Introducing Austin

Austin has a rhythm all its own. Know as the live music capital of the world, Austin is home to nearly 200 live music venues and numerous entertainment districts, including the famous Sixth Street. You will find Austin’s cuisine ranges from the down-home to the eclectic. A stroll around the Capital area reveals the historic architecture of the Capital Visitor Center, the elegant Governor’s Mansion and the grand façade of the Lorenzo de Zavala State Archives and Library building. Austin offers a safe and walkable downtown with free wireless internet.

Just steps from the Hilton Austin, you will find three of the most popular entertainment districts.

Sixth Street

Sixth St., from Congress to IH-35

While most of the buildings date to the turn of the century, the street now lies at Austin’s epicenter of live music and entertainment. With nearly 50 clubs and live music venues, Sixth Street boasts an international reputation for fun.

Warehouse District

Congress Ave. west to Nueces St.; Cesar Chavez St. north to Seventh St.

Upscale and trendy with a refined industrial character, this renovated entertainment district attracts a hip and artistic crowd.

Live music is a big part of life in the Warehouse District with shows almost every night of the week.
