A Chic Texas Hotel With 'Austin Influences' Is In A Perfect Downtown Location

The capital city of Texas has a distinct flavor all its own. Its unique culture attracts people from all walks of life. There just aren't too many places where you'll see tech bros rubbing elbows with musicians, next to politicians across from hipsters. Some visit to hear live music at Austin's legendary music venues. Others want to experience the unique Austin nightlife. There are so many reasons to love Austin, but whatever that reason may be for you, finding the right place to stay is key.

Canopy by Hilton Austin Downtown is located smack dab in the middle of the West 6th Street District. But don't worry; this section of 6th Street is more grown up and subdued than the part that's famous for wild college dive bars. Adorned with original art by local artists, this hip hotel's central location is the ideal home base for some of Austin's most desirable attractions and amenities.

Canopy by Hilton Austin Downtown was thoughtfully designed to feel like a tranquil retreat from the surrounding urban chaos with its peaceful courtyard and water feature, abundant natural light, and a calming color palette. The guest rooms are spacious and comfortable with a standard room starting at $184 per night and suites starting around $326 per night.

Guests can work up a sweat in the 24-hour fitness center and then take a dip in the gorgeous rooftop pool overlooking downtown Austin. Enjoy a drink in your sun lounger from Cover 604  —the chic poolside bar. Once you work up an appetite, you can savor innovative locally sourced cuisine inspired by Chef Paolo Gama's Mexican roots and global travels at Verbena. From churro pancakes in the morning to Baja tacos at lunch to carnitas for dinner, you can always find something delicious at Verbena. When you're ready to take on the city, Canopy offers complimentary bicycles to make it easy to explore the nearby attractions without the hassle of downtown parking.

No matter what kind of adventure you're looking for in Austin, Canopy's prime location puts you close by. You're a three-minute bike ride from the trails along Lady Bird Lake and 1.5 miles from endless outdoor recreation at Zilker Metropolitan Park. If you want to enjoy some of the best live music Texas has to offer, you're half a mile from Austin City Limits Live and 1.5 miles from the legendary Continental Club. Just over a mile away, you can explore the Bullock Texas State History Museum or the Blanton Museum of Art. Are you in town for an SEC football game? Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium is only 2 miles away.

If Austin's unique nightlife is what you're after, you're right next door to Star Bar, known as "the original West 6th Street bar." It's the perfect place to watch a game or have a drink on the patio. Venture down the road about a mile and over one block to Fifth Street and visit Mean-Eyed Cat —a chainsaw repair shop turned dive bar with a Johnny Cash theme. Then, cut a rug and listen to live music at Donn's Depot, which has been housed in an old train depot since 1978. Don't forget to end your night with a plate of chicken and waffles at 24 Diner —an upscale '50s-inspired diner next door to the iconic Waterloo Records.
