Heywood Hotel
East Austin hideaway ($$)
The Heywood Hotel is an oasis of calm along a busy stretch of East César Chávez in the heart of East Austin.
A bungalow from the outside and an expansive boutique hotel on the inside, the ambiance at the Heywood strikes a nice balance between contemporary design and the charm of a B&B.
The outdoor patio is a distinct draw, as is the proximity to East Austin eateries.
