Gayot "This hotel is tucked in the heart of downtown. It is just two blocks from the State Capitol and four blocks from the University of Texas."
BlackBook "A pool is on the premises to work off the chocolate chip cookie proffered at check-in."
Lonely Planet "Just northwest of the capitol and within walking distance of UT, the all-suites Doubletree feels remarkably corporate, but it does offer a little extra space." Full review
OysterUpper-middle-range
"The hotel's 188 suites are spacious with tasteful, if generic, contemporary decor, and come with separate living and sleeping areas, and kitchenettes with full-size fridges and dishwashers. " Full review
Travel + Leisure "You could walk to UT from the Doubletree, but the hotel also has an on-demand shuttle service to nearby spots that will come in handy when you don’t want to hoof it." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Doubletree Suites, an all-suite hotel a stone's throw from the Texas Capitol building, is well suited for long stays and families."

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."
