• Hotels near Icon Arts Studio:

These are a couple of inns near the studio right along I-35 South

1. Capital Inn, 5656 I-35,  Austin, TX 78751
   (512) 452-1177
2. Super 8 Hotel, 5526 N. I-35, Austin, TX 78751

(512)451-7001

There are also numerous B&B's in the neighborhood.  If you search on the link at the bottom of the page for B&B's and search in the Hyde Park neighborhood you will find many places.  The closest B&B is across the street from my studio and it is called Strickland Arms, (512)454-4426.  They have 2 cats and a miniature poodle in case you don't like pets.  But you can walk over to class across the street.

There are also a couple of vacation homes under the link for "Groups" down below. Also, both of the suites listed under "Groups" are about 4 or 5 miles from the studio but you will need a car and there might be some rush hour traffic which will take you about 30 minutes to get to the studio.  But the one to the North (Stonelake Blvd.) is close to nice places to eat for the evening.
