6 Top Places To Stay in Round Top
1. The Frenchie Boutique Hotel
The stylish Frenchie Boutique Hotel is such a precious place to stay. I stayed in the quaint cabin near the pool. It had a comfy bed, the coolest shower, couch, lots of lighting, bamboo shades, a large bathroom, and a back door to the pool. I love my 2-night stay!!
2. Hotel Lulu
Hotel Lulu is one of Round Top’s most stylish and boutique stays—a beautifully restored historic property in the heart of town, blending European charm, Texas character, and a touch of whimsical design. It’s intimate, art‑driven, and deeply tied to Round Top’s antiques and culinary scene.

Ellis Motel
Located in Henkel Square, Ellis Motel serves as a lounge (not a motel at all). But a cool place to hang out after shopping. It opens at noon through the middle of October. The emporium inside has art and furniture that is for sale. It’s part of what makes Henkel Square so quaint.
Where to Shop Beyond the Fair in Round Top
Round Top’s appeal stretches well beyond the antiques fields, with a blossoming food and shopping scene that includes standouts like Mandito’s, Lulu’s, Prost, and Boon & Co., plus an eclectic mix of boutiques, galleries, and live‑music spots.
Lulu’s Round Top
Fancy, uh? Don’t worry if you’re not – I wore my jeans and felt very comfortable. Lulu’s Round Top is located inside Hotel Lulu.
When I arrived, I was the first one there, but before long, the table on the far left was full, and the table on the far right was booked for a family. It got busy real quick!
Lulu’s serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner all week long. Dinners are elevated and perfect with your favorite bottle of vino.
Round Top is a destination where history, style, and hospitality come together in a distinctly Texas way. If you haven’t been, put this adorable small town on your to-visit list. There are plenty of other places to stay in Round Top, but these were at the top of our list.
