Courtyard by Marriott Austin Downtown/Convention Center

Stay Steps from the Music in the Heart of Downtown Austin

Modern, comfortable, and right in the middle of the action, the Courtyard by Marriott Austin Downtown/Convention Center puts you just two blocks from the 6th Street entertainment district and directly across from the Austin Convention Center. This hotel blends convenience and comfort with spacious rooms, free Wi-Fi, and on-site amenities like an indoor pool and fitness center, making it a great home base for a music-filled Austin getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything—and this hotel delivers. You’re just a short walk from Austin’s top live music venues and buzzing nightlife. The proximity to 6th Street means you can catch a late show and be back in your room in minutes. Despite the lively area, guests often note that rooms are surprisingly quiet for downtown. Late-night rideshares are easy to grab, and with a 4:00 PM check-in, there’s plenty of flexibility for travelers arriving just in time to catch the opening act.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends heading to a show and wanting to stay close to the action
• Solo travelers checking off that dream concert

• Fans who want an easy, quiet place to recharge post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers looking for solid value in a prime location

Food and Drink Options

The hotel has a casual on-site restaurant and bar, perfect for pre-show bites or post-concert snacks. While there’s no 24/7 room service, you’ll find plenty of late-night dining just steps away. Coffee lovers will appreciate the in-room coffee facilities for those slow mornings, and breakfast is available on-site for anyone recovering from a late night.

Nightlife Options

This is downtown Austin, so you’re surrounded by nightlife. Dance clubs, live music bars, and craft cocktail lounges are all within walking distance. While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music, it’s the perfect launching point for a night out on the town—and a quiet place to come back to.
