Double Tree by Hilton

Located midway between Austin’s two biggest hubs—downtown and Domain (the cultural and entertainment hub in the city)—Double Tree by Hilton is housed within a Spanish-style colonial building which seems almost out of place amidst the surroundings. As you walk in through stone archways into a landscaped courtyard peppered with decorative fountains, you’ll be presented with a delicious cookie upon your arrival, as is customary with all Double Tree properties across the world. Spread across six floors, the hotel offers a total of 350 spacious guest rooms decorated in shades of gold and cream, and offering all the usual amenities (complimentary wifi, coffee machine, high-def TVs, hairdryers). If you’re travelling for business, make the most of the 22,000 sq ft meeting space where you can organise a conference, make a presentation and even host a formal dinner where the in-house staff will cater to all your needs. There’s also a fitness centre, swimming pool, jacuzzi, a café and a lounge on the premises.
