“Very Nice Downtown Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Was in Austin for a meeting at this hotel. A historic landmark, updated into a very nice hotel. Just a couple of blocks away from the Texas State Capitol and a few more from the University of Texas. I found a Starbucks (always a nicety) two blocks down the road, along with a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.

Would definitely stay here again.

“Excellent stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

Intercontinental Austin

To me, this hotel is the epitome of Texas hospitality. Beautiful, historical building. Great customer service especially from the Concierge desk with their excellent recommendations.

Room was very well appointed and tastefully decorated with some southern charm. Some people will be dissapointed by the old school TVs - not something you would expect from an InterContinental.

Super clean, Internet for a fee, valet parking only but easy to park in the street or adjacent public parkings. In the heart of Austin close to the nightlife, restaurants areas and the State Capitol.

Will be back!

“First stay but not the last”

Got a room here from Expedia Unpublished rate deal. Never stayed here before. Great location for downtown. The room was a handicap access so it was spacious. Excellent staff. Everyone was friendly,helpful and extremely competent in their roles. I would stay here again even at the regular price. As a plus there is a great bar on the second floor.

“Perfect location for history buffs and music mavens--elegant lodging near the state Capitol and 6th Ave's honky tonk scene”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Stayed in executive suite for five nights--elegant, comfortable and large room. The bar restaurant on first floor has delicious, well prepared food. Hamburgers are out of this world.

Only detraction is the room furnishings are just a tad dated. TV was circa 1980. What's with that?!

“Great location - average rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

The only part about this hotel that made it feel like an "Intercontinental" was the linens. The beds were among the most comfortable I've experienced. That said, the hotel still has old tube TV's in their rooms...something you would be hard-pressed to find at a Hampton Inn, much less this high-end brand.

The location is perfect...a few short blocks to 6h street.
