Although mechanical cranes continually haul in new hotels brick by brick to keep up with the bursts of city activity, when you stay in Austin, no matter if it’s a gleaming glass high-rise or a whimsical bungalow, you get a sense of place. Travelers from buttoned-up business pros late to their next meeting to pet parents with at least two furs in tow to families with backpacks heading to Zilker Park, find suite-only boutiques with ginormous rooms and kitchenettes, super luxe and perfectly-placed downtown digs on Lady Bird Lake, or revitalized Jazz-era mansions with extremely curated local touches in each one-of-a-kind, slightly weird neighborhood. No matter if you’re stopping by for one of the city’s best-known festivals or visiting to capture the Capital for the first time, plan your trip with this list of the best hotels in Austin.
