Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights in the United States have evolved in recent decades. However, LGBT Americans may still face some legal and many social challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents, particularly in states with large conservative populations, such as in the Deep South; in rural areas; and in some Native American tribal nations.
U.S. federal law does not explicitly include protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. In June 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that sexual orientation and gender identity are included under “sex” as a prohibited ground of employment discrimination in the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The staff was friendly and attentive to any of my needs, everyone from the valet staff to Dillon the desk agent who checked me in was amazing. The location of the hotel cant be beat, it is a 2 minute walk to the bars, clubs and restaurants in downtown Austin which has a little bit of something for everyone (Irish pubs, fancy eateries, gay bars, live music, etc). The room was spotless, bed was comfy, and just generally a great stay.
The hotel is very trendy with modern decor, and has a fun Vegas vibe with music playing throughout. The lobby which is called the Living Room is a fun, comfortable place to hang out and access the internet. Staff regularly asks you if you need anything.
My room was amazing, I didn’t want to leave. Lighting was cool, furnishings were modern, colorful and stylish, bed was fabulous, and had a nice 32 inch or so HDTV. The bathroom was awesome, with a beautiful, sexy (how else to describe it) shower. There is no door in the shower area, so you have to be comfortable with your roommate. Don’t worry the toilet area has a door.
The pool area is definitely a party, people watching area. It is only 3 feet at the deepest, so not much swimming. Its a social pool not a swimming pool. Bar and food is available at the pool.
Easy access to some great restaurants and coffee shops. I thought it was easy walking distance to downtown, the Capitol (although a good walk), the bats, and sixth street bars. Gay nightlife is just a block and half away.
I can’t imagine a better choice when staying in downtown Austin.

2. Austin Motel 3* – Gay Friendly Hotels Austin TX
Austin Motel is 0.9 miles from Austin Convention Center and 1.6 miles from Capitol Building. This motel offers free parking on-site and a swimming pool.
All rooms feature a flat-screen TV, telephone and a desk with chair. Free WiFi is provided.
You will find a 24-hour front desk at the property. On-site laundry facilities are available. Complimentary coffee is offered in the lobby daily for guests to enjoy.
Located south of the Colorado River, this historic, quirky motel dates back to 1938 and is within a 4-minute drive of popular South Congress Avenue and a 6-minute drive from the State Capitol.
Individually decorated single and double rooms include private bathrooms, some with showers only and some with whirlpool tubs. Some suites add a second room and sleep up to 4. All rooms have cable TV.
WiFi is available throughout the grounds. Outdoor amenities include a kidney-shaped swimming pool and free parking.
This hotel will appeal to those who appreciate outlandish, eccentric, with a mix of modern and retro styles (as I did). The handsome narrow stairs to the upper level even have a hint of Spanish colonial. The room and property are kept very tidy and the customer service is very professional. The pool was good for cooling off but not say for exercise. Coffee is available in the main lobby. Joann’s restaurant is right next door and even though I found it a bit pricey for what it is, I did enjoy their breakfast tacos.
I think downtown or downtown adjacent (say, Clarksville) might have a slight edge in walking proximity to sites of interest and amenities but South Congress is quite good. The South Congress location is near ice cream and a number of interesting dining options including the well-known Torchy’s Tacos are within walking distance. Another plus is from the hotel to see the bats emerge from South Congress bridge is also a 10-15 minute walk (I chose a park under the bridge to the right hand side coming from the Austin Motel).
To get to Barton Springs or downtown activities like the Bullock Museum of Texas History, though, South Congress is a bit of a schlep, so Uber is advisable especially in the heat.
