A stylish IHG boutique hotel celebrating Austin's music heritage with unique decor, a rooftop pool, and on-site bar. Near the Domain shopping center and convenient to major attractions.
Hotel Indigo Austin is an IHG boutique-tier property located at 150 East Highland Mall Boulevard in the Highland neighborhood of north Austin, approximately 5 miles north of downtown. The property is situated in the redeveloped Highland Mall corridor, a former suburban shopping center transformed into a mixed-use urban campus anchored by Austin Community College, providing a lively and walkable neighborhood environment that surprises guests who expect a conventional suburban hotel setting. The hotel's design concept celebrates Austin's storied live-music identity. Guestrooms feature bold music-themed graphics, custom album cover artwork, photographs of local musicians, and warm terracotta and navy color palettes that reference Austin's Hill Country and honky-tonk traditions. The 177 guestrooms are mid-size with modern bath fittings and the Indigo brand's boutique-quality amenity standard. An outdoor rooftop pool offers views of the north Austin skyline and functions as a social hub during warm-weather months. The on-site bar and restaurant serve Texas-inspired cuisine and craft cocktails throughout the day, with an evening program that leans into the hotel's music-themed design. Capital Metro's Highland Station on the MetroRail Red Line is a short walk from the hotel, providing a direct connection to downtown Austin's Union Station and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport — a genuine convenience for guests without a car or those wanting to avoid downtown parking. The Domain, Austin's premium open-air shopping and entertainment district, is approximately 2 miles north by rideshare. The hotel is well-positioned for visitors attending events at the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park, corporate travelers based in north Austin's tech corridor near the Domain, or guests exploring the city's north-side neighborhoods. The fitness center is well-equipped by mid-range hotel standards and operates with extended hours for early-morning and late-evening guests.
