We have a block of rooms reserved at the Faust Hotel, which is located one block (walking distance) from the reception site. Please ask for the Abbing/Thomas block for the reduced rate (valid through September 8th only).

Microbrewery at the Faust Hotel.

Faust Hotel - Built in 1929, rooms are continually being updated. A recent visit found rooms to be small, clean and simply furnished with antiques. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were updated. The bar and lobby are lovely, and the bar features a microbrewery and is open until midnight on Friday night and 1am on Saturday night. Complimentary continental breakfast is served in the lobby. Rates range from $64 to $84 per night. Ask for the Abbing/Thomas block, which has been extended through Friday, September 8th. After Friday regular rates will apply. Phone: 830.625.7791.

Various condominiums - Located approximately four to six blocks from the reception site. The Inverness Condominium complex is closest, and appear to be very nice and modern. Their off-season rate is $130/night, and all units are two-bedroom. Some have one bath, some have two, and they all have kitchens and washer/dryers, so it’s a pretty good deal if you have a group staying together. I think they all have balconies, and some overlook the Comal River. Units are individually owned, so you book through the website below, or call their toll-free number: 1-800-990-4386. This company also rents various homes in the area. If it says it’s on the Comal River or near Schlitterbahn, it’s near the reception site. If it says it’s on or near the Guadalupe River, it’s about a ten to fifteen minute drive from the reception site.

Prince Solms Inn - Located approximately four blocks from the reception site, and about one to two blocks from the main square downtown. Rooms are a bit more pricey, but it has a good reputation. They have a piano bar and outdoor courtyard. Rates range from $125 to $175. Phone 830.625.9169.

Holiday Inn - Expect prices of approx. $80 - $99/night. Phone: 830.625.8017. Located approx. 2 miles from the reception site on IH35, Exit 189 on the west side of the freeway. They have a restaurant and lounge, and it has a good reputation. Fully renovated in 2002.

Hampton Inn - Expect prices of approx. $99 – 109/night. Ask for the “Hit the Road” rate – should be $99. Phone: 830.608.0123. Located approx. 2 miles from the reception site on IH35, Exit 189 on the west side of the freeway. Clean, comfortable rooms with coffee maker, iron and ironing board, and complimentary in-room movie channel and high speed internet access. Complimentary breakfast is offered in the lobby.

Comal Inn - This is where we stayed during the 2004 Wurstfest. (Have you noticed the picture of Helena in the Chicken Hat? That was taken on the front porch of the Comal Inn.) We loved it so much we decided to book the entire place and fit as many of our immediate family in as possible. So it's already full for the wedding, but if you ever want to stay in New Braunfels without the fuss of a Bed & Breakfast, but somewhere other than a hotel, check this place out.
