About
The Gloria Inn is a thoughtfully designed boutique stay, offering a quiet, refined escape in the heart of Waco. The property features eight private suites, each intentionally crafted to feel both comfortable and complete.
Every suite includes a private bedroom and bathroom, along with its own living space—featuring a dinette, and seating area with TV. Whether you're starting your morning with coffee or winding down in the evening, each suite is designed to feel like your own private retreat.
While each suite is fully self-contained, the shared experience comes to life outdoors. The pool cabana and courtyard serve as the heart of the property. Offering a relaxed, open-air setting with a fire pit, yard games, and thoughtfully landscaped surroundings. It’s a place to gather, unwind, and settle in.
Guest access
Guests have full access to the community areas, outdoor spaces, and all amenities. Whether you’re heading straight to the porch swing with a glass of wine or spreading out in the open-concept living room, The Gloria Inn is yours to enjoy.
The Neighborhood
The Gloria Inn sits in a quiet neighborhood just outside the city center, offering the perfect mix of calm and convenience. You’re a short drive from downtown Waco’s shops, coffee spots, and local favorites, including Magnolia Market, the Silos, Baylor University, and the Waco Suspension Bridge. But when you’re back at the Inn, the hum of the city fades, replaced by crickets, soft breezes, and a slower pace.
This part of town is a blend of old charm and new energy. Some homes have been in families for generations, while others have been lovingly restored and opened up for guests like you. It’s not unusual to see folks walking their dogs, chatting on front porches, or hosting a BBQ down the block.
Getting around
Private parking is available at the property, with easy alley access for guests. You’re close enough to Uber downtown, or you can hop in the car and be anywhere in central Waco in under 10 minutes. The neighborhood is safe, walkable in parts, and surprisingly serene for being so well-connected.
