Gruene River Hotel & Retreat — Hotel in New Braunfels

Hotel was beautiful and private! It felt like we were staying with friends! The hotel is literally right on the Guadalupe River, and has steps leading directly to the river. We were able to get in the river, and watched the tubers go by. The house across the street played music so we were able to listen while we sat on a rock in the river. The food is so good, the breakfasts included foods such as an omelet, flavored grits, biscuits with gravy, a warm parfait, sausage, cinnamon rolls, fresh juice, and coffee. By far, the best grits ever! During the day there are treats such as homemade cookies and water flavored with fresh fruit. Free wine in the evening was awesome too! The staff are very friendly and gave us suggestions for where to eat. The hotel is walking distance to the rest of the Super cute town and shops. We also could walk to Gruene Hall and saw Hayes Carll perform, who was great. My husband and I had so much fun, that we decided we are going to take an annual trip on my birthday and stay in different rooms in the hotel. We stayed in NY Hideaway....super clean and decorated awesome with a river view. 21 and older hotel, so really quiet! Basically private like a B and B, but had the luxuries of a hotel....

Without a doubt one of our favorite hotels in Gruene Tx! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the staff manager (Christy), The staff was extremely friendly. This Hotel was in immaculate condition, rooms were enormous and very cleaned, very attractive furnishing decor throughout the Hotel.

A Gourmet Country breakfast is included in your stay at the Gruene River Hotel & Retreat. Restaurant Chef deserves a special thanks for providing remarkable Breakfast. This is not an ordinary continental breakfast the other chain hotels put out. A plus is the Complimentary wine bar in the evening time before dinner. There are several other great amenities the Retreat provides.

The scenery around the hotel is beautiful, several great restaurants and boutique shopping within walking distance. It was a relief to walk in such a quiet and peaceful smoke-free environment.

I rate this Hotel/Retreat a 5-Star +. I highly recommend this place to anyone that’s looking for a quiet weekend getaway. We will definitely be returning in the near future. Thank You! To the staff for a generous Hospitality.

Enjoyed our overnight stay even though it was very expensive. And even though we had really noisy neighbors!!|Otherwise the whole area was nice, clean and quiet. Breakfast was really good, even though it was only served between 8:30 to 9:30. Thought we would set an alarm as we are late sleepers and didn’t want to miss eating since it’s included, but didn’t need to thanks to the neighbors loud talking and their music blaring, & something else! |Had an outside entrance room with a somewhat nautical decor. Very clean.|Enjoyed the treats that were available in nice lobby area. A glass of wine with Chex Mix! Assorted cookies and some candy also available and fruit infused water. We attended a concert at Gruene Hall and were able to walk the short distance from the hotel, which is a lot better than trying to find a parking space around Gruene Hall, that’s for sure.|You would end up in the back forty, huge parking area, that would be further than walking...
