Heywood Hotel

Staying at Heywood Hotel was an absolute delight. The room was incredibly comfortable and came stocked with refreshing beverages and tasty snacks—such a thoughtful welcome! We were in room 4 on the second floor, and the private patio felt like having an extra space to unwind in. The shared outdoor area was just as inviting, with cozy cushioned seating, tables, and shaded areas perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. Located in East Austin, the neighborhood is full of great dining and drinking spots—no car needed. We stayed for two nights, and during our visit, we were the only guests in this intimate boutique hotel with just seven rooms. It felt quiet, personal, and truly special. I’d absolutely stay here again—the charm, comfort, and attention to detail make it stand out. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, stylish retreat in Austin.

Commodore Perry Estate, Auberge Resorts Collection

This is my second visit to this hotel, and I’m just as impressed as the first time. The staff are genuinely warm and always ready to help with anything—from recommendations to check-in assistance. The property has a wonderfully intimate feel, beautifully decorated with elegant touches throughout. It’s not located right in the heart of downtown Austin, which makes it perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful retreat away from the noise and crowds. That said, there’s often live music on certain evenings—depending on the schedule—which adds a lovely local vibe. Everything about this place feels refined and thoughtfully curated. If you value quiet luxury and authentic charm, this is definitely the spot. A truly memorable stay.

At&T Hotel & Conference Center

Staying at the AT&T Hotel & Conference Center located right on the University of Texas at Austin campus was a wonderful experience. The quiet, peaceful atmosphere made it feel like a true retreat, yet everything I needed was just a short walk away—dining spots, shopping areas, and popular attractions were all easily accessible. The location is unbeatable, nestled in the heart of campus with plenty of greenery and a calm vibe. Parking costs $21, which is a bit steep, but given how convenient the spot is and how close it is to everything, it's totally justified. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations—highly recommend for anyone visiting Austin, especially students, travelers, or business guests looking for a serene yet central base.
