Hotel Magdalena sits on a 14-acre stretch off South Congress in Austin's Music Lane neighborhood, 8 miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The property overlooks downtown and the Capitol, surrounded by native Texas species like Bigtooth Maples and Yaupon Holly. Nearby attractions include the SoCo District, just 0.3 miles away, and Auditorium Shores at Town Lake Metropolitan Park, 0.6 miles from the hotel.

Treehouse-Inspired Rooms

The 89-room Hotel Magdalena features four new but distinct buildings connected by exposed elevated walkways and courtyards, creating a treehouse feel. Rooms include Santa & Cole lamps, Spanish tile in four colorways, and partially open bathrooms with rainfall showerheads. Some units offer balconies with garden views.

Seasonal Dining & Drinks

Summer House on Music Lane serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with seasonal dishes from a live-fire grill. The Magdalena Bar offers frozen cocktails like the Poolside Piña Colada and an eight-seat intimate bar. The seventy covered outdoor patio seats pair best with ice-cold martinis.

Poolside Events & Music

The 4-star Hotel Magdalena includes an outdoor pool and hosts monthly Surf Rock Sessions with vinyl music. Guests can attend High Tea with CBD-infused beverages or al fresco live music on Fridays. The property spans five city blocks, once owned by musician Willie Nelson.

Personalized Guest Services

Hotel Magdalena provides in-room cocktail service and complimentary Wi-Fi across the property. The lobby shop sells fragrances matching the hotel's scent, and concierge services assist with local arrangements. Private parking is available on-site.

“This property stands out with its 1970s lake house-inspired design and location in the heart of South Austin. The outdoor bar and live-fire grill contribute to a vibrant, social atmosphere. I particularly appreciate the engaging programming and the commitment to showcasing Texas's natural beauty.”
