Colton House Hotel

Hip, Homey Vibes in the Heart of South Congress

Modern yet warm, the Colton House Hotel blends upscale comfort with Austin cool just south of downtown. Nestled on iconic South Congress Avenue, this 4-star boutique hotel is just over 2 miles from the action-packed Austin Convention Center and a short ride to the city’s most legendary live music venues. With sleek design, spacious suites (some with full kitchens), and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s an ideal launchpad for your music-fueled getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel nails the balance between central location and serene retreat. You're just a quick rideshare from Austin’s busiest stages, but far enough to enjoy a quiet night’s sleep after the encore. Flexible 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out times make it easy to plan around setlists, and the friendly 24-hour staff is always ready to help you find your next gig—or recover from the last one.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for roomy suites with lounge space
• Solo travelers who want a safe, stylish base
• Couples planning a romantic show weekend
• Fans needing quiet after a night of loud amps
• Budget-conscious music lovers who value space and amenities

Food and Drink Options

While Colton House doesn’t have a full-service restaurant, there’s an on-site bar and a curated list of walkable eateries nearby on South Congress. Many suites include kitchens, making late-night snacks easy. No 24/7 room service, but the staff can recommend nearby spots for a post-show bite, and breakfast options are just steps away.

Nightlife Options

You're in one of Austin’s liveliest districts, so nightlife is never far. Grab a cocktail at the cozy on-site bar or explore the many bars, lounges, and live music joints within walking distance. Whether you're into dive bars or rooftop views, South Congress delivers.

What People Say

Guests love the spacious, beautifully designed rooms, friendly staff, and peaceful atmosphere. The kitchenettes are a hit with those staying multiple nights, and the location earns high marks for being both lively and relaxing. Many reviewers say it feels like a home-away-from-home in the best part of Austin.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no full-service restaurant on-site, and while the pool is a nice perk, it’s seasonal only. Parking is available but comes at a fee—something to note if you're road-tripping in.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a stylish, serene stay close to Austin’s music scene, Colton House Hotel hits the right note.
