Treehouse-style stays off South Congress

Hotel Magdalena keeps things easy with a walkable Music Lane address just off South Congress, plus views toward Downtown Austin and the Texas State Capitol. The vibe is casual and outdoorsy, with a 1970s Texas lake-house design and elevated exterior walkways that thread through heritage live oaks for that “up in the trees” feel. A sun-drenched lawn on a deck above the street adds a quietly tucked-away place to linger.

  • South Congress at the doorstep

    Walk to nearby boutique shops, local restaurants, and music venues.

  • Dining with a lake-house vibe

    A full-service restaurant built around wood-fired cooking and seasonal plates.

  • Vinyl listening bar hideaway

    A moody basement kissa-style spot with a 1,200-LP library and hi-fi sound.

Amenities

  • Guest-only sunken pool for sunny lounging
  • Poolside bar for cocktails and light bites
  • Incense-scented lobby with a Song Confessional booth
  • Le Labo SANTAL 33 bath amenities
  • Dog-friendly stays with a dedicated Dog Menu
  • Complimentary bikes for South Congress or Lady Bird Lake
