04
Hotel San José
Austin
A 1930s motor court on South Congress turned into a minimalist bungalow hotel with a garden bar and pool.
Austin, the capital of Texas, calls itself the live music capital of the world, and its music venues, food trucks and barbecue joints keep the city lively every night of the week. The Colorado River, here called Lady Bird Lake, runs through the center, lined with trails, and the swimming hole at Barton Springs is a local institution.
Where to stay
South Congress is the most characterful neighborhood, with vintage shops, music bars and several of the city's best small hotels. Downtown is convenient for the Capitol and Sixth Street, while the leafy areas north of the river are calmer.
Good to know
Spring and autumn are the best times to visit. Summers are very hot, and big festivals such as South by Southwest in March and Austin City Limits in October fill hotels and raise prices.
