Upscale accommodations in a downtown lakeside setting

The Radisson Hotel & Suites Austin – Town Lake has a lot to offer guests: a lakeside setting, a downtown location, live music and upscale amenities. Every guest will have something to do or see around this establishment, from a bike ride around the 10-mile Lady Bird Trail to shopping on 6th Street or watching bats emerge from the Congress Avenue Bridge, a natural spectacle. Walk outside the hotel and enter downtown Austin, with plenty of restaurants and music venues to choose from, or stick around the hotel and catch live music in the hotel's lobby.

Highlights
  • Live music in hotel lobby
  • T.G.I. Friday's restaurant onsite
  • Ideal location next to the Lady Bird Lake and Congress Avenue Bridge
Location

Radisson Hotel & Suites Austin – Town Lake sits adjacent to Congress Avenue Bridge, overlooking the Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin.

Great place to stay

The rooms are spacious. The staff was very accomodating. TGI Friday's which is located inside the hotel had very friendly staff. The hotel is walking distance to the convention center.

good location but poor bed linen

Fantastic location within walking distance to all great sights, restaurants, museums. We asked to move from the first room, which had a lovely views, because of water leaking from the bathroom ceiling and the bed linens looked used/creased. Then we moved to another room but right opposite to the noisy main road with the same feel of creased/used bed linens. However, staff were friendly and Starbucks is located inside hotel.

Great location

I did not get the room I was suppose to get. I booked a 2 bed lake view and paid extra for it, and did not get it. this was very upsetting to me, and i will never use orbitz again.

Great location - for bats!

Austin has a bridge with the largest urban bat population in the world. They come out every night at sundown for dinner. We're talking a million bats! This is the best view there is. Awesome sight! By the way, the rest of the hotel was just fine.

Kind of disappointing....

Room was not ready when we showed up at 4:00. The garage elevator was out of order in the morning. There was no sign directing us to the garage stairs... kind of hard to find. We had to haul our luggage up four flights of stairs to our vehicle.

If you are a runner... you will love the location. Do yourself a favor and pack your running shoes. The trail next to the river is one of the prettiest runs I've done.

Hotel was in a great location

The Radisson was in a great location to view the nightly feeding of the bats. Also great for the 4th of July fireworks, could not see from the room, but a very short walk outside to the Congress Bridge. Only 1 Restaurant onsite and the parking was very expensive. Otherwise was very pleased.

Spent time on 5th and 6th street, celebrating a friend's birthday and another ones last weekend as a single man. Had a blast and the hotel was in a prime location.
