The Westin Austin Downtown

Austin, Texas

Virgin rating

The hotel

There’s a reason Austin is named ‘The Live Music Capital of the World’, and staying here you’ll find out why. Just a stones throw from the blues clubs, country bars and food trucks of the Sixth Street Entertainment District, and the legendary live music nightclub Antone’s is directly across the street. The music theme is carried on inside the hotel, with subtle decorations such as the woodwork guitar design behind the front desk, which exemplifies their attention to detail throughout the hotel. The rooftop bar and lounge is a particular highlight, with firepits for those chilly nights, and cabanas to relax poolside with a cocktail in hand, overlooking the Austin skyline. The views are also fantastic from the room, with floor to ceiling windows – and upgrading to a Corner room will make them even more spectacular.

Brennan was my waiter/bartender and he provided me with the best service I've had so far in my short few days here in Austin. He never let my water glass go empty; quickly recognized me putting my card on the table to tab out; and just a friendly person. Thank you Brennan for an incredible brunch and your exemplary service! 😁

Breakfast was amazing and Bri was awesome! Thank you! I got the grilled cheese and it was delicious. The service was high quality and the location was such a good vibe for the bachelorette party we were at! Would definitely recommend coming here

Bri at the restaurant Stella San Jac was our server and took great care of us during our business lunch. Bri was warm and friendly and very attentive…we’re glad we took her recommendation to have the biscuits as an appetizer. Food was delicous and Bri was awesome!

Dee our server was exceptional. Keeping our water full, being attentive. Making the perfect recommendations. We asked for the best old fashioneds and she delivered. Basil Hayden Rye was the drink. Could not be happier if you are in the Westin be sure to ask for Dee.
