Property Description

The Austin Motel opened its doors in 1938 to serve the growing car culture of the time for travelers between here and San Antonio, and its landmark neon sign has been brightening South Congress Avenue ever since. Operating under the mantra “So Close. Yet So Far Out,” the Austin Motel is a beautiful example of classic mid-century roadside motel architecture and an important part of Austin's history.
