Despite what the thermometer says, summer in Austin is over. For parents who have spent all of the last season schlepping kids to Six Flags — or singles who spent the hottest months fielding marriage questions at family reunions — that means a little time to enjoy some “me” time during a weekend staycation. From romantic Hill Country retreats to buzzy downtown hotels, here are our top picks for a local getaway.

Inspired by Robert Johnson's history-making stay in Room 414, the Gunter serves as a love letter to San Antonio’s music heritage. Add elegant rooms and suites, refined American fare at Jots, the city’s first Paris Baguette location, and a street-level speakeasy, and you've got more than enough excuses to book a stay.
