The best hotels on South Congress Austin offers are small, design-led and mostly run by one local company. Bunkhouse’s four properties, Hotel San José, the Austin Motel, Hotel Saint Cecilia and Hotel Magdalena, sit within a few blocks of each other, and all four appear in the MICHELIN Guide’s hotel selection. For a bigger, more conventional stay, Embassy Suites sits at the north end of the avenue by the Congress Avenue Bridge, and the seven-room Frame Hotel – Treehouse (the former Kimber Modern) is tucked into Travis Heights just off the strip. Cross one name off any older list: the South Congress Hotel closed for renovation in 2026 and won’t reopen, as The Standard, until spring 2027.
This guide is for travelers who want to wake up on Austin’s best-known street, walk to coffee, boots and live music, and leave the car parked. The caveat: these are small hotels, some with 20 or 40 rooms, so they fill early on festival and holiday weekends, and rates swing too much to quote. What we can give you are the policies that change the real cost of a stay (parking, pets, deposits and pools), taken from each hotel’s own FAQ and checked September 26, 2026. For the wider choice of neighborhoods, see our guide to where to stay in Austin.
What’s closed or different right now?
- The South Congress Hotel is closed. It shut on or around May 31, 2026 for a renovation and is expected to reopen in spring 2027 as The Standard. Only its Mañana coffee shop stays open during the work. Plenty of hotel lists still recommend it, so check before you book anything with that name.
- Kimber Modern has a new name. The seven-room boutique hotel at 110 The Circle in Travis Heights now operates as Frame Hotel – Treehouse.
- Formula 1 weekend is October 23 to 25, 2026. The United States Grand Prix at Circuit of The Americas fills hotels across the city, and small South Congress properties go first.
- Butler Trail detours near I-35. If you plan to walk the lake trail from South Congress toward Rainey Street, the north-shore trail near I-35 has detours for TxDOT’s highway rebuild. The City expected the permanent route back around September or October 2026, with intermittent detours again from November 2026 through January 2027.

The best hotels on South Congress, ranked
Ranked for a first-time visitor who wants South Congress itself, weighing location on the strip, character, and the policies that make a stay easier or harder. We haven’t stayed at these hotels; the rankings rest on each hotel’s own information, the MICHELIN Guide’s descriptions and the practical details below.
1. Hotel San José
Hotel San José is the South Congress hotel that most people picture: 40 bungalow-style rooms in a revitalized 1936 motor court at 1316 S. Congress Ave., with Jo’s Coffee, which the hotel calls its sister coffee shop, right next door. The MICHELIN Guide describes the look as Texas-meets-Japan minimalism and notes the hotel’s garden patio; in Michelin’s words, it’s been an institution since 1999. Location is the whole argument: the Continental Club is across the street, Allens Boots is two blocks south, and the “i love you so much” mural is on the side of Jo’s.
The practical details, from the hotel’s FAQ: self-parking in a private lot costs $30 a night, and you register your car at check-in. Well-behaved dogs are welcome for a $20 fee, and the hotel provides a bed, bowl and treats. Check-in starts at 3 p.m., with a $100-per-room authorization for incidentals. The pool is for guests only; the hotel doesn’t sell pool passes.
Verdict: The best all-round South Congress base. If you want to walk out of your room into the middle of the street, this is the one.
2. Hotel Saint Cecilia
Hotel Saint Cecilia is the quiet one. It has 20 secluded rooms at 112 Academy Drive, in the Travis Heights neighborhood just off South Congress, and a pool under a SOUL neon sign, with design drawn from the late 1960s and early 1970s. The MICHELIN Guide describes a green estate built around a Victorian house from 1888, and points to details like Hästens handmade mattresses and an in-house vinyl library, which tells you what kind of splurge this is.
From the FAQ: limited free on-site parking is available but not guaranteed, well-behaved dogs are welcome for a small fee, and check-in starts at 3 p.m. Families should note the pool rules: children can swim from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the rest of the day is adults only.
Verdict: The pick for couples and anyone who wants South Congress within a short walk but not outside the window. Book early; 20 rooms go fast.
3. Austin Motel
The Austin Motel opened in 1938 to serve travelers on the road between Austin and San Antonio, and its landmark neon sign has lit South Congress ever since. Bunkhouse refreshed its 41 rooms and suites in a playful, bright style (the MICHELIN Guide mentions orange beds and wallpaper and Tivoli radios), and the kidney-shaped pool is one of the best-known in Austin. It’s at 1220 S. Congress Ave., a block north of the San José.
