SAN MARCOS’ ONLY RIVERFRONT RETREAT
TIMELESS TEXAS CHARM WITH A MODERN EDGE
Melrose River Club transforms the San Marcos hotel experience with a perfect blend of modern amenities and exclusive river access. Lounge by the pool and bar, cast a line for premier fly fishing, indulge in s’mores around the fire pit, or easily make your way to Texas State or Austin events.
Crafted for guests 16 and older, our boutique hotel is the ideal retreat for romantic getaways, business trips, and private celebrations. From elegant riverside dinners to lively crawfish boils, we host signature events that bring the fun. Enjoy a laid-back yet chic escape, where Hill Country charm meets effortless elegance.
EXCLUSIVE SAN MARCOS RIVER ACCESS
Escape to 12 acres of lush nature at the only hotel on the San Marcos River. Just steps from the spring-fed water, guests can swim, float, relax in shaded lounge areas, go fly fishing, or enjoy a riverside picnic. For tubing, we recommend Texas State Tubes or Don's Fish Camp, where you will float by our property and can exit for a shorter trip or continue downstream.
RESORT-STYLE POOL, BAR, & CABANAS
Unwind at our swimming pool and bar, where relaxation meets luxury under the Texas sky. Lounge in a private cabana, take a rejuvenating swim, or enjoy a handcrafted cocktail from the bar on the sun deck. The pool offers a peaceful retreat exclusively for hotel guests, with daily passes available for non-guests.
TWELVE ACRES OF
NATURE & ADVENTURE
There’s no shortage of activities to keep you entertained at Melrose River Club. Play a friendly game of cornhole or bocce and explore the expansive 12-acre property with scenic walking trails. As evening sets in, gather around the fire pits to roast marshmallows under the starry night sky. Whether you're here to embrace adventure or relax in nature, there's something for every mood.
PRIVATE CHEF DINNER FOR TWO
Enhance your Texas Hill Country getaway with a private in-room dining experience. Chef Ashley Olson creates a gourmet three-course meal using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Personalize the evening with a bottle of wine, fresh flowers, or a delightful charcuterie spread. This luxurious dinner is prepared in the comfort of your riverfront cabin, or opt to have the same meal delivered to your door.
THE HEART OF THE CLUB
Step into the lobby where vibrant textures meet plush comfort, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere. A stucco fireplace, leather sling chairs, and boho-inspired details set the tone for your boutique hotel escape. Enjoy drinks, snacks, seasonal breakfast tacos and mimosas, or check out the antique champagne vending machine. Just outside is the communal farmhouse table for an al fresco dining experience.
