W Austin

$329.00 - $1159.00 USD
W Austin is a bonafide icon in the center of the Live Music Capital of the World. We were, after all, the very first luxury lifestyle hotel in Austin, Texas. And now, our latest chapter has arrived after a $40 million renovation: from entirely redesigned guest rooms, which nod to Texas’ natural beauty, to all new dining and drinking options, including our restaurant Serenade and its revamped courtyard, W Austin is a true social hub within the city’s heart. We’re a place where sounds float through the air, tastes of refined Texan smoke and French flavors fill our plates, and social electricity flourishes over morning coffees at 2nd and Roast and nightcaps at Blue Room. We’re a haven for rest and relaxation, too – just grab a chaise at our rooftop WET Deck, signature massage at AWAY Spa, or head out for a jog along Lady Bird Lake. Welcome to the all-new W Austin: Beyond the Limits.
