Rockbridge and HRI Properties, LLC announced today the opening of Hilton Garden Inn Austin University Capitol District, a 214-room hotel located in the heart of downtown Austin.

Developed by HRI Properties and managed by HRI Lodging, LLC, the vibrant hotel speaks to today's modern traveler with a welcoming lobby that offers several work and lounge areas extending onto an outdoor patio. Additional property features include a ground-level bar and restaurant, second floor breakfast room and meeting space, spacious fitness center with a yoga corner, pet-friendly amenities and an expansive rooftop deck and dual indoor/outdoor meeting and event space with incredible city views. Thanks to its prime location between the Texas Capital Corridor and the University of Texas, the property is just a short walk to all things downtown Austin including city parks, restaurants, bars, and music venues on Austin's famous 6th Street.

Guests will feel a sense of place as soon as they walk through the doors, whether they are visiting for a weekend getaway, business trip, convention or enjoying a local staycation. With interior design led by Studio 11 Design out of Dallas, TX, the hotel's chic aesthetic captures the colorful vibe of Austin, with a fresh color palette, artful lighting, and locally sourced materials. The first level lobby features rich brown leather and earth tones complemented by ample lounge furniture and wood tables that invite guests to linger and laze. Textured wall coverings and curated artwork flow seamlessly throughout the property's public spaces and are a nod to the city's modern, creative spirit and roots as a cattle town. Notable design elements include eccentric furniture and textiles as well as locally inspired and sourced artwork. By cleverly mixing the old with the new, adding subtle references of monumental features and activities found throughout the city, the hotel's design is undoubtedly as unique as the city itself.

Each guestroom features 55" SMART TV with premium cable and streaming, mini refrigerator, microwave, K-cup coffee maker, laptop safe, free Wi-Fi and Hilton Beautyrest Harmony beds. Rooms boast sweeping city views of University of Texas and the state capitol. The unique guestroom décor pays homage to Austin's eclectic live-music scene with artwork made from vintage posters from the Austin City Limits Music Festival and bringing vibrant pops of color.
