Accommodations
Something to take into consideration is that Austin is spread out. It can get suburban real quick. You want to be somewhat central so it’s either a quick Uber ride or walk to where everything is! If you are looking for a low key chill stay or have a larger group, renting an Airbnb or VRBO is likely the way to go.
At the crossroads where Town Lake meets downtown, the LINE Austin offers an infinity pool and rooftop cocktail bar overlooking Lady Bird Lake and Congress Avenue Bridge. Settle into a semi-submerged sun-lounger, sip cocktails under the tartan umbrellas, or cozy up by the outdoor fireplace.
If you’re looking for a winery type weekend check out this retro 1960’s roadside motel in the heart of the famous wine trail. Surrounded by over 75 wineries, breweries, distilleries and restaurants, this little slice of history has been dusted off and restored into a unique boutique hotel with vintage vibes.
A Hill Country hideaway hotel, the Lucky Arrow Retreat offers luxury cabins and yurts designed with the perfect combination of rustic charm and modern aesthetics. Watch out Napa, Dripping Springs Wineries is coming for you.
