Fodor's "The location is ideal: one block from 6th Street, four blocks from the Capitol, and next door to the historic Paramount Theater." Full review
Lonely Planet "A restrained formality greets you in the marble-clad lobby of this 1924 beaux arts building. The sort of quiet elegance that attracts privacy-seeking celebs."

Time Out "Comfortable digs in a convenient area (the hotel is located with easy access to both I-290 and I-35) make the Crowne Plaza Austin a desirable place to kick back on vacation." Full review
