Who We Are:

Hotel San José is a 40-room urban bungalow-style hotel tucked behind stucco walls and set amidst lush garden courtyards on South Congress. Now a gathering place and hub of community activity for locals and visitors alike, our legacy began long before now, in the 1930s, when the San José was a vibrant motor court on South Congress Avenue. But as Austin changed, the motel fell into disrepair. Thankfully, in 1994, the keen eye of Liz Lambert saw something more than low-rent lodging while spending time across the street at the Continental Club. After a long road, the way was found to our modern iteration of a hidden oasis right in the heart of South Congress.

The historic Austin Motel sits just south of the Colorado River and Downtown, in view of the State Capitol and walking distance to the famous bat bridge. Part of the beloved South Congress neighborhood, the motel is surrounded by some of the city’s most interesting dining, nightlife and shopping, with easy access to bus lines and Austin’s lovely hike and bike trail that connects to Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool and the Barton Creek greenbelt.
