Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a dream for live music fans thanks to its prime downtown location—just a few blocks from big-name venues and late-night bars.

The 24-hour front desk and secure private parking make it easy to come and go, even after a late encore.

• Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value without sacrificing location

Food and Drink Options

The hotel serves up a solid buffet or continental breakfast—perfect for those late concert mornings. While there’s no 24/7 room service, you'll have a kitchenette in every suite plus access to nearby late-night bites just a stroll away on 4th or 6th Street. Grab a drink or light meal at the on-site restaurant, or venture out to countless food trucks and eateries within walking distance.

Nightlife Options

You're at the heart of it all here—just a stone’s throw from Austin’s legendary bars and music lounges. Whether you’re catching a second set after your concert or just want a nightcap, the area around the hotel is packed with options. While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, its chill bar and common spaces are great for pre-show meetups or post-gig wind-downs.
