Bottom Line

W Austin is a luxury hotel located in the heart of Austin's 2nd Street District, close to sights, shopping, and entertainment. The hotel's 251 rooms are housed on the first 16 floors of a mixed hotel-and-condo tower, and a minimalist design throughout incorporates elements of Southwestern decor. Rooms are average in size, comfortably stylish, and feature modern amenities, like flat-screen TVs, minibars, and espresso machines. The hotel's Living Room bar areas and rooftop pool are popular gathering spots for Austinites, and the on-site restaurant, Trace, is one of the city's culinary hot spots. This is the trendiest hotel in the Downtown area, but travelers in search for a more traditional stay might prefer the beautifully restored 1886 The Driskill Hotel, though there is no pool there.
