As frequent travelers, the value of a cool hotel is not lost on us.

Boutique hotels are our favorite, and Austin has recently welcomed a new kid on the block–Heywood Hotel. Situated in an “upcycled” bungalow in East Austin, Heywood features seven guest rooms–total. Each room is different, and the overall feeling is modern-meets-retro.

The Heywood is surrounded by local restos, lounges and shops and is within walking distance of downtown, 6th Street, the convention center and Lady Bird Lake. But if you don’t feel like walking, you can always use one of the hotel’s complimentary bicycles that are included in every room. How very Austin.
