Lark Hospitality helps hotels throughout the country serve the country with effortless efficiency. With nearly a hundred hotels and several restaurants under its belt, the hospitality brand is more than equipped to help the legacy The Faust Hotel has built continue to thrive.
“Formally founded in 2012 and buoyed by a team of equally hotel-obsessed experts, Lark Hotels is a haven for properties that break the mold and reflect the character of their setting,” the Lark Hospitality website reads.
The historic Faust Hotel opened as the Travelers Hotel in 1929. The Faust Hotel was built by locals to boost tourism during the Depression, designed by Harvey Smith in Spanish Renaissance style, and later renamed after its owner, Walter Faust.
Community Impact reports that the hotel closed for renovations last November, and the new Wilhelm & Werner restaurant that’s set to open when The Faust Hotel reopens will operate as a Texas Brasserie with European influences. Guests can expect a dining space and bar with the ability to seat 130.
Wilhelm & Werner is expected to make its debut when The Faust Hotel reopens at 240 S. Seguin Ave in Spring 2026.
