In the Press: Texas Monthly, the Austin Chronicle & More on Reel 'em Inn

Since reopening in late 2023, Reel 'em Inn has caught the eye of writers and designers across Texas. Here's some of our favorite coverage.

Texas Monthly

In a travel feature on Rockport, Texas Monthly senior editor Courtney Bond named the Inn her pick for where to stay, writing that she's "partial to the upscale fishing cabins at Reel 'em Inn."

The Austin Chronicle

The Chronicle's Day Trips column dedicated a full feature to the Inn — the thousand-foot private pier, the yearlong renovation, and the coastal-chic rooms that brought a 1950s tourist court back to life. Read the column

The Bend Magazine

The Bend told our founding story: three families of friends who saw a great pier that happened to come with a motel, and the 11-month renovation that followed. Read the feature

Lake Flato Architects

Our renovation was designed by San Antonio's Lake Flato — whose founders received the American Institute of Architects' 2024 Gold Medal, the profession's highest individual honor. The Inn is featured in the firm's hospitality portfolio. See the project