The policies make it the easiest of the four in practical terms. Self-parking is free, first come, first served, with one space per room in a lot off South Congress on James Street. Check-in starts at 3 p.m. with a $50-per-night incidental hold. The pool is open to guests from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Well-behaved dogs are welcome for a small fee, with a bed, bowl and treats supplied, and Visit Austin’s accessibility roundup notes on-site parking and an accessible path to the entrance.
Verdict: The most fun of the group, and the one with free parking. Light sleepers should ask for a room away from the pool.
4. Hotel Magdalena
Hotel Magdalena is the newest and largest of Bunkhouse’s South Congress hotels, with 89 rooms on Music Lane (1101 Music Ln.), just off the avenue. Unlike its siblings, it was built from scratch; the MICHELIN Guide notes the mass-timber construction and a style recalling the 1970s, when Willie Nelson owned the land. Its restaurant, Summer on Music Lane, and the Equipment Room, a high-fidelity vinyl listening bar in the basement, mean you can have a full evening without leaving the property.
From the FAQ: overnight valet parking with unlimited in-and-out privileges starts at $55 a night, check-in begins at 3 p.m. with a $100-per-night incidentals authorization, and the pool is open to guests from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. The FAQ didn’t cover pets when we checked, so ask before you bring a dog.
Verdict: The best choice if you want a more complete hotel, with dining and a bar on site, and don’t mind paying for valet.
5. Frame Hotel – Treehouse
The former Kimber Modern, at 110 The Circle in Travis Heights, now operates as Frame Hotel – Treehouse. Listings describe seven rooms and suites around a terrace and garden, with a continental breakfast, on a residential street a short walk from South Congress. That’s a very different experience from the Bunkhouse hotels: no pool scene, no lobby bar, and very few other guests. Because the rename is recent and its own site wasn’t part of our check, confirm parking, pets and breakfast directly when you book.
Verdict: Worth a look for a quiet couple’s stay, with the caveat that details should be confirmed with the hotel.
6. Embassy Suites by Hilton Austin Downtown South Congress
At 300 S. Congress Ave., at the south end of the Congress Avenue Bridge, this all-suite hotel is the practical choice for families and groups: separate living space, a chain’s predictability, and a location that works for both South Congress and downtown. It’s about a mile north of the main South Congress shopping blocks, so the walk to Jo’s and the Continental Club is 20 minutes or so, while downtown is just across the bridge. Ask about parking and pets when you book.
Verdict: Less character than the boutique hotels, more room per dollar of space. The right call for a family of four or a group of friends.
Nearby, but not on South Congress
If everything on the avenue is full, three hotels are close enough to work. The Hyatt Regency Austin, at 208 Barton Springs Rd. on the south shore of Lady Bird Lake, is a big hotel a short walk from the north end of South Congress, with the bat-watching boats docking outside. The Loren at Lady Bird Lake, at 1211 W. Riverside Dr., is a high-end option on the lake about a mile west. And the Carpenter Hotel, another Bunkhouse property at 400 Josephine St., is closer to Zilker Park than to South Congress, which suits a trip built around Barton Springs. Our guide to hotels near Zilker Park covers those in detail.
What’s it like to stay on South Congress?
South Congress is Austin’s front porch: a wide avenue running south from Lady Bird Lake with the Capitol dome lined up at the north end, lined with shops, food trailers, bars and neon. Staying here means your first coffee, your boots and your evening’s live music are all on foot. Jo’s Coffee at 1300 S. Congress opens daily at 7 a.m. and closes at 7 p.m. Allens Boots, at 1522 S. Congress since 1977, opens at 9 a.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. on Sunday. Tecovas has its flagship at 1500 S. Congress. The Continental Club, at 1315 S. Congress, first opened in 1955. For the shops in detail, see our Austin shopping guide, and for the street’s place in the city, our guide to Austin neighborhoods for tourists.
The trade-off is that South Congress is a destination for everyone else too. Weekend afternoons are crowded, sidewalk space is at a premium, and the avenue is mostly unshaded, which matters from May to September, when normal highs sit at 90°F or above. Plan outdoor wandering for mornings and evenings and use the hotel pool for the middle of the day, which is exactly what these hotels’ pools are for.
Where can you eat and drink within a few blocks?
This is the other reason to stay on South Congress: dinner is a walk, not a drive. A short list to start with, from the businesses’ own sites and Visit Austin’s guides:
- Jo’s Coffee, 1300 S. Congress, for coffee from 7 a.m. and the “i love you so much” mural on its side wall.
- Guero’s Taco Bar, which Visit Austin lists for Tex-Mex with live music.
- Summer on Music Lane, Hotel Magdalena’s restaurant, and the Equipment Room, its vinyl listening bar downstairs.
- The Continental Club, 1315 S. Congress, for live music most nights.
