This trendy, 83-room boutique opened in 2015 and has made a name for itself thanks to its stunning design and excellent location on Austin’s bustling South Congress Avenue. Its proximity to popular bars and restaurants, as well as the hip, sophisticated vibe largely with couples, though business travelers and families can also be spotted. Modern, minimalist rooms have sleek bathrooms, LED TVs, free Wi-Fi, and minibars. Solid features include several excellent bars and restaurants, including a Japanese eatery and rustic cafe. An outdoor swimming pool with lounge chairs, 24-hour gym, and free shuttle service round out the amenities. There's no full spa and parking is pricey, however. Travelers looking for a bit more intimate stay may prefer the 14-room Hotel Saint Cecilia nearby, which has quirkier rooms.
