Immerse Yourself in Elegance
Nestled right in downtown New Braunfels, TX, you'll find The Faust Hotel. This historic spot, reopening in Spring 2026 after extensive renovations, is the perfect place to host a refined, one-of-a-kind wedding celebration.
A Piece of Local History, Revigorated
For years, The Faust Hotel was known as 'The Traveler's Hotel' and served as a central meeting spot and accommodation in New Braunfels for nearly a century. The current renovations have brought a modern design to the venue, with elegant flourishes that pay homage to its 1920s roots. Forty-five comfy rooms on-site are ready to host you and your guests, which feature beautiful, hand-carved antique furniture and plush furnishings. There's also a full-service restaurant and bar, a speakeasy with a vintage feel, and your loved ones will have easy access to explore around town.
Ballroom Bliss
The Faust Hotel boasts a carefully designed Grand Ballroom for receptions and special events with up to 100 guests. For your wedding, you can customize the space to match your vision, with an open floor plan and plenty of room to dance the night away. Gourmet cuisine will be provided by the renowned catering crew, who make sure that your tastes and preferences are met. You can also enjoy bar services, with all the premium beers, wine, and spirits you require. Rentals are also available through the venue, with options to suit your reception needs.

I absolutely loved working with McKenna at the Faust for our big day!!! She was so nice, quick to respond, and helpful with our planning. The Faust was a great and affordable optio...
n for our reception for approximately 65 guests (we had our ceremony at my parent’s house on Lake Dunlap). My guests also LOVED the venue and had a blast at our wedding. I thought I’d be able to attach photos but don’t see that option on this review. I’ll post later if I can figure it out lol. Hugs and happy wedding planning :)

We used them to cater our wedding. We had them do a bacon burger bar, but they completely forgot to give us bacon. It almost completely ruined the buffet and all the buffet signs t...
hat I hand made. Then when told Brandi, the manager in charge of our event. She said she'd give us refund of 50 cents a person and just said, "well it was just human error." I had to practically beg for any form of compensation and then she said shed comp a meal at their restaraunt for me and my Hub as if we just had a bad meal experience. She acted completely unprofessionally and didn't have a care in the world that she almost ruined the buffet. If the Faust knew what was good for them they wouldn't let Brandi manage anymore wedding accounts. Terrible experience.

guests loved the local brews. We had the ceremony and reception in the party room, and loved that all of our family and friends could stay with us at the hotel. Great venue!

Reese at the front desk was amazing! We did welcome bags, and they made sure everyone who was there for our wedding got one, even if they hadn't reserved by the cutoff date for our...
room blocks. They also provided a really great discount for our guests, and made sure everyone was able to take advantage of the deal. We reserved a block at a different local hotel, and no one stayed there because they couldn't match the prices (or convenience) of the Faust!

It was a really good stay and we got to stay up and continue the party after the wedding was over! Some of my guests thought it was haunted :P

This place is a beautiful venue for a semi-small wedding/reception (approx. under 200 guests). It has a vintage feel to it and the staff is great to work with. They do alot of wedd...
ings, so they really know what they are doing. We had several compliments on the place, and the food was excellent. It is nice because it is all inclusive - including food, cake, set-up, linens, and music.
