InterContinental Stephen F. Austin ReviewBuilt in 1924 to compete with the Driskill , the Stephen F. Austin was another favorite spot for state legislators, as well as celebrities like Babe Ruth and Frank Sinatra. It reopened in 2000 as an InterContinental property after years of sitting abandoned. Most of its clientele are business travelers, and the InterContinental offers lots of amenities aimed at this market. The public areas are elegant and retro, if not nearly as grand as at the Driskill. The guest rooms are simply furnished but comfortable. Reserve a deluxe room as the standards are small. Corner suites are large and not much more pricey than deluxe rooms. Two other assets: Stephen F's Bar and Terrace, with great views of Congress Avenue and the capitol, and the Roaring Fork restaurant. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip. Related Features Deals & News

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
