The Spotlight on DoubleTree By Hilton Hotel Austin-University Area

Comfort Meets Convenience Near Austin's Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, the DoubleTree By Hilton Hotel Austin-University Area offers a relaxed stay just steps from some of Austin’s most iconic music venues. Located right off I-35 near the University of Texas campus, this 3-star hotel has everything you need to recharge before or after a big show — including an outdoor pool, fitness center, and onsite dining. Rooms are clean and comfortable, with mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and workspaces, plus free Wi-Fi to keep you connected.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel’s location is a major win — just a short walk or quick ride to venues like the Frank Erwin Center and Texas Memorial Stadium. Guests love the late 12:00 PM checkout, perfect after a late night out. The 24-hour front desk and room service mean you'll always be taken care of, no matter what time your show ends. Plus, the hotel's location along I-35 makes it easy to grab a rideshare at any hour.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a big show nearby
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list concert
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans looking for a quieter place to wind down after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want Hilton comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel features a casual onsite restaurant and bar, perfect for grabbing a bite before or after a show. There's also room service available 24/7, and the full hot breakfast buffet is a lifesaver after a late night. For more variety, several local eateries and coffee spots are within walking distance.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself offers a quiet vibe, it's just a short hop to Austin’s legendary nightlife, including dive bars, live music lounges, and craft cocktail spots. The onsite bar is a nice low-key option for a nightcap or pre-show drink.

What People Say

Reviewers on Booking.com and TripAdvisor frequently mention the friendly staff, clean rooms, and excellent location for concerts and campus events. Many say it's an ideal base for a night out, with easy parking and quick access to downtown.

Areas for Improvement

A few guests have noted that rooms facing the highway may get some road noise, so pack earplugs just in case. Also, while the hotel offers solid amenities, it's not the most trendy or modern in Austin — but it delivers where it counts.

The Bottom Line

If you're coming to Austin for a concert and want a comfortable, well-located stay without breaking the bank, DoubleTree By Hilton Hotel Austin-University Area hits all the right notes.

The location was perfect; none...

Liked: I WAS CHARGED $104.99 FOR PARKING!!!! MY STATEMENT HAS TWO SEPERATE CHARGES FOR MY STAY, the one for the room was correct, the other charge for parking was not. We were given a QR code with our room key to use to pay the $20 charge (as stated by Booking.com) that the person checking us in said was $35...Regardless, it definitely was not $104.99. If the excuse is that it was for incidentals and should drop off my account...wrong it's been 17 days and they won't even acknowledge that they charged me. Besides that bit of dishonesty...I Loved the location of the hotel, it was near our event. I have been unable to solve the issue by calling, I was told it was Booking.com's fault because they charged me...WRONG, the charge is from the hotel (DOUBLETREE A-CFN7215 - 1617 NORTH INTERSTATE 3, AUSTIN, TX)!!!!!!!!! I'm mad - I know it's only $84, but it's MY $84.

Nice stay. Great staff. Just...

Liked: Location was great for the NCAA baseball regional. Everything was very convenient and the staff was super nice.
Disliked: Ice machines were out on every floor except the 6th. Parking is just too high for this level of facility.
