OnCongress is a 3,000 sq. ft. luxury loft and event space in the heart of Austin's business and entertainment district. Located on historic Congress Avenue with a stunning view of the Texas State Capitol and the Paramount Theatre, this urban loft is the ideal location for executive stays or attending any of Austin's year-round events including Austin City Limits, the Austin Film Festival, SXSW, Formula One and UT football. Whether you're staying for a festival, off-site business retreat, or a weekend get-away, we've provided every comfort of home... plus a few special extras. Winner of the 2004 AIA Award for Excellence in Design, 706 Congress Ave. was meticulously restored to its original facade with a large balcony directly across from the Paramount Theater, overlooking Congress Avenue all the way to the Capitol. The owners, long-time Austinites and former gallery owners, designed a modern interior including reclaimed wood floors throughout, open staircases, poured concrete counter-tops, a unique split-level layout, and high-end furnishings and artwork. OnCongress is purpose-built as a luxury rental property with amenities such as a full chef's kitchen, living room and lounge, full-size washer/ dryer, and free WiFi. The downstairs game room includes a large screen TV with Xbox, custom-built steel pool table and shuffle board table.

Central Location
The property was a great home base for a long football weekend with friends in Austin. It's central location made experiencing Austin very easy. The place itself is very open and a great place for a group to gather.
Great place for a weekend stay in downtown Austin.
The property was just what we were looking for. A great location with wonderful amenities.
Outstanding space and location
Outstanding space and customer service
Great location..great for entertaining!
We had 7 guys down for a bachelor party and the loft was perfect. The bottom level with the pool table and flat screen gave us a great place to hang out before hitting the night life. Walking distance to 6th street and great restaurants. Parking is limited but there is a hotel parking garage directly across 7th street from the rear of the loft that was convenient since we had 3 vehicles. Great stay and plan on making it back next year
Great location! Stylish loft living!
This place was absolutely amazing for my family!
We have a 2 year old and 7 year old and so having a designated parking space and being central in location was perfect for getting around. My kids had plenty of space to run around, and we all loved the layout. We spent our mornings people watching on the patio after getting Starbucks just right down the street. At night, my toddler fell right asleep with the white noise machine provided. We were also able to get a pack n' play delivered by Key Concierge-- which was wonderful. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was great. There is a grocery store across the street which was convenient. My husband and I also had a date night across the street at a wonderful steak house called The Roaring Fork.
The one thing I would say is that the main level bathroom is quite small and there in no tub.
Overall, a wonderful experience was had by all, and we would love to stay here again!
Beautiful space in an incredible location!
706 Congress is absolutely beautiful. I stayed there with my fiance, leading up to our wedding day. The space is flexible to host impressive gatherings (we hosted a lunch), relax on the patio, and enjoy shooting pool or playing shuffleboard.
The location couldn't have been better. Right in the middle of downtown with direct access to South Congress (just across the bridge) and up towards Zilker Park.
