4-Star Hotels in Travis County

My entire stay was first class. The location is central and close to major venues in downtown. The lobby and common spaces were very clean. The gym and pool were amazing, clean, and top tier. My room was spacious, clean, and quiet. I would definitely return to the Stephen F Austin Royal Sonesta.

Stayed before our flight back from Austin. Free shuttle to and from airport which we used after returning the rental car and to get to the airport for the flight. Lovely hotel, staff were helpful and friendly. Used the pool at 7.30pm, it is quite shallow but was warm . Everything was clean, there was a fridge, coffee machine and bottled water in the room as well as usual things like hairdryer and iron.

Went on a surprise staycation this weekend for my birthday at the brand new Hotel Magdalena. This place really impressed me- I’m surprised to be the first reviewer. Magdalena is right off South Congress Avenue, but it feels like an oasis all on its own. The whole hotel has a cool retro 70s aesthetic- with the lobby and features of the room like old school lamps and our exposed wood balcony as stand outs. That’s a difficult era to pull off, but I think they did it well. Everyone was warm and friendly at check in, and they had plenty of dog treats for the pooch. Shout out to Ryan at the desk. As far as the room, I loved the blue tile bathroom and our view of the skyline. The bed was a little firm, but we still got a good night’s sleep. As far as COVID, everyone was wearing masks and signs were posted all around the buildings, and I saw staff cleaning public areas multiple times during my stay. They also have time slots (2 hours) for guests to use the pool. I’m guessing this is to limit guest contact. Favorite highlights included the large pool in the middle of the courtyard (heated, with LED lights) and the restaurant, Summer House on Music Lane. The food is out-of-this-world good. If you stay here, have a meal- you won’t regret it. We got the steak and the bass with cocktails. Amazing. Our server, Laura, was knowledgeable and accommodating too. Right off of South Congress, amenities that can’t be beat, and dog-friendly- Hotel Magdalena is a real gem in the heart of Texas. I look forward to staying again!

Consistently lovely hotel with consistently good service. The juevos rancheros I ordered and had delivered to my room were incredibly good! And the coffee was nice and strong ….. glad I asked for extra cream and sugars ! Great location near the Arboretum stores and shops at the Domain . Also close to Whole Foods, H‑E‑B grocery store, Gateway movie theater, and lots of good restaurants, many within walking distance.. Large rooms, bathroom stocked with Aveda products. (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap for hands) was a very nice touch! The only thing I didn’t like was they have recently started charging for self parking in their uncovered lot ….. I paid $20 on 1/31/24. I don’t like that at all. Just put the price in your room rate and say free parking!

Convenient location for attending concerts Fast check-in and check-out

Very happy with this hotel. A convenient location to get to the Moody Center in a short time frame, amongst other spots we planned on going too.

Absolutely amazing resort! Restaurant, pool and spa, you never have to leave! The best part is easily the service though. They are always so great here and they definitely go above and beyond in their personal service to you the customer. They have a great restaurant and bar! The food is good and the bars are always open and ready to serve! My only complaint was it wasn’t busy and they closed the restaurant early….which I get but I almost felt like they rushed us out. However it was fine and we were happy to hit the other bar so the staff could go home since there were only two people there anyways.

I came to Austin for a business trip and lived here. In the business district, it is not too far from various attractions and famous restaurants. The overall is not bad. I will choose it next time.

My stay at the Austin Southpark Hotel was perfect. Please advise senior management they have all their ducks in a row. The lobby was fantastic, the recessed bar was an interesting touch, and the front desk staff were courteous and responsive. Breakfast twice at the restaurant was just what I needed to start the day. Restaurant staff were also courteous, and the breakfast was prepared properly. The room was clean as expected with all the amenities. The next time I am in Austin I will definitely return.
