Hotel San Jose

Rest up for a road trip through Texas Hill Country at this 1930s motor court turned hip boutique hotel on trendy South Congress Avenue in downtown Austin. Located across the street from the legendary Continental Club, the hotel often plays host to touring musicians, some of whom play in the hotel’s inner courtyard during weekly Rock ’n’ Reel events (music followed by a movie screening). The overall design is a conspiracy of Mexican, Japanese, and Texan influences: Spanish tile roofs, gardens landscaped with a mix of bamboo and native vegetation, and minimally furnished rooms accented with cowhide rugs and pine beds. With amenities like complimentary WiFi, in-room manicures/pedicures, bike rentals, a small swimming pool, and a comprehensive music and video library, leaving this hipster haven and heading back to the open road may require some effort. www.sanjosehotel.com