- South First Street, a few blocks west, where Visit Austin points to Elizabeth Street Cafe for brunch, La Patisserie for coffee and pastry, and Lenoir and Fresa’s for a longer meal.
For the wider city, our best restaurants in Austin guide covers barbecue, Tex-Mex and the rest.
What’s Travis Heights like as a base?
Travis Heights is the old residential neighborhood that climbs east of South Congress toward I-35, and it’s where two of the quietest hotels in this guide sit: Hotel Saint Cecilia on Academy Drive and Frame Hotel – Treehouse on The Circle. Streets are leafy and hilly, with old houses and creek bottoms; the Travis Heights and Fairview Park historic district still has rustic stone bridges over its creeks. For a morning walk, the City’s Blunn Creek Greenbelt Trail (0.88 mile, at 1501 East Side Dr.) is marked ADA accessible in the City’s trail directory. You’re a five- to ten-minute walk from the South Congress strip, close enough for dinner and far enough for sleep.
How noisy is South Congress at night?
It depends on which hotel and which room. South Congress has live music most nights, and the Continental Club sits right across from Hotel San José and Jo’s. Weekend nights bring crowds, traffic and the occasional late conversation on the sidewalk. The quieter options are set back from the avenue: Hotel Saint Cecilia on Academy Drive and Frame Hotel – Treehouse on The Circle are both in the residential streets of Travis Heights. At any of the avenue hotels, ask for a room away from the street and the pool, and pack earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.
Verdict: If the point of the trip is to be where things happen, the noise is part of the deal. If sleep matters more, pick Saint Cecilia or Frame Hotel.
How do you get around from a South Congress hotel?
On foot, mostly. From the main South Congress blocks, downtown is roughly a mile north over the Congress Avenue Bridge, about a 25-minute walk, and the Capitol is at the far end of Congress Avenue. The bridge is also where Austin’s bats emerge at dusk; the colony roosts there from about March through late September, with some staying into the fall. Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool are about two miles west, a 40-minute walk or a short ride.
| Going to | From the South Congress hotels | Best way |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown and Sixth Street | About 1 to 1.5 miles | Walk over the Congress Avenue Bridge |
| Texas State Capitol | About 2 miles | CapMetro Rapid 801 up Congress, or rideshare |
| Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool | About 2 miles | Walk Barton Springs Road, bike or rideshare |
| Rainey Street | About 1.5 miles | Walk the Butler Trail east, checking detours near I-35 |
| Austin-Bergstrom International Airport | About 7 miles | Rideshare or taxi |
CapMetro’s MetroRapid 801 runs along South Congress to downtown and UT, with a local fare of $1.25 and a $2.50 daily cap when you tap a card. CapMetro Bikeshare costs $2.50 plus 25 cents a minute for a single ride, or $10 for a day pass of unlimited 30-minute rides. If you’re driving, the parking column in the table above matters more than the room rate: free at the Austin Motel, $30 a night at the San José, valet from $55 at Magdalena, and limited, unguaranteed free spaces at Saint Cecilia.
How do you get from the airport to South Congress?
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is about 7 miles southeast of the South Congress hotels. Rideshare and taxi pickups are on the ground level under the rental car facility, behind the Red Garage, and a ride to the avenue is the simplest option with luggage. On transit, CapMetro’s Route 20 starts at the airport and runs every 15 to 30 minutes, seven days a week, along Riverside Drive before heading downtown; from Riverside you can connect to the MetroRapid 801 south along Congress. For the trip home, the airport tells domestic travelers to arrive at least 2.5 hours before departure.
Which room should you ask for?
At small hotels, the room matters as much as the hotel. A few requests worth making:
- Away from the street and the pool if you’re a light sleeper, especially at the San José and the Austin Motel, where the avenue and the pool are the attractions.
- Near the pool if the pool is the point, especially at the Austin Motel, whose pool is one of the best known in town.
- Ground floor or step-free if stairs are a problem; motor-court layouts vary room by room, so ask about the route from parking.
- Parking confirmed if you’re driving to Saint Cecilia, where free spaces are limited and not guaranteed, or to the Austin Motel, where spaces are first come, first served.
- A dog-friendly room if the dog is coming, and confirm the fee when you book.
What does a South Congress hotel stay really cost?
