Visit Austin Music Festivals Guide<\/a><\/p>\nMusic-Themed Hotels<\/p>\n
In Austin, the live music experience doesn\u2019t end when the headliners leave the stage. The city\u2019s collection of music-themed hotels gives visitors another way to lock into the soundtrack of the city, past the final encore on stage.<\/p>\n
Tucked away just off South Congress,\u00a0Hotel Saint Cecilia\u00a0remains one of Austin\u2019s most iconic music-inspired stays. Named after the patron saint of music and poetry, the 20-room secluded estate was conceived as a glamorous, rock-and-roll retreat with a soulful, private atmosphere. Inspired by the writers, musicians, and artists of the 1960s and 1970s, its accommodations blend antiques, modern furnishings, and original artwork, with secluded entranceways and outdoor lounge spaces adding to the sense of intimacy. Beneath sweeping live oak trees, guests will find a lounge and bar with a fireplace, an outdoor patio, and the signature heated \u201cSOUL\u201d pool.<\/p>\n
Along South Congress\u2019 Music Lane,\u00a0Hotel Magdalena\u00a0stands on land once home to the Terrace Motor Hotel, one of Austin\u2019s premier mid-century motor courts, and later part of a 14-acre tract owned by Willie Nelson, who ran the Austin Opry House here in the 1970s alongside apartments for his traveling road crew, known as the \u201cWillie Arms.\u201d Today, Hotel Magdalena honours that legacy with a laid-back stay inspired by Central Texas lake culture, where guests can unwind by the sunken pool, dine at the hotel\u2019s restaurant and bar, or spend time in Equipment Room, the hotel\u2019s intimate vinyl-listening lounge.<\/p>\n
Located in the Rainey Street Historic District,\u00a0Hotel Van Zandt\u00a0celebrates Austin\u2019s creative spirit with artistically designed accommodations, live performances, and thoughtful touches like in-room record players and a vinyl rental program. At the heart of the hotel is Geraldine\u2019s, its signature fourth-floor venue named after the guinea fowl that once roamed Rainey Street, where local talent takes the stage Thursday through Sunday for nightly performances, intimate showcases, and lively jazz brunches.<\/p>\n
Downtown on Willie Nelson Boulevard,\u00a0W Austin\u00a0offers a more contemporary take on the city\u2019s music identity, pairing sleek luxury with a front-row seat to Austin\u2019s entertainment scene. Designed with subtle guitar-inspired architectural details, the hotel sits next door to the famed Austin City Limits venue in the Second Street District, making it a natural fit for travellers who want to be close to the action.<\/p>\n
