Where are the Best Places to Stay in Austin?

When deciding where to stay in Austin, you’ll need to understand one important fact—every neighborhood of the city presents something special that helps to “Keep Austin Weird.” Here are some of the more popular places in the city and one or two great Austin hotels for each:

South Congress

For a front row seat on the weirdness that defines Austin, we recommend a stay at a hotel in the South Congress (SoCo) section of South Austin. The city’s true character is on display in this eclectic neighborhood (to say the least) in the form of vintage art galleries, trendy boutiques, and open-air music venues. Let your freak flag fly all day and all night.

• Wyndham Garden Hotel – A short drive from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) and a short walk from the fun in South Congress, the Wyndham Garden offers a convenient location for exploring the area. The on-site hot tub, fitness center, and outdoor pool are awesome amenities. But, it’s pretty tough to beat a customizable burger with over 12,000 flavor combinations from the hotel’s ReVive! restaurant.

Downtown

Like any typical capital city central district, downtown Austin is home to a fast-paced business and government hub. The beehive of commerce turns into a swarm of revelers come sundown, as the offices close down and the bars and entertainment venues along Sixth Street open up.

• The Omni Austin Hotel – Elegant, sophisticated, and contemporary, the Omni is attractive to business travelers and vacationers, alike. Midway between the convention center and state capital—and offering a 24-hour business center and free Wi-Fi—the hotel is primed for you to get work done. And, just a block from Sixth Street, the Omni plugs you into the life of the party, too.

Rainey Street

Nestled along the Lady Bird Lake section of the Colorado River between downtown and South Congress, the Rainey Street Historical District is a perfect mix of the two. Craftsman homes in the shadows of the Austin Convention Center have been converted into bars, with yards that now serve as beer gardens. Grab a bike from a fusion food truck on your way to your industry event on the convention floor.

• Hilton Austin – Talk about the best of both worlds, the Hilton is one block south of Sixth Street’s excitement, and just across the street from the Austin Convention Center. After a day at your industry event across the street, unwind with a dip in the rooftop lap pool, have a drink or meal at the Liberty Tavern of Finn & Porter, then hit the town for an intimate show at one of Austin’s popular music venues.

Bouldin

One of the premier locales for Austin lodging has to be the laidback neighborhood of Bouldin. Located just west of South Congress and across the Colorado from downtown, Bouldin is central to all. You can be at the convention center, University of Texas, or capital building in a matter of minutes. And—perhaps more importantly—the bars and restaurants on Rainey and Sixth Street are a short cab ride away.

• Hyatt Regency – Dress up for a night at the symphony at the Long Center for the Performing Arts, or take a laidback approach with a community concert on the grass at the Auditorium Shores at Town Lake—both just outside the Hyatt’s front doors. Enjoy a delicious meal with a breathtaking city view at the Marker 10 restaurant, then retire to your stylish guestroom for a restful night’s sleep on the triple-sheeted Hyatt Grand Bed.
