“The Royal Sonesta Stephen F Austin's Congress Avenue address puts guests squarely in the heart of the action. Its history whispers from every corner, from the classic lobby to the Roaring Twenties-era building. I especially like the terrace bar, perfect for enjoying Austin's vibrant atmosphere, and found the pet-friendly policy a thoughtful touch for travelers. The AAA Four-Diamond award is clearly well-deserved.”
