Hotel Indigo Austin Downtown - University By Ihg - A Downtown Austin Hotel with Rooftop Pool, Live Music Access, and Cultural District Location

Located in the Red River Cultural District, this 3-star Austin hotel features 134 rooms with premium bedding and laptop-friendly workspaces. Hotel Indigo's accommodations include flat-screen TVs with streaming services, coffee makers, and private bathrooms with walk-in showers. The property maintains an outdoor pool heated to 80 degrees year-round, alongside a fully-equipped fitness center and the Ladybird Kitchen + Bar serving American cuisine. Business travelers have access to meeting spaces, including the One Knite room with French doors leading to the pool area. The Indigo provides direct access to 6th Street's live music venues and the Congress Avenue Bridge, known for its 1.5 million bat colony emerging nightly from March to October. The hotel sits within walking distance of O Henry Museum and Wild About Music, both 0.5 miles away.

Pros

Heated outdoor pool with downtown skyline views

Pet-friendly policy allows dogs up to 40 pounds

Meeting spaces feature natural light and pool deck access

Front-row access to Austin's live music district

Cons

Valet-only parking at $40 per day

No airport shuttle service available

“I think this property stands out for its rooftop bar, where the panoramic views complement the boutique ambiance, not a typical chain experience. The integration of local flavors in the renovated restaurant adds a unique touch; plus, its central location means major cultural sites are easily accessible. While there's room for improvement in some areas, its location near live music and modern amenities create a balanced experience.”
