THE WILLIAM HOTEL IN BOERNE IS BECOMING THE 1849 EXECUTIVE OFFICE SUITES 🏨➡️💼

A Fresh Start for a Downtown Landmark

The William Hotel, a beloved spot on Main Street in downtown Boerne, has officially changed hands. Ryoak and Phoenix Hospitality Group have taken ownership and announced a big shift: the charming hotel rooms will now be leased as upscale office spaces under the name The 1849 Executive Office Suites.

This exciting change blends modern workspaces with the town’s rich history, all in a prime location perfect for work and play. Think lunch breaks at Cypress Grille or Epicure, and views of Main Street from the balcony. Plus, every office suite includes its own private bathroom.

WEATHER FORECAST

Powered by Hammer Next Level Excavation

A little bit of rain in the forecast — and while most of us are just grateful for it, our partners at Hammer Next Level Excavation see something more: opportunity. A single inch of rain on a 1,000 sq ft roof can yield 600 gallons of water. That adds up fast — and with the right setup, you can save all that water for future use.

Hammer is a family-run, firefighter-owned Boerne business specializing in rainwater capture systems, storage tanks, trenching, and more. Plus, the City of Boerne offers a $150 rebate for installing a system. Ready to catch the rain? 📞 Call 210-846-4135 or visit hnlexcavation.com

Tuesday: High: 87º | Low: 71º | 25% chance of precipitation

Wednesday: High: 86º | Low: 70º | 20% chance of precipitation

Burn Ban: Off

Water Restrictions: Stage 2

Fish Have Returned to The Cibolo Creek… We Saw Them

I was out for a run and stopped for a breather down by the dam. Now, I know the City hasn’t restocked fish in the creek in quite some time. So I was surprised to see a handful of BIG fish hanging out right over the dam.

So if you have some time and a fishing rod, maybe go give this spot a try!
