extends beyond the walls of our hotel. We have partnered with a couple local business owners to showcase the best of the region and are seeking others. If you own a local business or know a local entrepreneur who may be interested in partnering with us, please let us know by sending us a note here. We hope to offer our guests carefully curated local goods, yummy treats, refreshing beverages, and locally roasted coffee sourced from nearby artisans and producers in San Marcos and the surrounding Hill Country.

Whether you're a connoisseur of fine food and beverage, an adventure seeker, or someone looking to unwind and relax, our team is dedicated to tailoring your stay to meet your individual preferences. From customized room amenities to personalized activity recommendations, we aim to make you a returning guest! During your stay, be sure to wander the town square only two blocks from our boutique hotel. We have a list of the hidden gems, local attractions, and the best spots to indulge in the culture and charm of our community here.

And finally: We’re all about “invisible” service for our guests, which includes hand-selected amenities and personalized perks befitting a boutique hotel — plus the added bonus of absolute privacy. During a Crystal River Inn stay, the space belongs entirely to the guests, with our staff on call 24 hours a day, ready to serve.
We also offer:

• Daily turn service in guest rooms upon request
