The number one rule of real estate is “location, location, location.” This is especially true when it comes to The LINE Hotel in Austin, Texas.
Located downtown at 111 East Cesar Chavez, The LINE Austin combines affordability with luxury, giving visitors a stylish place to stay with sophisticated dining options in the heart of one of America’s fastest-growing and most talked-about cities.
Austin’s unofficial slogan is “Keep Austin Weird,” and this ethic is well represented in the city’s vast collection of offbeat boutiques, exquisite eateries, and local artisans who eschew the ethic of corporate America. The LINE adds to the city’s aesthetic with accommodations that put you at the intersection of art, food, design, and the buzz of Austin’s electric Downtown & Sixth Street neighborhoods.
Rooms at The LINE Austin range from studios to suites, with views ranging from Town Lake and the Congress Street Bridge to downtown and the Texas State Capitol building – the largest of its kind in the country.
Another prominent feature of The LINE Austin is that many rooms are ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible and feature amenities including roll-in/transfer showers, lowered light switches and thermostats, 32-inch-wide doorways, and visual alarms/notification devices for the deaf or hard of hearing.
While there’s no shortage of fantastic places to eat in Austin, dining at the LINE is an experience infused with the city’s local spirit and the hotel’s eclectic personality. For a sophisticated bite, I enjoyed Arlo Grey, where award-winning chef, author, and host of “Top Chef” Kristen Kish blends French, Italian, and Texan flavors to create a diverse menu. P6, the hotel’s rooftop bar, offers light bites and refreshing cocktails with stunning skyline views and a backdrop of Lady Bird Lake. Veracruz offers outstanding Tex-Mex cuisine with some of the best tacos in Austin. And Alfred – Austin’s best coffee shop – offers a world-famous iced vanilla latte and homemade baked goods.
And for those who think it’s the little things that make a hotel stay extra special, The LINE Austin also features an infinity pool (with poolside cocktails and tacos), pet-friendly rooms with courtesy bags, water bowls, and treats, a 24-hour gym, bikes and stand-up paddleboards to borrow, and even free tarot card reading!
The LINE Austin, also puts guests in the perfect position to take in some of what makes Austin a premier destination, including:
:: Silicon Hills – another unofficial nickname for the area, Austin is s a booming tech hub, attracting companies like Tesla, Google, Meta, and Apple.
:: Music – Austin is the “live music capitol of the world” and features events like South by Southwest (SXSW) and the Austin City Limits (ACL) Festival. Plus, the Downtown and Sixth Street neighborhoods are famous for places like The Continental Club and Antone’s Nightclub, where the world first discovered Stevie Ray Vaughn.
