4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Austin

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Austin is during January, August, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For an enriching experience of the city’s key landmarks, cultural heritage, and vibrant arts scene, it is advisable to stay for at least 2 to 3 days. This budget-friendly duration allows you to enjoy live music, engaging theatre performances, diverse festivals, and the lively atmosphere of local bars. With the possibility that prices may drop during these months, Austin offers great value for money for those seeking to explore its rich history and dynamic culture.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals on accommodation in Austin, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you take advantage of potential savings on cheap hotels. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a handy comparison tool available in the app that allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to see the best hotel deals and secure your ideal stay.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates might help you secure savings on your stay in an Austin hotel. For those in search of distinctive experiences, boutique hotels can provide a more tailored experience and, on occasion, better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could offer more affordable options, increasing the likelihood that you'll save.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive, but with Austin's superb public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located a bit further out that remains well-connected. For those wishing to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations can provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
