Hampton Inn & Suites Austin Downtown is part of a chain of Hilton hotels spread across the country to host travelers. What makes this patch of real estate special is the convenience of being in the downtown area, close to the Austin Convention Center and one block from the state capitol. Centrally located deep in the heart of Austin at 200 San Jacinto Blvd., this Hampton offers valet parking and nearby restaurant room service.
The friendly staff greets guests as they enter and makes them feel at home in the Lone Star State with southwest hospitality.
Begin the day with Le Cafe Crepe right on the corner or head up to the second floor for a tasty breakfast buffet included within the price of the stay. A variety of beverages, action stations and a waffle maker make this morning meal self-service spot competitive with the surrounding restaurants and kicks off at 6 a.m.
Take the fast-moving elevator to the fourth floor to work off the calories at the fitness center and jump in the heated pool for a few laps after that.
Witness spectacular views and modern furnishings in the spacious rooms. The clean white-tiled bathrooms come with powerful shower water pressure and bright lights. Amenities include a personal coffee station, charging ports and a large television.
Pets are allowed but require a $50 non-refundable fee to supplement cleaning costs and smoking is not tolerated in the room coming with a hefty price tag of $250 for violators.
Second Street Market is a small convenience store in the lobby packed with goodies such as wine and snacks.
Having a wide range of perks that work in an environment that is conducive to exploring downtown Austin makes this Hampton Inn ahead of the rest. Start off your trip on the right foot with this Suite property!
