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.

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Larry Sun, 20 April 2025

Stay was good would be...

Liked: Location was great
Disliked: I really didn’t like the fact that I had to pay $39.00 to park there even though I had already paid to stay there, that really pissed me off. I travel all over for events and never had to pay to park were I was staying and this would definitely make me not choose this place again.

My stay was satisfactory

Liked: Good location in relation to the event i attended while there, was able to walk to venue. Room was larger than expected and very clean.
Disliked: Room faced the road, kept waking up throughout the night due to noise from traffic. I think the room needed an extra light source, I turned all the lights on in the room and it still felt dim. Lastly the shower smelled funny, kind of a mildew smell, while unpleasant wasn't unbearable.
