Featured Experiences
Artfully Curated spacesOur eight uniquely appointed suites create an unforgettable backdrop for weekend getaways, intimate celebrations, and creative gatherings.
Guests are encouraged to linger in our art-filled interiors, take pleasure in our lush courtyard with outdoor pool, or explore the vibrant downtown district just steps from our front porch.
Art & CultureExperience the artistic soul of Sophie's Gasthaus through our rotating exhibitions and cultural events.
In partnership with West Chelsea Contemporary in Austin, we bring art to New Braunfels in an intimate, approachable setting.
The Ultimate New Braunfels LocationStep directly from our wrap-around porch into the heart of downtown New Braunfels. Within walking distance, discover fine dining at Myron's Steakhouse, McAdoo's Seafood, and Huisache Grill. Sample local flavors at Krause's Café, and indulge in award-winning desserts at 2Tarts Bakery and Scoop Street.
When adventure calls, you're minutes from tubing on the Comal River, dancing at historic Gruene Hall, or exploring the Texas Hill Country. Our central location also makes Sophie's the perfect home base for day trips to Canyon Lake, San Antonio, and Austin. And don’t forget the theater we love Whitewater Amphitheater and just next door you can find our local Brauntex Theater.
