There’s one smoky reason to stay at these East Eleventh suites: Franklin’s Barbeque. If you already know, then you’ve already booked the room. To the uninitiated, Franklin’s is the spot for barbeque, rivaling every other joint in the country. Obviously, you’ll wait in a queue, but that’s a fair tradeoff for amazing barbeque. When you get back to your suite with the meat sweats, you’ll be thankful for the outdoor pool, cool air conditioning and breezy balcony.

The full kitchens in these East 5th Street suites are quite convenient – pity that you won’t use them much. Any Austinites will tell you that 6th Street has any and every kind of food you could want. These suites come in clutch with their calorie-burning fitness center and their laundry facilities that are well-versed in removing a buffet of stains from bibless shirts. The free wifi comes in handy, too, when you’re ready to be the envy of your followers.

Downtown Austin is absolutely amazing, but these suites near the Domain will prove that North Austin is a worthy destination in its own right. Across the street from hours of retail therapy and the great outdoors, you’ll roll out of your deluxe suite and into your afternoon plans in no time. The apartment pool and suite’s flat-screen TVs do provide entertainment, but the Typhoon Texas Waterpark a few more miles (kilometers) north is overflowing with fun.

Dry off on the walk back to your suite, throw your clothes in the washer and dryer, then step right into Austin’s busy shopping district.

Though downtown is no farther than a few minutes across the Congress Avenue Bridge, you’ll likely stay close to your studio suite. The live music at Butler Metro Park, the great restaurants lining South Congress Avenue and the amazing downtown vistas from the river will convince you to spend a few more days in your one-bedroom suite.
