TownePlace Suites by Marriott Austin South

Comfortable, Modern Base Just South of Downtown Austin

Modern and relaxed, TownePlace Suites by Marriott Austin South is a smart 3-star choice for music fans looking to stay near the action without being in the thick of it. Located just 5.7 miles from downtown and the Austin Convention Center, the hotel offers a peaceful retreat with quick access to the city's vibrant music scene. With spacious rooms, a fitness center, an outdoor pool, and even free bikes, it’s built for both comfort and convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a short drive or ride-share away from some of Austin’s most iconic music venues, including those near the downtown area and the University of Texas. The hotel’s slightly removed location means quieter nights for post-concert wind-downs. Late check-out at 12:00 PM gives you that extra bit of rest after a big night. Bonus: free bikes make for a fun and flexible way to explore the area or head to nearby bars and restaurants.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for spacious, suite-style rooms
Solo travelers ticking off their live music bucket list
Couples enjoying a weekend of shows and city fun
Fans needing a quiet recovery spot after a loud night
Budget-conscious travelers wanting good value and amenities

Food and Drink Options

Start your day after a late night with a continental breakfast served on-site. There’s also a grill for simple cookouts, and in-suite kitchenettes let you prep your own snacks and meals. While there’s no late-night restaurant or room service, plenty of local eateries are just a short drive or delivery away.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re just minutes from downtown Austin’s legendary nightlife—from intimate clubs to high-energy venues. Nearby South Congress and South Lamar offer great bars and lounges. After the show, return to the hotel’s chill shared lounge or take a dip in the outdoor pool to wind down.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms and the convenience of having a kitchenette. The staff often earns praise for being friendly and helpful, and many travelers appreciate the quiet location that’s still close to all the action. The free parking and strong WiFi are also big pluses for concert-goers.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel isn’t in walking distance to most venues, so you’ll likely need to grab a ride. Some guests mention that the breakfast is pretty basic, and a few travelers wished for more dining options on site. Still, most agree it offers great value for the price.

The Bottom Line

TownePlace Suites by Marriott Austin South is a smart, affordable pick for concert-goers looking for comfort, quiet, and easy access to Austin’s music scene.
