Hotel Saint Cecilia Review

A small, private hotel, the Saint Cecilia (named after the patron saint of music) sits on a large property just off South Congress. The original house (1888) has five rooms, each with a different emphasis (the bathroom in one, bedroom in another, garden in a third). Behind the house is a modern, understated building with three guest rooms, hotel reception, and an indoor/outdoor lounge area, while across a landscaped yard set off by old oak trees are three modern bungalows located around a small pool area, each with an upstairs and a downstairs unit. Rooms are designed with clean lines and attractive spaces, and each has its own outdoor area. In each room, you'll find a turntable connected to a Geneva sound system. But the capper is the Swedish Hastens mattress, handmade with all-natural materials, which feels like nothing I've ever experienced. After spending the night on one of these, you can have breakfast crepes in the lounge area while gazing out at the old oak trees and ponder what you could possibly do to make your life any better.

Facilities:
Bar; concierge; outdoor pool; breakfast-only room service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
