Many of our guests are coming from out of town, so we’ve put together some of our favorite spots and activities. Austin restaurants and experiences can fill up quickly, so we recommend making dinner or reservation-based plans in advance whenever possible.

Outdoor Fun & Activities

Barton Springs – Take a dip in this iconic natural spring for a quintessential Austin experience.

Zilker Park - massive park in the middle of the city, great view of the cityscape, and lots of dogs to pet!

Lady Bird Lake – Perfect for a walk or paddleboarding. Our hotel is just steps away, making it easy to explore the trails.

Pedestrian Bridge – A great spot for a stroll and a photo; this is where we got engaged!

Comedy Mothership - World famous comedy club that hosts headlining acts every day of the week (recommend getting tickets ASAP, shows usually sell out a couple weeks in advance)

Coffee & Morning Spots

Desnudo Coffee – Our personal favorite; the coffee truck is right across from The LINE.

Cosmic Coffee East - Amazing coffee shop with breakfast food on the east side.

Medici Roasting – Classic Austin coffee vibes.

Merit Coffee – Great for a quick pick-me-up.

Veracruz All Natural Tacos – Perfect for a casual breakfast or snack without leaving the hotel.
