Eat & Drink

Leisure & Business
The hotel goes the extra mile to provide guests with fitness classes to help them stay fit.
“This historic downtown hotel, a designated AAA Four-Diamond property, balances its Roaring Twenties origins with modern expectations; the location on Congress Avenue puts guests in the center of Austin's action, but I'd suggest a room away from the street if quiet is a priority. The rooftop terrace stands out, offering city views alongside on-site dining, and I find its blending of old-world charm with up-to-date amenities appealing.”
