Welcome to Austin!

Music. Food. Art. Something for everyone awaits you in Austin.

For those civic center aficionados, the State Capitol complex is a short distance from the Sheraton. Holding true to the saying "everything is bigger in Texas," the capitol is 14 feet higher than the US Capital building.

Reserve some free time to visit the Texas Music Museum, just a short walk from the Sheraton. From Texans Scott Joplin and Janice Joplin to Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly, check out information on these and many more pioneers of the music industry.  Or, if you're looking for something a bit more interesting, check out the Museum of the Weird, open until midnight - weather permitting.

Catch some live music in the Red River Cultural District and try Texas Bar-B-Q at Stubbs on Red River Street.  Maybe try sipping an Old Fashioned or Southern Belle on a patio at Moonshine Grill while you wait for your Fried Green Tomatoes and Southern Grit Cakes. Or cruise down the Colorado River on a riverboat. Or go "batty" viewing Austin's nocturnal residents at the Congress Avenue Bridge.  Austin is a treasure trove of things to eat, do, and see - all just steps from the hotel!
