The grounds of Hotel Magdalena are steeped in history from a not-so-distant past—originally home to the 1950s and 1960s hotspot, the Terrace Motor Hotel, a premier mid-century motor lodge boasting over 300 rooms and a poolside restaurant and lounge hosting musical acts. Today we honor our heritage with a host of events and programming that reflect our musical lineage and the easy days of lake life.

From clandestine concerts to visiting chefs, our lawn aims to serve as South Congress’ backyard.

Additionally, at Equipment Room is a private basement hideaway – the old equipment room beneath the Hotel Magdalena on Music Lane. Here you will find an intimate space that houses one of Austin’s most special record collections played on custom vintage hi‑fi equipment. Blending Japanese Jazz Kissa culture with our Texas take, Equipment Room feels like a wholly new, yet very familiar experience.
