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.

Very good

Liked: Parking was a little expensive per night specially since you are already paying for the stay but nothing to call home about. The place was very cute, the vibes and aesthetics great.
Disliked: the room was dark, this could be solved by opening up a window or smt but at night the room was very dim.

My Time as the Downright...

Liked: I enjoyed the overall vibe that the hotel had. The hotel's housekeeping did an excellent job every time. The hotel was as described. The location was the perfect spot in downtown which was accessible to any area in a short amount of time. The bed was large & firm. They had alot of amenities.
Disliked: I wasn't a fan of the front desk clerks. It seemed as though they did not care about assisting us. They lacked the enthusiasm to help. However, they still answered questions asked and were still helpful. They weren't as welcoming as one would assume to put it short. There was a smell throughout the floor of old smoke that I wasn't too pleased with. I felt as if the mirror area/sink could use more lighting. It felt too dark in that area at times.

Exceptional

Liked: Staff was very helpful and kind.the interior was luxurious and the room furnishings were extremely comfortable and refreshing.location is near the city center and very convenient to almost anything your wanting to explore in Austin.
Disliked: Unfortunately this location seems to be a busy spot for police action. Also we thought the pricing for the hotel parking garage was a little high for guests staying at the hotel and due to the difficulty of finding other means of parking and not knowing the area much we paid anyways.
