Austin Hotels on 6th Street

By Timothy Bodamer

Austin Hotels on 6th Street
Austin, Texas, is home to the state capitol and the University of Texas. But there is also plenty to do in the form of entertainment, shopping, restaurants and nightlife.

Close to Austin city golf courses, Sixth Street gives you proximity to the Austin airport, university and capitol building. The Extended StayAmerica hotel is directly on Sixth Street, while the InterContinental Stephen F. Austin and Driskill hotels are just off Sixth Street, but close to bars and restaurants.

And as you settle in, get your golf clubs out and take a break. One course to take the edge off is the Hancock Course. The par 35 nine-hole course isn't long, but it will give you a chance to work on your short game. Call (512) 835-4311 for more information. Another city-owned course is the Morris-Williams Golf Course. The course features rolling hills and challenging greens. Call (512) 926-1298 for more information.
