The Heart of Austin! Enjoy an Oasis That's Close to Everything
Experience the sights, sounds and tastes of Austin's bustling cultural scene!
The Park Lane Cottages are centrally located, just a few blocks from the hip SoCo pedestrian district, a boulevard that's home to some of the city's coolest shops, restaurants and music venues.
Just a short walk to South Congress Avenue puts you in the heart of the excitement. Shop local and dine in some of the finest eateries Austin has to offer or be bold and try some Food Trailer fare. Listen to live music in a local club or dance under the stars. We are conveniently located in the Texas State Capital, near the Austin Convention Center, Lady Bird Lake hike and bike trails and just 2 miles from the University of Texas, Zilker Park and Barton Springs.
Austin's annual calendar is chock full of events from food to music, dancing to art. SXSW brings thousands of visitors to Austin each March, the Austin Food & Wine Festival delights tastebuds each April, while Fusebox Festival brings contemporary art and performance, and the fall is filled with festivals from ACL (Austin City Limits) to Fun Fun Fun Fest. We are lucky to live in such a thriving cultural destination and welcome visitors experiencing Austin for the first time through one of these events.
