DOUBLETREE BY HILTON AUSTIN, Austin

This hotel sits near major highways, making it convenient for car travel around Austin, though downtown traffic can add travel time. It is about 11 km from downtown, with options like Pappasito's Cantina, Chili's, and Sushi Japon within a 0.5 km walk. The Texas State Capitol and the University of Texas are a short drive away. For events or meetings, the property is also close to various restaurants and services, reducing the need for long trips. Those without a car may find the location less central, but nearby eateries and the hotel's own dining options provide ample convenience.

Room types include quadruple rooms, triple rooms, and suites, with options featuring one king bed or two double beds. All rooms include air conditioning, heating, tea and coffee making facilities, a flat-screen TV (with cable and streaming services on some models), and a private bathroom with a bath or shower. Selected premium rooms and suites have private balconies, while courtyard-facing rooms share a wrap-around patio. Some rooms are accessed via exterior walkways around the pool, which can allow more light and noise. Requesting an interior-corridor room may provide a quieter experience, as courtyard rooms can pick up poolside activity and hallway sounds. Bed comfort varies, with many finding the mattresses and pillows very comfortable, though isolated reports mention sagging in some units.

Texture offers a varied menu including breakfast buffets with fresh fruits, hot basics, and omelets, as well as lunch and dinner with items like smoked wings and burgers. The bar/lounge area is open daily from 06:00 to 01:30, serving drinks and food. A Starbucks counter in the lobby provides coffee and specialty drinks at a competitive price. Breakfast is available for an additional charge (approximately $20) and includes continental, American, gluten-free, and buffet-style options. The on-site dining is generally regarded as convenient and good value, though alternatives within walking distance include Pappasito's Cantina, Chili's, and Sushi Japon.

The outdoor pool is 0.9 m 7 inches at its deepest, sun loungers and beach chairs are provided, and the pool area is set in a garden-like courtyard with a terrace and outdoor fireplace. The hot tub is also outdoors and available seasonally (currently unavailable until the second week of February). The fitness centre is equipped with multiple treadmills and other machines, and can become busy during peak times. All wellness facilities are free for guests.
