Ten Independent Hotels in Texas Team Up with Stash

Stash Hotel Rewards welcomed ten new Texas partner hotels — The Blossom Hotel, Hotel Gibbs, Kimber Modern, FlopHouze, Hoffman Haus, Meyer Inn on Cyprus Creek, Camp Comfort, The Ruby Hotel & Bar, 7A Ranch and Wimberley Inn. 

Unlike chain hotel loyalty programs that tout the uniformity of their properties, Stash Rewards celebrates the diversity of the 150 hotels in its network. Stash seeks out truly independent hotels with extraordinary reputations. For example, Kimber Modern Hotel is the top-ranked inn in Austin on TripAdvisor.  Just one in ten hotels that applies to the program is accepted. The new group of Texas hotels are perfect examples of Stash’s unique network of distinctive independent hotels:

The Blossom Hotel, a brand new, modern, boutique hotel next to Houston Medical Center, is both stunning and serene. Unexpected elements include a rooftop pool, and a posh karaoke bar.  

Hotel Gibbs is a renovated historic landmark. The building was built in 1909 by Colonel Gibbs as San Antonio’s first high-rise. Today, it welcomes guests with timeless hospitality.

Tucked into Austin’s popular South Congress neighborhood, The Kimber Modern is an architectural boutique with 7 spacious guest rooms built around a 100-year-old live-oak tree.

At FlopHouze in Round Top, guests stay in innovative, eco-friendly, and meticulously designed shipping containers. Take in the pastoral views through oversized windows, the patio or fire pit.

The enchanting Hoffman Haus in Fredericksburg is both a culinary treat and a luxury retreat. This twelve-room 1840s Texas-German guesthouse features worldly cuisine and local amenities.

Settle in for a slower pace at Camp Comfort, in Comfort, TX. Stay in an Airstream, a cabin, or a former bowling alley. The Alley guest rooms were once part of a 9-pin alley.

Nearby, the Meyer Inn at Cypress Creek is a romantic bed and breakfast in Hill Country. With historic roots dating back to the 1850s, this spot has always been a haven for weary travelers. 

The Ruby Hotel & Bar in Round Rock is a warm, rich boutique with an old-school-cool vibe.   The Ruby opened in 2019, but guests get the sense it has always belonged there.

Along the Blanco River in Wimberley, lies a family-friendly vacation destination,  7A Ranch. Guests enjoy the spacious cabins, on-site Pioneer Town, and the endless adventures.

Nearby, a 1960’s hotel, The Wimberley Inn received a thoroughly modern makeover, while embracing the decadently slow pace of a bygone era.

“Joining Stash was an easy decision for us,” said Cole Di Carlo, Director of Sales and Marketing at Alexa Management, the hotel management company for The Ruby Hotel & Bar, 7a Ranch, and The Wimberley Inn.  “It’s been a tough year for our industry, but as travel comes back, we know partnering with Stash will help us attract new guests and reward our loyal travelers.”

“This year, we’ve added more partner hotels in Texas than any other state,” said Jeff Low, Founder and CEO of Stash. “Texan hoteliers appreciate our style of partnership. We simply make it easier for them to do what they do best -- provide memorable guest experiences.”
