So Close, Yet So Far Out
Historic Austin Motel sits just south of the Colorado River and downtown with its 41 rooms and suites, iconic marquee sign and the best swimming pool in town. Stay in view of the State Capitol and walking distance to the famous bat bridge in the beloved South Congress neighborhood. You’ll have easy access to Austin’s hiking and biking trail that connects to Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool and the Barton Creek greenbelt. Our most valuable amenity is our amazing, longtime staff who are available around the clock. When you stay here, you’re so close, yet so far out on South Congress.
