Top hotels in Rainey Street Historic District
Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown
Great location overlooking Rainey St. The property was new and clean and the staff were friendly. Super close to the river/lake and amazing bars and restaurants. The only issue I had was the sliding barn doors on the room bathrooms. Why is it this way? It's not private.

Hotel Van Zandt
Everything was great - especially the front desk and general cool vibes - but breakfast took a long time to come to the room and was cold by the time it got there. Happened twice.