Room rates on South Congress change by the week, and they spike for SXSW in March, ACL in October, Formula 1 weekend and holidays, so we don’t quote them. What we can do is show the costs that sit on top of the room rate:
| Hotel | Parking per night | Incidentals hold at check-in | Dog fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Austin Motel | Free (one space per room) | $50 per night | Small fee |
| Hotel San José | $30 | $100 per room | $20 |
| Hotel Magdalena | From $55 (valet) | $100 per night | Ask |
| Hotel Saint Cecilia | Free if a space is available | Ask | Small fee |
Then there’s tax. Austin hotel rooms carry 17 percent in combined hotel occupancy taxes: 6 percent to the state and 11 percent to the City (a 9 percent occupancy tax plus a 2 percent venue tax). Larger hotels, those with 100 or more rooms inside the Tourism Public Improvement District, also pay a 2 percent assessment that many pass on as a nightly fee; the Bunkhouse hotels, all under 100 rooms, fall below that threshold. On a $300 room, the 17 percent adds $51 a night before parking. For more ways to stretch a budget, see Austin on a budget.
Verdict: The Austin Motel’s free parking can make it the cheapest of the four in practice if you’re driving. The San José’s $30 parking and Magdalena’s valet add up over a long weekend.
What does a South Congress day look like?
Staying on the avenue lets you shape the day around the heat and the crowds. A simple plan from any of the South Congress hotels:
- 7 a.m.: coffee at Jo’s and the mural photo before the line forms.
- 9 a.m.: Allens Boots opens (Monday through Saturday; 11 a.m. on Sunday), then Tecovas and the boutiques as they open.
- Noon: lunch on South Congress or South First, then back to the hotel pool through the hottest part of the day.
- Dusk: walk north to the Congress Avenue Bridge to watch the bats emerge, from roughly March through late September.
- Evening: dinner on the avenue and a set at the Continental Club.
For full multi-day plans, see our Austin itineraries.
When should you book a South Congress hotel?
| When | What’s happening | Booking advice |
|---|---|---|
| March | SXSW, then Rodeo Austin (March 12 to 27, 2027) | Book months ahead; the small hotels fill first |
| April and May | Pleasant weather, pool season starting | Weekends book up; midweek is easier |
| June to September | Heat, with normal highs of 90°F or more | Pools matter; midweek can be the best value |
| October | ACL over two weekends and Formula 1 (October 23 to 25, 2026) | Book as soon as dates are announced |
| November and December | Mild weather, holiday events | Holiday weekends fill; weekdays are easier |
| January and February | The quietest stretch, with occasional cold snaps | Your best chance at a last-minute room |
All four Bunkhouse hotels start check-in at 3 p.m., and each takes an incidentals hold at check-in ($50 a night at the Austin Motel, $100 per room at the San José and $100 a night at Magdalena), so budget for the hold on your card as well as the room.
Can you bring a dog to a South Congress hotel?
Yes, at three of the four Bunkhouse hotels, according to their FAQs. Hotel San José welcomes well-behaved dogs for $20 and supplies a bed, bowl and treats; the Austin Motel welcomes dogs for a small fee with the same kit; and Hotel Saint Cecilia welcomes well-behaved dogs for a small fee. Hotel Magdalena’s FAQ didn’t cover pets when we checked, so ask. The nearest City off-leash area is Auditorium Shores, three acres at 1100 W. Riverside Dr. on the south shore of Lady Bird Lake, and the Butler Trail is a short walk north. Our pet-friendly Austin travel guide covers the rest, from heat to the places dogs aren’t allowed.
Which South Congress hotels work for families and accessibility?
For families, Embassy Suites is the natural fit, with suites that give kids their own space. Among the boutique hotels, the Austin Motel’s pool and casual feel suit older kids, while Hotel Saint Cecilia limits children to the pool between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and keeps the rest of the day adults only, which tells you who it’s designed for. Big Top Candy Shop on South Congress is a reliable afternoon bribe.
For accessibility, the older motor-court properties vary room by room, so ask specific questions about the route from parking to the room, the bathroom and the shower. Visit Austin’s accessibility roundup highlights the Austin Motel’s on-site parking and accessible path to the entrance. Newer and larger buildings like Hotel Magdalena and Embassy Suites are generally the easier bet, but confirm the exact room type in writing. Our accessible Austin travel guide lists the questions to ask.
South Congress, downtown or East Austin?
| Base | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| South Congress | Character, shopping, live music on foot, a walk to downtown | Small hotels that fill early; weekend crowds and some noise |
| Downtown | The most hotel choice, the convention and business district, Sixth and Rainey Streets | Bigger, less distinctive hotels; parking costs |
| East Austin | Restaurants, bars and a local feel | Fewer hotels; more rideshares |
| Near Zilker | Barton Springs, the trail and ACL | Fewer evening options on foot |
For first-time visitors who want Austin to feel like Austin, South Congress is hard to beat. For a business trip or a big group, downtown is easier. The full comparison is in our Austin neighborhood and hotel guide.
