This hotel boasts an incredible combination of history, hospitality, and fun; from the beautiful artwork lining the halls and the grand mezzanine exploring the building's history, to the plush, recently refreshed rooms and daily live music at the bar.

All of this will bring a $181/night room to $385/night and at that price there are better value/luxury in Austin. Read less
