The Spotlight on Downright Austin A Renaissance Hotel - New Hotel

Stay Steps from Austin's Music Scene

Modern, stylish, and located in the heart of downtown Austin, Downright Austin A Renaissance Hotel is perfectly placed for live music lovers. Just a short walk from the legendary Red River Music District and the University of Texas campus, this newly opened hotel pairs sleek design with Southern hospitality. Expect spacious rooms, thoughtful amenities like a coffee maker and work desk, and a vibrant lobby that’s both social and inviting.

Why Concert-goers love it

This location is a dream for music fans—you’re within walking distance of some of Austin’s most iconic venues, so there’s no need for late-night rideshares. Despite the bustling area, guests report quiet, comfortable rooms ideal for post-show downtime. With a 3:00 PM check-in and a generous 12:00 PM checkout, you’ll have plenty of time to settle in before the show and sleep in after.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to shows together
  • Solo travelers ticking off a dream artist
  • Couples making a romantic weekend out of a concert
  • Fans who want a quieter place to recharge after a gig
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for a central stay with value

Food and Drink Options

  • Morningbird café in the lobby is great for a quick breakfast taco and coffee after a late night
  • Plenty of walkable dining spots and bars nearby on 6th Street
  • While on-site dining is more daytime focused, you're never far from a bite

Nightlife Options

  • 6th Street’s legendary nightlife is just blocks away
  • Red River bars and live music joints are walkable
  • Lobby area offers a relaxed vibe for a post-show wind-down

What People Say

Guests love the unbeatable location near music venues and downtown attractions. Many mention the spacious, clean rooms and friendly, helpful staff. The modern design and easy access to the city’s vibrant culture make it a favorite for out-of-town concert-goers.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no full-service restaurant or bar on-site yet, so you’ll need to head out for a full meal or late-night drinks—but in downtown Austin, that’s hardly a problem. Parking can be pricey, so consider rideshares or walking if you’re staying local.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in Austin and want a stylish, central place to crash that's close to the action, Downright Austin A Renaissance Hotel is a top pick.

Decent but parking is $$

Liked: Nice clean rooms. Good location
Disliked: Fridge was not cold. Room was not ready at the 3pm checkin time (had to wait till 4pm). Power went out at night (from 3am-4am). Using the parking garage is $50/night so you have to find street parking nearby to get something cheap, but it’s limited.

Fun, happeneing and friendly stay

Liked: Super fun spot for leisure or professional stay. Loved the art deco, pink pool house decor. Staff were lovely, new the area well for recommendations and all around a great time
Disliked: Hotel lobby caffe was a rip off and toaster wasn’t working. Minor in the scheme of things but did feel this experience could be improved and make the hotel all round 9-10 with better product selection, pricing and helpful cafe staff. Big different from the hotel attention to detail which was awesome!

Fun, relaxed vibe and friendly...

Liked: Pool - it is super fun and cute, cozy patio setting. Good DJs on DJ nights and still a family-friendly vibe even when there are loads of uni students and couples and later in the evening. Fun cocktails for me, yummy pizza and snacks for my kids. Rooms - they are cute and cozy and the colors are happy and retro. Very simple and functional but still warm and pretty spacious. Two Queen room was perfect for three. Location - if you like live music, bars, etc this is perfect since all of that is in walking distance. Close to the medical centers, in case that is why you are staying in Austin. Cheap uber ride to most places in the Austin area. Staff - by far the reason we kept coming back. Jordana and Cesar are stand-outs and the restaurant and cafe staff are all outstanding. Friendly, accommodating, and professional. You can tell the people working here generally like what they do (or they are great at pretending) and it translates into everyone being super friendly and helpful.
Disliked: Nothing to complain about.
