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.

Expensive and a bit weird

Liked: Checked in had to wait for a room after not being able to find our booking…. Eventually made it to the room which was spacious ( corner king) the cafe was really expensive and the coffee was awful… croissants were ok but overpriced…. The downstairs bar was pre mixed cocktails and limited food options , the salad and chips and fries were ok as snacks …It was a very bizarre atmosphere in the bar area…. Reception staff and valets were really friendly … cleaner did our room everyday but did throw away my half drank bottles of coke and sprite these were not near the bin but at my bedside table ( seemed very odd) overall a good stay but wouldn’t go back … ok location… bathroom set up was toilet and shower and sink was separate in the bedroom … also lighting was really dim so couldn’t put make up on as no light or table only sink area …. Hairdryer was poor and got red hot but didn’t dry very well… steamer for clothes provided and was good … coffee was better in the room but had to move machine as no plug nearby !!!!! This hotel was nice but could do so much better….

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Disappointing

Disliked: The property was nice, my problem was a lack of hospitality. The bell hop/ valet was unhelpful, he asked if he could take our bags but then questioned why we needed help if we had so few bags. I just told him never mind and went about carrying all of my own things. The woman that checked me in was the only person that was kind and acknowledged me. Otherwise it was a cold and odd experience and not worth the money.
