"Best of Old Austin."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
This gem of a retro motel has the charm and detail including tile work and spots of interest around every corner. The rooms are charming retaining a retro, relaxed vibe while providing modern comfort. We love this place and return often when taking in live music and great food all within walking distance from the motel.

Property Description

The Austin Motel opened its doors in 1938 to serve the growing car culture of the time for travelers between here and San Antonio, and its landmark neon sign has been brightening South Congress Avenue ever since. Operating under the mantra “So Close. Yet So Far Out,” the Austin Motel is a beautiful example of classic mid-century roadside motel architecture and an important part of Austin’s history.
