Heywood Hotel, Austin
Frommers + 3 more“The Heywood Hotel is Austin’s hippest boutique hotel. Set in a burgeoning section of East Austin, it offers one of my favorite stays. This modern but warm hotel, completed in 2011, started off as a 1920s bungalow. After being gutted and expanded, the hotel is an entirely new space, with just seven sparse and spacious rooms.”

Hotel The LINE, Austin
CN Traveler + 1 more“The LINE is big. Texan-style big. We are talking 428 rooms big. Though with Sydell’s knack for transforming spaces into landmarks of urban sophistication, it comes off as intimate and considered. The biggest selling point is location. The LINE is in the heart of the heart of downtown.”

Hotel San José, Austin
Frommers + 2 more“Location, location, location, and style, style, style—that’s what the Hotel San José has going for it. It sits in a prime part of SoCo, just up the street from popular shops like Lucy in Disguise, Stag, and Uncommon Objects. It’s also just a stone’s throw from Guero’s, a hopping taco and margarita spot.”

The Driskill Hotel by Hyatt, Austin
Lonely Planet + 2 more“Every city needs a beautiful historic hotel, ideally made from native stone and built by a 19th-century cattle baron. Although this one is now owned by the Hyatt, you’ll find no generic hotel decor here; everything is pure Texas.”
