Renaissance Austin Hotel

Austin, Texas

Virgin rating

The hotel

When you first think of Austin, you think of the eclectic live-music scene no doubt, and you’re not wrong. However, if you’re looking for a more relaxed vibe then the Renaissance Austin is an ideal way to explore the cultivated side of the city, with countryside views from your room and an extra bit of peace whilst still being within easy reach of the city centre. Located next to the Arboretum, an upmarket outdoor shopping mall with plenty of restaurants and events on offer, you’ll be able to grab a few bargains without having to worry about carrying your bags miles back to the hotel! The hotel itself features both an outdoor and indoor pool, catering for visits all year round. And if those steps around the mall aren’t enough, the Peloton room is on hand to blow off some steam before you head to the Knotty Deck & Bar to relax on the outdoor patio with a hand crafted cocktail and farm-to-table Texan cuisine.

The check in was great. The unexpected treat was awesome! We had just stayed at the Grand Galvez in Galveston for our anniversary and received nothing, so Thank You! We asked for a room to see the fireworks - our wish was granted. However, the beds were not comfy for our 5 night stay. We did get room serviced, which at other locations is not a Marriott norm so THANK YOU! The service in the restaurant was not on par . We used that almost daily last visit. We could not this time. All the hotel staff were super friendly. Really the only hiccup was we needed a late checkout because our house was in a hurricane with no power and we were told we would be charged for late check out! And I don’t remember being charged for parking staying here in the past. So we moved to another hotel! Read less
