Heywood Hotel

Why We Like It:

The Heywood is a small, stylish, boutique hotel hidden away in the hip Eastside of Austin. The house, an original Craftsman bungalow, dates back to 1925 and has been thoughtfully restored and modernized.

With just seven rooms it is cozy and personable, and the staff helpful and friendly. With it being so small, there is a cozy, friendly vibe. Though, for the same reason, there is no breakfast or, beyond snacks, any other meals provided.

Rooms:

The seven bespoke rooms are comfortable and stylish. They differ in some features – some have bathtubs, some have outside space – balcony or patio for example but everything is quality here, across the board, from the original longleaf pinewood floors to handmade beds and Stearns & Foster luxury mattresses.

Mod-cons include a minifridge and minibar, smart, cable TV, white noise machines, Squeezebox Internet jukeboxes with free streaming, iPod/iPhone docks, and ‘digital concierge’ tablets to help guide guests around the local area.

Upon check-in, guests are offered a box of locally hand-crafted chocolates and complimentary beers from a local craft brewer.

Location:

The Heywood is in East Cesar Chavez, East Austin, a newly trendy neighborhood with a hip, independent vibe. You’ll find many food outlets, cafes, bars, and interesting shops within walking distance of the hotel. Downtown Austin is about a mile away.

Some Guest Reviews:

“The room was clean and well furnished. The staff were all extremely friendly and the entire stay was perfect. I would absolutely book the Heywood again…..”

“Loved the complete setup of the hotel. I especially enjoyed the outside patio area. Additionally, the extra treats that were left in the room were a nice surprise! The hotel is conveniently located to walk to the lake area or into the city. The food options around the hotel are excellent – great food truck tacos, barbecue, restaurants, and other delicious options. Most importantly, the hotel staff and owner were extremely accommodating and helpful. The Heywood Hotel is a great place to stay away from the busy downtown area…..”
