When you’re part of Boots on Forty, you’re part of something special:
Our club was founded at the Hampton Inn & Home2 Suites Austin East 5th Street — our home base and go-to gathering spot. Just minutes from campus and right in the heart of East Austin, we’re surrounded by some of the city’s best restaurants, live music venues, local breweries, and vibrant street art. It’s the perfect launchpad for campus visits, game day weekends, or simply soaking up the energy of the neighborhood we proudly call home.
From booking your stay to keeping up with what’s happening on and off campus, our app puts everything you need right at your fingertips. Make reservations, check out upcoming events, get insider recs, and stay connected to the club — all from your phone. It’s like having a little bit of the Forty in your pocket.

Boot Symbolism
Nothing says Texas like a good pair of boots. In our logo — and in our hearts — boots represent resilience, strength, and the spirit of adventure. The boot also ties directly to the bold mural painted on the exterior of the Hampton Inn & Home2 Suites Austin East 5th Street, reinforcing our connection to East Austin’s creative community and culture.
Floral Elements
You’ll notice flowers in our logo too. Those blooms symbolize growth, connection, and unmistakable Texas charm — reflecting the welcoming, lively nature of our club and the personal journeys of every family in our community.
