Where to Stay in Austin: The Complete MICHELIN Guide to the City’s Best Hotels

There are over 400 hotels in Austin. This is our guide to the 24 best in the city: every hotel selected for the Guide by MICHELIN Inspectors.

The MICHELIN Guide just arrived in Texas—now is the time to eat your way through the city. The capital of America's second-largest state, Austin has a feel that's completely unique in the South. It has the barbecue, yes, but also a musical reputation that's earned it the nickname the "Live Music Capital of the World"—think South by Southwest, Austin City Limits and endless local venues—as well as a booming tech scene that keeps it busy with business travel and a cultural history defined by the motto, "Keep Austin Weird."

Below, our hotel guide to the city—for every type of traveler.

Families:

Many of the hotels in the Downtown business district suit families who appreciate a nice breakfast, a pool, and fine service. Try the Fairmont Austin Gold Experience, for one, for an elevated experience with all the resources (and many dining and entertainment options) of the city's largest hotel. For those with grown-up children, the Frame Hotel (adults-only) is a cozy favorite for family reunions.
