Hyatt Centric Congress Avenue Austin
Staying in downtown Austin made this hotel a perfect choice for exploring the city—everything was within walking distance. The property is brand new, with modern design and clean, well-maintained rooms that felt fresh and inviting. My only disappointment was not knowing I needed to register as a member at check-in to receive complimentary water. I declined the registration initially, not realizing it was required even for such a small perk. Unfortunately, staff didn’t proactively explain the requirement, which felt a bit misleading. Also, I’m quite sensitive to noise, and the sound from the air conditioning unit kept me awake during the night. That said, overall my stay was still very positive. The location is unbeatable, the room was comfortable, and the attention to detail in the design stood out. I’d definitely consider returning, especially if they can improve on the quietness of the AC system.

Everything about this place felt thoughtfully designed, from the modern decor to the quiet, peaceful atmosphere. It’s hard to find such a great balance between location, comfort, and value—this place truly delivers. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Austin.

Thompson Austin is an exceptional place to stay. The martini selection at the bar is outstanding, and the cuisine at Arribas delivers top-tier quality with bold, delicious flavors. Its location is perfect—just a half-block from Sixth Street means you're close to all the action yet enjoy a surprisingly quiet and private atmosphere. The ambiance is refined, the staff are attentive, and every detail feels thoughtfully curated. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Austin.
