The hotel

Stay in the heart of it all at the W Austin, as unique, fun, and welcoming as the city itself. Conveniently situated in Downtown Austin, and just moments from the world-famous Austin City Limits, this hotel expertly blends modern decor with cosy touches, and plenty of southern charm! In the local area, you'll find an abundance of lively bars and eateries, but you can feel the buzz of the 'Live Music Capital of the World' right here in your hotel, too - the Record Room, part of the hotels dynamic Living Room bar area, is an ode to the city, and the TRACE restaurant serves authentic Texan flavour, made with local produce. What's more, the W is home to Austin's largest happy hour, accompanied by the sounds of DJs, and the occasional live performance. Fitness fanatics can keep up their routines at FIT, and sun-seekers can enjoy the heat at the WET deck. A true all-rounder, and an exciting place to lay your hat.

Lovely stay for the weekend! The rooms and bathrooms were really lovely--clean and modern. The hotel pool was a great spot to hang out. The hotel's location is close to a lot of things downtown. I would gladly recommend this hotel for your next trip to Austin!

Had an amazing stay here. Made good use of the roof top pool, the service pool side was great. I had an amazing suite and my room details were communicated to me well before my arrival. Always made to feel very welcome here every time I have stayed. Breakfast was good as well. Looking forward to my next visit when the renovations are complete.

I called to confirm the construction was complete and was told it was. Sadly it was not and the noise was ridiculous; drilling, hammers, shouting. Trip was not ideal.

I booked the stay at W Austin with full knowledge of construction happening at the moment but never expected my stay to be so bad! The construction took out pretty much all dining options and every restaurant/coffee shop is consolidated into one on 2nd floor. The choices on the menu are very limited and even then, they do not make food that is on the menu! There are 4-5 items for the breakfast and chef had to come out twice to apologize for lack of cooking ingredients (I am not kidding). I tried in-room dining late evening - it was overpriced and the food was dry and un-savory. There are limited places you can go in the hotel (spa, pool, gym) and all are understaffed and poorly maintained. To be fair, front desk staff was very helpful and upgraded the room upon request. I personally would advise to stay away from W Austin and book somewhere else (I stayed at Fairmont two years ago which is similarly priced, same neighborhood but way more upscale and better value for money spent).

Anybody booking right now should know there is no lobby, nobody helping with bags from the huge construction zone in the street… you enter through a weird setup through a bunch of dark hallways until you get to the makeshift checkin area.

Anybody booking right now should know there is no lobby, nobody helping with bags from the huge construction zone in the street… you enter through a weird setup through a bunch of dark hallways until you get to the makeshift checkin area. The room upgrade (for those of you expecting one based on Marriott status) is to something that is definitely NOT spectacular as it is called and generally the initial experience is staff that are unfriendly, probably because people like me are so shocked at the mess when they check in. None of this is described on website or when you book in a way that would convey how truly “under construction” they are… Read less
