Les meilleurs hôtels à Austin

Austin is the capital of Texas and home to the University of Texas. It’s also a major center for liberal thinking and live music, where “Keep Austin Weird” has gone from bumper sticker to battle cry. It’s this mix of traditional and progressive impulses that makes Austin such a dynamic city. Be sure to visit the 1888 Texas Capitol building and the extensive trail system linking parks and lakes throughout the city. Then check out Austin’s bars and music halls -- particularly during the South By Southwest festival in March -- to experience the city’s youthful spirit. Downtown’s 6th Street and the Warehouse District offer a rowdy mix of live music clubs that are springboards for up-and-coming bands.
A breeding ground for live music, independent film, and funky fashion, Austin is famous for the annual festivals South by Southwest (SXSW) in March and Austin City Limits in October. These events draw the East and West Coast contingents, while Texans from across the state gather in Austin during football season to cheer on the University of Texas "Longhorns." Situated in the up-and-coming Hill Country wine region, Austin boasts an eclectic food scene, specializing in barbecue, Tex-Mex, and New Southwest, with a focus on farm-to-table ingredients. Twenty miles of hiking/biking trails go through and around downtown, including ten miles around Lady Bird Lake. In the heart of downtown, historic landmarks and imposing office buildings mix with a vibrant, youthful nightlife scene there seems to be three bars or clubs on every compact block.
