"There's no pool or other on-site amenities besides a nice fitness center and small massage room, but the location in the heart of Austin's famous Sixth Street entertainment district is prime." Full review
Rough Guide "This handsome and historic downtown hotel is Austin’s swankiest choice, with an opulent marble lobby and updated rooms."

If you can’t afford to stay here, drop by the lobby bar for a mid-afternoon whiskey sour.
Michelin Guide "Double balconies, arched windows and a hand laid marble lobby floor made downtown Austin's grandest hotel into a frontier palace."
Gayot "The lobby's grandeur, with stately columns towering to a stained glass dome, hints at the opulent accommodations awaiting guests."
DK Eyewitness "The magnificent lobby of this historic hotel, with its marble floors, three-story columns, and stained-glass dome ceiling, exudes luxury and opulence."
BlackBook "The piano lounge is a study in cattle-baron cool, with cowhide couches and cowboys-and-indians sculptures."

"It's not only conferees who appreciate the "first-rate" facilities at this "immaculate" University of Texas campus business hotel, where the 40,000 sq. ft. of meeting space is "great"."
Fodor's "Business travelers, conference attendees, and a host of visiting relatives (in town for UT graduations) frequent this relatively new addition to the University of Texas campus." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This is a business hotel, but even if you aren’t here on business, you'll be comfortable and enjoy being steps away from the heart of UT." Full review
Lonely Planet "This swanky hotel on the UT campus is perfect for alums who want to relive their college days but in much higher style." Full review
