Hotels
We recommend these two hotels.
Stay at the Hyatt Regency if you want to be nestled on the shores of Lady Bird Lake directly across from downtown Austin. You will have close access to 6th Street, Rainey Street, and South Congress for entertainment, dining, and shopping. Walk to the Congress Ave Bridge near sunset in the summer to experience Austin’s famous bat show, featuring more than 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats.
