Fodor's Expert Review Lone Star Court

The expansive Domain shopping district is known for its high-end retail and upscale dining, so it’s refreshing that the area has this boutique hotel, inspired by retro motor courts, that's more affordable and approachable than its competitors. Centered on an outdoor pool and courtyard, rooms feature trendy “retro-ranch” interiors, with stylish throwbacks like full-size Smeg refrigerators alongside Lone Star accents, like sliding barn doors to the bathroom. An on-site food truck offers an all-day menu, and the Watering Trough bar and café provides a free daily breakfast, dinner service, and live music throughout the week.
