"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

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."
