Note The Dillo trolley in the screen grab from the film. However, once inside, they are actually in the Driskill Hotel.Īnd speaking of hotels, the hotel where the pageant participants stay is the Austin Southpark Hotel (formerly an Omni), which looks exactly the same as of January 2022. Regis Hotel restaurant, they are in New York. You can see the old downtown Schlotzsky’s Deli across the street.Īs Gracie and Eric walk to the St. The Starbucks where Gracie races in her patrol car and then cuts the line while flashing her badge is located at the corner of 6th Street and Congress Ave. The Laika Nana restaurant where the sting happens at the beginning of the film is located where TENOAK once operated (and Cuba Libre before that). Yeah, that’s it! These are the Miss Congeniality filming locations in Austin:
Let’s just say I watch it for its use of Texas landmarks. Sounds like a real winner, doesn’t it? I mean, reading that description makes me kind of embarrassed that I like the film. She prides herself in being “just one of the boys” and is horrified at the idea of becoming a girly girl. Unfortunately, Gracie is the only female FBI agent who can “look the part” despite her complete lack of refinement and femininity.

#Laika san antonio movie
If for some very odd reason you are reading this and yet have no idea what the movie Miss Congeniality is about, here’s a synopsis: The Alamo scenes were obviously shot in San Antonio, however, most of the film was shot in Austin – even some of the scenes that were supposed to be set in New York. Now, we’re talking about Miss Congeniality. We already highlighted the filming locations for Hope Floats ( see that post here). And, of course, she filmed two very popular films here. Three of her ex-beau live in the area: Jesse James, Matthew McConaughey and Bob Schneider.
She is one of the owners of Walton’s Fancy and Staple, located on West 6th. We haven’t seen her around town in years (though rumor is she still owns her Lake Austin area home) but she remains connected to Austin.
Sandra Bullock used to spend a lot of time in the ATX.
