Our take
Aloft by Marriott Austin Downtown earns a 9.2 guest score with a lively, modern formula: a rooftop bar, a restaurant and a 24-hour gym. I would book it for a Longhorns weekend when the evenings in downtown Austin matter as much as the game, with public transport nearby for the University of Texas campus. Parking is paid, so I would leave the car behind if possible.
- Utilize the nearby public transport stop at 115 7th/Colorado for easy stadium access on game days.
- Head to the rooftop bar before the game for a lively atmosphere and city views.
- If you're driving, be aware of the paid parking and consider public transport for stadium trips to avoid game-day traffic.
Why we love it
- Lively rooftop bar for pre-game drinks
- Excellent public transport links nearby
- Pet-friendly for traveling companions
- Downtown location with dining options
Why guests love itAloft by Marriott Austin Downtown is a contemporary 3-star hotel I would suggest to families coming for a Longhorns game at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium who also want downtown Austin on the doorstep. Rooms are air-conditioned, Wi-Fi is free and the restaurant keeps meals simple. Parents can use the 24-hour gym, and pets are welcome. Public transport is nearby for the trip north to the campus, and parking is paid. Guests rate it 9.2 across more than 2,700 reviews.
