Cheap Hotels Near Lady Bird Lake Austin — Real Prices
Lady Bird Lake is a reservoir on the Colorado River in the heart of Austin, beloved for its 10-mile hike-and-bike trail, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The Congress Avenue Bridge over the lake hosts the world's largest urban bat colony, with nightly summer flights.
Budget tip: Hotels with lake views or trail access charge a premium of $30-50/night over comparable rooms just a few blocks away. The trick is staying in south Austin or east Austin where you can still walk to the trail without paying the 'waterfront tax' that downtown hotels bake into their rates.
