Fodor's "This elegant 14-story hotel towers near the tangled intersection of I–35 and US 290. It earns high marks for value, but feels removed from the city though it's only about 3 mi from downtown." Full review

For a larger room without breaking the bank, request a corner king.

"This upper-middle-range chain is popular with business travelers and families, and is located in Southpark, a 5-minute drive south of downtown." Full review
Star Service "Though the Omni is geared toward business travelers, this place does lure tourists comfortable with the south-side location and a lack of nearby entertainment. " Full review
Gayot "When guests enter through the back side of this hotel, the traffic noise of busy I-35 is quickly drowned out by the relaxing sound of a fountain."
Zagat4.0
"Boasting an "ideal" location with "easy access to Downtown", this Southeast Austin luxury property caters to the suit-and-tie crowd."
Travel + Leisure "The hotel's South Austin location gives a head start on a day trip to San Antonio." Full review

"Stylish Hotel St. Cecilia, with just 14 rooms, is a boutique hotel in the truest sense of the word." Full review
Rough Guide "This swanky SoCo hotel, named after the patron saint of music and poetry, was created to inspire the best and brightest in the art world."
Star Service "Small, stylish and sophisticated, this colorful cultural opportunist brings a sexy, drip-dry West Hollywood bungalow vibe to the heart of the Lone Star state." Full review

Best to choose a second-floor unit, as complaints have surfaced regarding trampling feet in upstairs units.
Gayot "The redesigned Hotel Saint Cecilia, named for the saint of music and poetry, is a historic, romantic hotel with a rock-star edge."
BlackBook "This former estate has rechristened itself as a hotel of the highest order. It takes its name from the patron saint of music and poetry."
Zagat5.0
"Quirky amenities, such as turntables connected to Geneva sound systems in each room and a library of vintage vinyl."
Afar Magazine "Named after the patron saint of music and poetry, the Hotel Saint Cecilia mixes Southern comfort with rock ’n’ roll style." Full review
Jetsetter "A private estate anchored by a live oak–dotted 1880s mansion in the heart of South Austin." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Things in Austin just seem to born eclectically cool, and the Hotel Saint Cecilia is no different, with its hodge-podge of an old house, sleek studios and a handful of charming bungalows." Full review
