The Albert
The Albert Hotel, a boutique New Waterloo property in the heart of historic Fredericksburg, Texas, is set within wine country and surrounded by Hill Country charm. Known for their elevated approach to hospitality design, New Waterloo’s team sourced Tupelo furniture to bring a modern sensibility to a landmark setting. The result is an outdoor experience that balances timeless character with contemporary ease.
When envisioning The Albert’s outdoor pool sanctuary — one of the property’s key guest amenities in the Texas heat — New Waterloo’s in-house design team selected Tupelo’s Line Chairs to anchor the space. They purchased eight chairs in our Sandstone finish, a tone that complements the serene, sun-washed palette of the poolside environment while offering guests the option to lounge directly in the water.
The circular pool was designed to feel like a communal gathering space — cozy, collaborative, and comfortable, even under the Texas sun. The Line Chairs allow guests to cool off in the water while chatting, ordering a beverage, or simply relaxing. Their sculptural silhouette strikes a balance: modern yet timeless, seamlessly integrated into a historic property.
The Albert’s poolside space has quickly become a guest favorite. The in-water seating draws people in — perfect for cooling off, connecting with others, or simply pausing with a drink in hand. The low-maintenance upkeep has been a win for staff, while the community recognizes the pool as one of the hotel’s defining features.
