InterContinental Stephen F. Austin
Classic modern ($$)
Built in 1924, the Stephen F. Austin was the city’s first high rise.
After some ups and downs, InterContinental Hotels stepped in to restore and refresh the “Stephen F,” which opened its doors again in 2000 and has been charming guests since.
In general, the standard rooms tend to be small, though tasteful décor keeps them from feeling cramped.
The hotel’s age also means different floor plans and different levels of service and amenities, so inquire about specifics.
