ChipandJoanna Gaineshave another success on their hands.
TheFixer Upper: Welcome Homestars' latest project, the recently restored Hotel 1928,officially openedthis month, and PEOPLE confirms it booked out on opening day.

There are four room types on offer, according to the site: The Franklin (a standard room with either one king or two queens), The Austin (which offers “more space” and is ideally located in the hotel), The Columbus (the largest rooms that have a “high end” feel) and The Washington (a singular suite for up to 12 guests offering multiple sleeping and living spaces).
Amenities includes custom bath products, minibars, turndown service and a 24-hour concierge among others.
In addition to designing the rooms, the Gaineses also helped select furnishings for the building’s three restaurants. They released several watercolor renderings, seen here, of what the finished spaces would look like before they opened.
Bertie’s on the Rooftop serves seasonal dishes on the hotel’s rooftop terrace while the Brasserie at Hotel 1928 offers southern comfort classics with a uniquely Texas twist. The building also houses the Café at Hotel 1928, a spot to grab a morning pick-me-up or sweet treat.
There’s also a library and a retail shop on site.
In 2017, they debuted a second vacation-rental property,Hillcrest Estate. The 1903 home boasts 7 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. “We definitely kept its old world charm,” Joanna wrote in an Instagram post introducing it at the time.
