Which nights should you book for To Have and to Hold?
Since the performance is on a single evening — Friday, 23 October 2026 — most attendees will only need to book for one night: the night of the show. If you plan to have dinner before the performance and enjoy a relaxed walk back afterwards, booking for that single night is sufficient. Matinees are not scheduled for this date, so no afternoon show affects your stay.
How do you get to Long Center for the Performing Arts?
All listed hotels are within a 10-minute walk of the Long Center for the Performing Arts. The closest options — Stay Alfred 422 at The Lake (4 min walk) and Sonder at The Catherine (5 min walk) — offer the most direct access. Ride-share drop-off is available near the venue’s main entrance, and there is a train station within the precinct, though services thin out late — check the last departure before you go. Buses serve the area, but walking is the most reliable option given the short distances.
Where do you eat and drink after the show?
After the show ends, you’ll be steps away from South Congress Avenue and Barton Springs Road, both lined with casual and upscale restaurants, bars, and cafés. Many venues stay open late, especially on Friday nights, making it easy to continue the evening nearby.
