Hotel Indigo AUSTIN DOWNTOWN - UNIVERSITY by IHG

Description

In Austin’s Red River Cultural District, this is where the city comes alive—and where you stay right in the middle of it. At Hotel Indigo Austin Downtown - University, you’re steps from iconic live music venues like Mohawk and Empire Control Room, a short walk to 6th Street nightlife, and minutes from the Austin Convention Center, UT Austin, and the Texas Capitol. This is a downtown Austin boutique hotel built for the rhythm of the neighborhood. Mornings start slow, coffee in hand. Afternoons drift between murals and music. By night, the energy turns up. Ease into the evening at Urban Pour Social, where local flavor, live music, and art set the tone. Head upstairs for a sunset cocktail at Vista Pool Bar, or step out and catch a show at nearby Stubb’s—because here, the best of Austin isn’t planned, it’s discovered. When the night winds down, retreat to guestrooms designed for real rest, with plush bedding, spa-style showers, and thoughtful touches like white noise machines. A rooftop pool, 24-hour fitness center, and pet-friendly perks round out a stay that’s anything but ordinary. This isn’t just a hotel near 6th Street. It’s your place in Austin—loud, local, and unapologetically you.

Restaurant

Comedy Mothership brings stand up and cosmic vibes to Austin's live entertainment scene. Founded by Joe Rogan, this intimate club delivers big laughs, unexpected sets, and the kind of offbeat energy that feels right at home in the Red River District.

Savor bold Texas flavors from morning to night. Start with a Red River Breakfast, enjoy a ribeye with demi butter or cognac peppercorn sauce, or indulge in creamy sun dried tomato tortellini. Pair it with a craft cocktail and the laid back vibe inspired by Austin's spirit.

All day dining with downtown charm, Caroline brings laid back style and locally sourced bites to the table. Stop in for coffee, linger over brunch, or wind down with craft cocktails on the patio. It's fresh, unfussy, and always a good idea.

Watch the sunset over downtown with a Creole Berry cocktail or a smoky sweet Birds of Paradise in hand. Nosh on grilled chicken wings, baja fish tacos, or the smashed burger while soaking up open air Austin energy and unbeatable views.
