Frequently asked questions about Shangri-La
Is the photo booth at Shangri-La still working?
We haven't confirmed it recently. It was listed as running when we added it, but analog booths do go down. Ring the venue first if it's a long trip, and report back either way.
How much is a strip at Shangri-La, and can I pay by card?
$5.00 for a strip. Cash only — bring coins or small notes.
Is Shangri-La a real film photo booth or a digital one?
Real film. It's a B&W. Prints are black-and-white, developed with real chemistry inside the machine, so expect to wait a few minutes for the strip to drop.
Do I need to book, or can I just walk up to Shangri-La?
Just walk up. It's a coin-op booth, not a hire service — no booking, no attendant. If the venue is open, the booth is on.
How many photos do you get at Shangri-La, and how long does it take?
One strip of four shots in black and white for $5.00. The machine takes the four in quick succession, then develops the strip on the spot — usually three to five minutes before it drops into the slot.
What time can I use the booth at Shangri-La?
We don't have the hours yet. It's inside the venue, so go during their normal opening times, and check ahead if you're travelling far.
How do I get to Shangri-La?
It's at 1016 East 6th St, Austin, Texas. Use the map above for transit, walking or driving directions from wherever you are.
Can I get into Shangri-La with a wheelchair or a pram?
We haven't checked access at this venue. Classic booths have a fixed bench and a curtain, so the booth itself is a tight fit; the venue's own access is the thing to ask them about.
What if the booth at Shangri-La is out of order when I get there?
It happens — these machines are decades old. Scroll to "Nearest booths" in Austin for the closest alternative, and tap "Report an issue" so we can flag it for everyone else.
When was Shangri-La last checked?
Feb 26, 2012, by us. If you've been more recently, mark it visited on this page — that's how we keep listings honest.
