Book from $85

Originally opened on May 19th, 1924 as "The Texan", at 10 stories high it was the tallest building in Austin at the time. Due to its stately nature, local activists immediately lobbied to memorialize beloved statesman and Father of Texas successfully changing the name of the hotel to "The Stephen F. Austin."
Over the years the hotel has been a local hangout for politicians, served as campaign headquarters for multiple governors, and has been graced by the presence of many celebrities. We may no longer be the tallest building in Austin but we have not lost any of our classic charm or signature character.

Discover the perfect blend of Austin's storied charm and modern elegance at the award-winning, AAA Four-Diamond rated Stephen F. Austin Royal Sonesta Hotel. Nestled in the heart of downtown, our historic hotel offers unmatched proximity to Austin's top attractions, including the iconic Paramount Theatre, just steps away. Explore the vibrant energy of Sixth Street and Rainey Street or visit the Texas Capitol and The University of Texas nearby.

Unwind in our beautifully appointed rooms and suites where Texas hospitality shines. Savor elevated dining experiences and enjoy a drink at Stephen F's Bar & Terrace—the only outdoor terrace on Congress Avenue. Stay active in our state-of-the-art fitness center, featuring Peloton bikes, or host a memorable meeting or wedding in our 6,000 square feet of event space, accommodating up to 400 guests.
Long Live the Guest at the Royal Sonesta.
