Where Heritage Meets Hospitality
At The Kendall, history, charm, and heartfelt service come together to create a luxuriously elegant experience. Our mission is simple: to meet each guest’s wishes with care, kindness, and sincerity. We are proud to offer a true expression of Texas Hill Country hospitality, refined and genuine, and always devoted to making your stay unforgettable.
A timeless setting on Cibolo Creek
Nestled along the banks of Cibolo Creek, The Kendall sits at the heart of Boerne’s historic downtown district. Built in 1859, its Greek Revival architecture blends classic design with the natural surroundings. Just steps from our front doors you will find the trailhead for the Cibolo Trail, a beautifully maintained path that connects you to the full charm of the district.
A legacy rooted in history
The story of The Kendall began on April 23, 1859, when John James sold the land to Erastus and Sarah Reed for $200. The Reeds built the original center section of the Inn as their home, introducing Southern Colonial architecture to the heart of the Hill Country. In an era before formal hotels, hospitality meant opening your doors to travelers, and the Reeds did exactly that, welcoming horsemen and stagecoach riders into their spare rooms while the grounds served as a wagon yard for ranchers preparing for long cattle drives.
Today, The Kendall stands as both a Texas and National Historic Landmark. Its halls have hosted countless guests over the decades, including President Dwight D. Eisenhower, proof that true hospitality stands the test of time.
