Austin, Texas, is a city that dances to its own beat. Known for its vibrant culture, live music, and booming tech industry, it’s a magnet for travelers. Recently, Crescent Hotels & Resorts added two new properties to the mix: Hotel Indigo Austin Downtown – University and Holiday Inn Express Austin Downtown University. These hotels are not just places to stay; they are gateways to the heart of Austin.

The Hotel Indigo, with its 149 rooms, captures the essence of Austin’s eclectic spirit. It’s a canvas painted with local art and music. Each room tells a story, blending comfort with a touch of luxury. Guests can expect spa-inspired bathrooms and locally inspired decor. The hotel is pet-friendly, welcoming furry companions to join in the adventure.

Located in the bustling Red River Cultural District, the Hotel Indigo is a stone's throw from iconic landmarks. The Texas State Capitol and the University of Texas at Austin are nearby. The famous 6th Street, known for its nightlife, is just around the corner. This prime location makes it a perfect base for both leisure and business travelers.

The Ladybird Kitchen + Bar, situated in the hotel’s lobby, is a feast for the senses. It offers a menu that celebrates local flavors, all while live music fills the air. The atmosphere is sophisticated yet inviting, a perfect blend for guests and locals alike. The Skyline Pool Deck + Bar offers stunning views of the Austin skyline, making it an ideal spot for relaxation after a day of exploration.

On the other hand, the Holiday Inn Express offers a more traditional yet comfortable experience. With its modern amenities, including a fitness center and complimentary breakfast, it caters to the needs of business travelers. The shared Skyline Pool Deck + Bar with Hotel Indigo adds a touch of luxury to the stay.

Crescent Hotels & Resorts is no stranger to the hospitality game. With over 120 properties across the U.S. and Canada, they have a reputation for excellence. Their portfolio includes a mix of luxury and lifestyle hotels, catering to diverse traveler needs. The addition of these two Austin properties enhances their already impressive lineup.

Austin’s hotel market is thriving. The city’s tech boom has led to an influx of visitors, both for business and leisure. Major events like South by Southwest (SXSW) and Austin City Limits (ACL) draw crowds from all over the world. The demand for quality accommodations is higher than ever. Crescent’s new properties are well-positioned to meet this demand.

But it’s not just about the rooms. The experience is what sets these hotels apart. Hotel Indigo offers free self-guided tours of Austin’s must-see attractions. This feature allows guests to explore the city at their own pace, immersing themselves in the local culture.

In contrast, the Holiday Inn Express focuses on functionality. It provides a comfortable stay with all the essentials. The modern design and practical amenities make it a reliable choice for travelers on the go.

As Crescent Hotels & Resorts expands its footprint in Austin, it’s clear that the city is becoming a hub for innovative hospitality. The blend of local culture and modern amenities creates a unique experience for guests. It’s a testament to Austin’s growing appeal as a travel destination.

Meanwhile, across the globe, Moxy Hotels is celebrating a decade of redefining the hotel experience. Known for its playful design and vibrant social spaces, Moxy has made a name for itself in the hospitality industry. The brand has expanded significantly in the Asia Pacific region, with new properties in Australia, India, Thailand, and Malaysia.

Moxy Hotels offers a fresh take on traditional hotel stays. Guests check in at the bar, greeted with a complimentary cocktail. The lobby is a social hub, buzzing with energy and creativity. From live music to pop-up shops, Moxy encourages guests to mingle and connect.

The brand’s compact yet stylish rooms are designed for modern travelers. Features like the Signature peg wall maximize space and functionality. Moxy’s unique digital guestbook allows travelers to share experiences and recommendations, creating a sense of community.

As Moxy celebrates its 10th anniversary, it continues to push the boundaries of hospitality. With plans for further expansion, the brand is set to remain a disruptor in the industry.

Both Crescent Hotels & Resorts and Moxy Hotels exemplify the evolving landscape of hospitality. They cater to the needs of today’s travelers, blending comfort with unique experiences.

In Austin, the addition of Hotel Indigo and Holiday Inn Express marks a new chapter in the city’s hotel scene. As the city continues to grow, so does the demand for innovative accommodations.

Travelers can expect more than just a place to sleep. They will find experiences that resonate with the local culture. Whether it’s the vibrant atmosphere of Hotel Indigo or the practicality of Holiday Inn Express, Austin’s hotels are ready to welcome the world.

In conclusion, Austin is not just a destination; it’s an experience. The new hotels reflect the city’s spirit, offering travelers a taste of what makes Austin unique. As the hospitality industry evolves, one thing remains clear: Austin is a city that knows how to host.
