2 Best Hotels in South Austin and South Congress District, Austin

A stunning, design-lover's dream, this boutique hotel is tucked one block off South Congress Avenue and boasts the dual appeal of an exclusive, private escape and direct access to an urban neighborhood. The virtual concierge and keyless entry (guests use personalized pin codes) make check-in a thing of the past, and the award-winning design, from Eames-laden interiors to an open-air courtyard centered around a massive live oak tree, is equally modern. Built-in perks, like self-serve gourmet breakfasts and automated coffee machines spouting specialty drinks at the touch of a button, feel downright futuristic. 

This boutique hotel boasts posh accommodations, a rooftop pool, three on-site restaurants, a coffee shop, a lobby bar, and street-level retail shops that add to the charms of its South Congress address. It's a beloved gathering space for locals just as much as for out-of-towners, with a wide range of special events, weddings, pop-up markets, and other themed parties hosted in their various communal spaces on most weekends.
