Housing fee
We are reaching out to inform you of an upcoming change that may affect your hotel stay.
Beginning July 1, 2026, a New Braunfels Tourism Public Improvement District (PID) fee will be applied to qualifying reservations. This fee has been implemented by the City of New Braunfels.
Details of the fee:
- Amount: 2% of the room rate
- Effective date: July 1, 2026
- Applicability: All stays with room nights on or after July 1, 2026
- Billing: The fee will be added to your reservation and reflected on your final folio
Please note that this is not a tax, but a city-approved assessment applied to hotel stays. It is separate from room rates and applicable taxes and does not impact your booking terms or cancellation policy.
What this means for you:
- Your reservation details—including room type, dates, and amenities—remain unchanged
- The fee will simply appear as an additional line item on your final invoice
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us for further clarification.

Site Description
New Braunfels offers a Feast experience where families and brethren naturally come together to rejoice, relax and experience deeper connection throughout the Feast.
We have exclusive use of the convention center, which serves as a hub for fellowship. Its flat floor, wide rows and aisles, parents’ rooms and a fragrance-controlled room make it easy for all ages to move about comfortably and stay after services. In addition, we offer Spanish translation and hearing assistance, as well as a video feed in the parents’ room. Complimentary coffee and pastries draw people together and set the tone for fellowship.
That sense of ease extends outward into the town itself. Set in a walkable historic downtown, the site is surrounded by German bakeries like Naegelin’s, farm-to-table restaurants, classic Texas beef barbecue and relaxed gathering spots for meals together.
New Braunfels is a destination in its own right; with water activities, golf and easy outings like Natural Bridge Caverns close at hand. Housing options range from affordable hotel suites with kitchenettes to condos to luxury homes along the river and in nearby Gruene. It’s easy for extended families to stay together and still move around independently.
New Braunfels is also close enough for afternoon trips to San Antonio’s River Walk and Austin’s renowned restaurants.
In late September and early October, average temperatures range from lows in the 50s to highs in the 80s.
Fragrance-controlled room available: Yes.
Lodging tax rate: 13%
Closest airport: San Antonio (SAT), 36 miles.
