AUSTIN, TX HOTELS & RESTAURANTS
Are you looking for a place to stay or a quintessential Texas restaurant in Austin, TX? Perhaps a historic attraction or winery in the Hill Country? We can help! See our favorites below.
We’re so thankful for those who bring creative energy and soul to the city — Austin’s galleries and studios host thought-provoking exhibitions year-round. One of our favorite stops is The Contemporary Austin, whose dual locations (downtown at the Jones Center and outdoor at Laguna Gloria) offer modern art that engages the senses and encourages conversation.
If you’re looking for a great daytime outing, we suggest the Bullock Texas State History Museum. It’s the go-to destination for understanding Texas’ rich and often wild past, with interactive exhibits and a stunning IMAX experience. We’re grateful for the folks who preserve Texas history — the artists and educators who make our visits so memorable.
Actually, one of our most unforgettable experiences in Austin was a visit to The Austin Winery, a truly unique urban winery where guests can sip bold blends crafted right on-site. This is no ordinary tasting room — it’s a creative hub where wine, music, and local flair collide. A perfect place to unwind after exploring the city.
If you’re planning on attending a show at the Moody Theater or the Long Center, we recommend taking some time before or after to visit West Chelsea Contemporary, an art gallery just off 6th Street showcasing contemporary masters and emerging talents. With a welcoming vibe and curated collections, it’s one of those hidden gems that make Austin unforgettable.
Another must-see is The Texas Capitol, one of the nation’s most iconic government buildings. Free tours give you a fascinating look at state history and architecture — a favorite for locals and visitors alike. For a step further back in time, consider The French Legation Historic Site, which offers a glimpse into Austin’s earliest days.
Touring is also a delight thanks to Austin’s culinary scene — one we’re lucky to experience. The city is known for its vibrant mix of flavors and unforgettable eateries. One standout is Jeffrey’s, an iconic fine-dining spot in Clarksville, known for impeccable service and exquisite steaks.
Another favorite is Sammie’s Italian — a throwback to vintage Italian-American charm, this downtown restaurant serves up red-sauce classics, seafood, and steaks with style and comfort. If you’re craving something bold and unique, El Naranjo offers award-winning Oaxacan cuisine that feels both soulful and elevated.
We are here for you. We love you and are looking forward to sharing in the joy of music with you.
