The Hangar Hotel
As a former air traffic controller I have a love for airports. Pre 9/11 I used to take my scanner and tune into ATC frequencies while parked near the airport to watch and listen as the areal orchestration takes place. It probably wouldn’t even take 20 minutes for the police to show up these days. The Hangar Hotel in Fredericksburg gives you the opportunity to get as close as possible to the Gillespie County Airport without actually getting in a plane and taking off.
The hotel is themed after a WWII airport hanger and is full of memorabilia giving you a feeling that you are back in the 1940′s. Each room has a candle in the window and a note on the bed from the OIC. There is an Officers’ Club with a fireplace, full bar, pool table and a grand piano. This is a perfect place to spend the evening after spending some time on the observation deck watching airplanes.
If you are an aviation enthusiast or just looking for a unique experience The Hangar Hotel is a must.
