It’s a decent 4* hotel with a great bar (definitely check it out - it’s a throwback to old school Texas). If you have Hyatt status, as a globalist it was a good suite upgrade and they had a nice welcome amenity of a cheese plate and a solid Cabernet from Napa.

While the hotel is nice though, the E 6th St part of town that the hotel is on though is a little rough. Lots of offices in that area, and as of May those were pretty empty, so there were a lot of aggressive homeless people although that was during the time when Austin was voting on the encampment ban which passed so not sure how it is today.

Good hotel, but as SA1 points out, the area isn’t as great as it was a few years ago

If you’re looking for something nice and close to good nightlife, the new Fairmont is a good option

Go with the new Thompson instead if you’re looking for Hyatt.

I see! Im trying to go to the ACL next week that’s why!
