This, paired with outdoor activities, a major university campus, and an eclectic mix of shops, art, venues, and food, makes Austin a very intriguing location. The outstanding combination of places to eat and places to stay downtown, along with renowned attractions and resorts not too far from the city, truly solidifies its place as one of the top hospitality destinations in the U.S.
