Hotel San Jose - Hip hotel in a cool Austin neighborhood
Planted on Austin's funky, up-and-coming South Congress strip, this
rehabbed 1930s motor lodge is on the northern end of a string of chic
shops, restaurants and bars . . . and not much else. Downtown Austin is
a mile north, about a 15-minute walk across the famously bat-infested
Congress Bridge.
ROOMS: There are only 40 of them, and while the
decor—simple bedding with Indian-print bedspreads; white walls with
tasteful, silk-screened rock 'n' roll poster art; heavy, sliding green
bathroom doors—is consistent throughout, they vary drastically in size
and location. Book a teensy, dorm-style shared bath ($105) and you'll
be sleeping over the lobby, while 420-square-foot courtyard suites
($375) are located on the second story of the courtyard building and
feature high ceilings, sitting areas and private balconies overlooking
the patio. Save for the three shared-bath quarters, all rooms feature a
desk/table crafted from pine, Eames chairs and simple touches like a
single flower in a vase and sturdy, stainless steel hangers.
