Beautiful modern hotel in the perfect Austin location! I was upgraded to a suite on the top floor with a pool view which was gorgeous, and the $40 credit to use was a great bonus. You’re within blocks of some of the most iconic spots on South Congress - highly recommend!

I came to Austin for a one night trip to spread my father‘s ashes on his college campus that he loved so dearly. The hotel staff did not know this, but upgraded me upon my arrival to the Milton suite which was the most magnificent hotel room I’ve ever stayed in! It made my state that much more memorable and special.

We love this hotel so much we’ve made it an annual tradition to stay when we visit Austin (a city with a LOT of great hotel options). This last visit exceeded our expectations in terms of the room and hospitality of the staff. I highly recommend staying here, especially if you would like to be within walking distance of great dining and shopping.
