Modern Comfort in the Live Music Capital

Element Austin Downtown is a sleek, contemporary hotel located in the heart of downtown Austin.

With a bright, modern design and thoughtful amenities like kitchenettes and free WiFi, it’s an ideal base for anyone exploring Austin’s legendary music scene.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel puts you right in the action—just a short walk or scooter ride from Austin’s best live music spots. After the show, come back to a quiet, air-conditioned room with blackout curtains for a solid night’s rest. The 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out times offer a fair amount of flexibility for weekend trips or post-gig sleep-ins. Plus, you’re close to rideshares and late-night eats, making it easy to get home after a long night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want to stay together downtown
• Solo travelers ticking artists off their concert bucket list
• Couples making a romantic weekend of it
• Fans looking for a quiet, clean spot to recharge after the show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want upscale touches like a fitness center and free breakfast

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Caroline Restaurant offers American fare perfect for fueling up before or after a show. The Coffee Bar serves up pastries, caffeinated pick-me-ups, and cocktails. Free breakfast is served daily—ideal for late risers after a night out. While room service isn’t 24/7, the downtown location means you’re never far from something tasty.

Nightlife Options

You’re steps away from Austin’s nightlife scene, including bars, clubs, and live music joints. While the hotel doesn’t host live music itself, its cozy on-site bar is a great spot to wind down with a local cocktail. Don't feel like wandering? Chill on the hotel’s terrace with friends and recap the show.
