7 Rooms
Modern Design & Quiet
One MICHELIN Key · A very special stay
If a hotelier is going to be a little obsessive about keeping things local, it helps to be in a town with as much creative talent as Austin. The Heywood Hotel is certainly handsome enough, with its mid-century Danish armchairs and its warmly lit polished-concrete courtyard. But behind its stylish good looks is a whole village of dynamic, creative locals, from the hotel’s architects and designers to the management and guest services staff to the artists whose works hang on the walls. (The majority of whom, not incidentally, are women, from the ownership on down to the proprietors of the various businesses that supply the hotel.)
As for the accommodations, even at the entry level you’ll find big, sunny rooms with lofted ceilings, HDTVs, designer bath products, and beds whose state-of-the-art mattresses and fluffy down comforters are as dreamy as they come. An upgrade to the Queen Deluxe, housed in the original bungalow, gets you original longleaf pine floors and a twenty-eight-foot ceiling with a skylight. In the King Patio rooms there’s of course a cushy king bed, as well as extra square footage and windows on three sides for plenty of natural light.
No less impressive is the Heywood’s location. While hotels of a similar stripe tend to congregate around South Congress, the Heywood makes its home in East Austin. It’s just a few blocks from the convention center, but perhaps more to the point it’s smack in the middle of a neighborhood full of artists, eccentrics, excellent restaurants and local shops. The hotel will even provide a free bike to ride, so while the ladies and gents at the business hotels are clipping on their name tags in the elevator, you can arrive — or, if you’re here for leisure, just roll on by — in legitimate Austin style.
