Where Art Lives Freely & Gatherings Spark Spirited Connections

PREMIER BOUTIQUE LODGING & GATHERINGS IN NEW BRAUNFELS

Nestled just off the Main Plaza, Sophie's Gasthaus stands as one of the most unique places to stay or host in New Braunfels, Texas.

Our 1906 historic property blends classic German architecture with contemporary design, creating a boutique hotel where European soul meets Texas hospitality and art lives at every turn.
