Fodor's Expert Review DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel Austin
303 W. 15th St., Austin, Texas, 78701, United States See on Map Fodor's Choice
One of the best-managed hotels in the city, the all-suites DoubleTree has a staff that anticipates your every need. Business travelers, sports teams, and families frequent the downtown high-rise. The Capitol—visible from many of the rooms, spectacularly so from upper-story balconies—is only a short walk away. Most of the classically decorated suites have one bedroom and large, separate living area (with fold-out couch); some have two bedrooms, two baths, and three TVs. Each has a small kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. The onsite 15th Street Café serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

LOCATION
Getting Around
Located in north downtown means walking is an option, but if you want to get places like Sixth Street or Congress Avenue, a pedicab, Uber or bike rental is a better idea. The hotel also offers a free two-mile radius shuttle.
Restaurants
Located a hop, skip and a jump from Austin’s beloved Texas Chili Parlor (2-minute walk). This funky bar and restaurant was featured in Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof for good reason—it’s delightfully kitschy. The food is cheap, the Western décor is fun, and chances are you’ll see cowboy politician catching up with his or her peers. The Clay Pit (3-minute walk is a long-standing Indian restaurant that serves up a popular lunch buffet and first-rate dinners in a 19th-century building.
