Our Picks
6 hotels · Aktualisiert im Februar 2026
Rainey Street
Named after Texas outlaw country legend Townes Van Zandt, this Kimpton property plants itself in the middle of Rainey Street's bungalow-bar corridor with a music-saturated soul — live performances in the lobby, guitar-pick door hangers, and a rooftop pool above it all. The Geraldine Bar downstairs is one of Rainey's best.
Downtown
Austin's most storied hotel, opened in 1886 by cattle baron Jesse Driskill and still presiding over 6th Street with Romanesque grandeur. The legendary Driskill Bar is where Austin's political and creative worlds have collided for over a century, and the historic rooms carry genuine architectural character that modern builds simply cannot replicate.
East Austin
Perched above Lady Bird Lake on the east bank, The LINE is the hotel that crystallized Austin's industrial-cool aesthetic — repurposed warehouse bones, local art by Shepard Fairey, and a lakeside terrace restaurant (Arlo Grey by Top Chef winner Kristen Kish) that draws city-wide crowds.
South Lamar
A converted 1940s Austin labor union hall that wears its history on its sleeve — original terrazzo floors, union crest ironwork, and an outdoor pool shaded by century oaks. The no-pretense vibe, genuine local restaurant (Carpenters Hall), and 93 thoughtfully designed rooms make it one of Austin's best mid-range bets.
Downtown
Set in the beating heart of the 2nd Street District, the W Austin puts its signature WET pool deck above a live music venue (ACL Live at the Moody Theater) and surrounds it with the brand's trademark sensory-overload design. Rooms are sleek and tech-forward, and the TRACE restaurant sources from Texas farms.
South Congress
Austin's most coveted boutique retreat — a 14-room sanctuary spread across a 1888 Victorian home and five poolside bungalows named after rock legends, set on two lush acres on South Congress. Music memorabilia, a private pool, and a strict no-children policy make it the definitive adult escape in the city.
