3. The Westin Riverwalk: An easy walk or short uber away from the Alamodome, this riverfront hotel is a perfect place to stay when in San Antonio for a show. Disney on Ice has a run there in April and Post Malone has a show with Jelly Roll in May!
4. Colton House Hotel: I actually lived at this boutique hotel (with rooms outfitted with kitchenettes) for more than a month after my house flooded in the freeze of 2021. I still love going back to enjoy the cozy common areas full of velvet-covered furniture and shelves lined with books.

5. Aviator Nation’s UT Gear: Aviator Nation may be a California-inspired brand of distressed hoodies and sweats – but did you know its founder Paige Mykoskie lives in part-time in Austin?
