Make the Most of Your Austin Stay

A city where live music meets modern ambition

Austin has earned its trademarked title as the Live Music Capital of the World through more than 250 venues spanning intimate clubs on Rainey Street to the state-of-the-art ACL Live at The Moody Theater. Beyond music, the Blanton Museum of Art houses one of the country's finest university collections, including Ellsworth Kelly's only architectural work, while the Texas State Capitol anchors Congress Avenue with Italian Renaissance grandeur. The Hill Country modern aesthetic defines much of the city's architecture, blending local limestone with contemporary design in a distinctly Texan yet sophisticated style.

Culinary excellence and business infrastructure

The 2024 Michelin Guide awarded stars to 7 Austin restaurants, including Barley Swine and Craft Omakase, cementing the city's position as a serious dining destination. Uchi sets the standard for contemporary Japanese cuisine, while neighborhoods like South Congress and East Austin offer everything from upscale seafood at Perla's to legendary barbecue at Franklin. The downtown district is exceptionally well-equipped for business travelers, with premium hotels near the Convention Center and easy access to Lady Bird Lake's 10-mile trail system.

Natural escapes and regional exploration

Barton Springs Pool maintains its constant 68-70 degree temperature year-round, providing a spring-fed oasis within Zilker Park. The city's position makes it ideal for Hill Country exploration—Fredericksburg's wineries lie 80 miles west, while Lockhart's barbecue sits 30 miles south. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport connects efficiently to downtown via rideshare or CapMetro bus.
