Things To Do

If you choose to stay in the hotel provided, you will not be in the heart of downtown Austin, but you will be in OUR neighborhood and, boy, do we love where we live! The hotel is situated within the holy trinity of shopping - right by The Domain, The Arboretum and The Arbor Walk. The hotel is just a stone's throw from Burnet Road, which is the main street that we live off of. Burnet is rich with cool shops and great food. Venture a little further east and check out some of our favorite places on North Lamar, Highland, North Loop and Airport Blvd. If you want to stick to the downtown area, the hotel is right near the junction of 183 (Research Blvd.) and the Mopac Expressway (TX Loop 1 Southbound). Or you can hop on the Capital of Texas Highway 360 for a more scenic view while traveling south. Stop off to hike Bull Creek or Mt. Bonnell. The weather is beautiful this time of year. We've compiled a list of our favorite restaurants, bars and miscellaneous things to do in this city.
