Austin South Park Hotel

We’re thrilled to announce that the Austin Southpark Hotel will be the official home of the 2026 Lone Star Festival! Recently acquired by Hilton, this exceptional venue is embarking on a comprehensive renovation, featuring major updates to guest rooms and enhancements throughout the entire property—ensuring a fresh, modern experience for all attendees.

With a rich history of hosting the Armadillo Book Festival, Austin Southpark brings invaluable expertise in supporting vibrant literary events like ours. Their dedication to festival hospitality makes them the perfect partner for Lone Star Festival.

We’ve secured a special room block with rates starting at just $119 per night, plus taxes. Authors are encouraged to share rooms to make the most of this great opportunity. The booking link will be available here after September 1st.
