Location
The centre of Austin can be reached within a 5-minute walk, and natural attractions like the Pease District Park are merely 1.9 km away. The Royal Sonesta Stephen F Austin is approximately a 5-minute stroll from 115 7th/Colorado bus stop and close to the William Sidney Porter House.
Guests will also appreciate the vicinity to Palm Playground, located only 1.1 km away. For sport lovers this Austin hotel offers proximity to the high school football stadium "House Park", which is nearly a 20-minute walk away.

Rooms
Some of the air-conditioned rooms have a dining area and a kitchenette, and such facilities as a flat-screen cable TV, along with an electric kettle. Also, they feature marble flooring. Some rooms look out onto the mountain. Guests are welcome to use a kitchen with a microwave, coffee/tea making equipment, and a washing machine in an apartment.
Eat & Drink
Guests are invited to the on-site Roaring Fork restaurant to indulge in culinary delights.
“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.”
