The eclectic d\u00e9cor is inspired by the late 1960\u2032s and early 1970\u2032s rock and roll and beat poetry movements. The impressive Victorian structure that is now Hotel Saint Cecilia was originally built in 1888 as the Miller-Crockett house, and was occupied by a descendant of Davy Crockett (Leslie Crockett and his wife Mary Ann Miller) for over 60 years before it was converted into a Bed &amp; Breakfast in the 1990s. The property underwent renovation and reopened as Hotel Saint Cecilia in 2008. Stay in an artistic room in the main building, or check into a dreamy poolside bungalow. Either way, you\u2019re sure to wake up refreshed and inspired.<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>See<\/strong>:<\/u><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tspb.state.tx.us\/SPB\/Plan\/Tours.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>The Texas State Capitol<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<em>1100 Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78701<\/em><br \/>\nTexas\u2019s capitol building dates to 1888. It was designed in 1881, but it took seven years to complete the construction on this gorgeous and imposing structure. Of note is the rotunda (a whispering gallery), which features portraits of every person who has served as president of the Republic of Texas or governor of the State of Texas.<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>Savor<\/strong>:<\/u><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/quiaustin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Qui<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<em>1600 E 6th Street Austin, Texas 78702<\/em><br \/>\nThe buzz-worthy Qui serves up creative and satisfying international cuisine (with a heavy Asian influence). The craft cocktails are as delicious as their names are delightful (try the \u201cArt of Heartbreak\u201d or the \u201cAmerican Slang\u201d).
