Fodor's Expert Review AT&T Hotel and Conference Center

Business travelers, conference attendees, and a host of visiting relatives in town for UT graduations and other special events frequent this campus-area hotel. Plush standard rooms feature courtyard, city, or UT Tower views, plus added comforts like flatscreen TVs and pillow-top mattresses. Presidential suites have large balconies with commanding views of the Capitol. There is a heated outdoor pool and 24-hour fitness center, but guests can purchase $10 daily passes to access several UT recreational facilities (all within walking distance), like Gregory Gym and the Texas Swimming Center. On-site dining includes the four-star Carillon Grill, plus a casual sports bar and breakfast café. A courtyard art gallery showcases rotating exhibits of artwork by UT faculty and alumni.
