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.

We had breakfast at Stella before we had to fly out. Jillian was our server and she was kind and efficient! The biscuits with honey butter are a must have. Another great starter is the barata bruschetta. We’d definitely come back for any meal.

Our lunch at Stella San Jac was a last minute reservation, but one we're glad we made. Bri did a wonderful job serving us for our meal at Stella - her recommendation for the bruschetta was our favorite item of the whole experience and her service was top notch. Made for a great overall experience and time!
