Wayne SurberJanuary 5, 2013Right across the street from Lady Bird Lake Trail. Terrific run/walk. Ask for a map at the front desk. Many distance options. Comparable to running at the Charles in Boston/Cambridge without the wind.
Kevin BMay 13, 2013comfortable beds, love the rooms and can walk to everything DT very easily. The staff was awesome too. Check out 2nd Street Kitchen, Moonshine or Amy's ice cream for those who have never been to ATX.
AFAR MediaFebruary 11, 2015A rooftop apiary provides honey for the sleek farm-to-table restaurant, TRACE, downstairs, which also has its own forager. Don’t miss brunch on the patio on Sundays, complete with live jazz. Read more
More hotels should have this multi mobile device charging station. Although one of the drawbacks is that you'll need to keep up with new connectors like the new one for iPhone 5 & iPad 4 and beyond.
ºDamian White ºNovember 29, 2012I wanted some fruit. They said choose anything. I felt like a king. And THEN they gave me the best presentation ever! (The mmmpanadas were delish too!)
One of the best and romantic bars in Austin. It goes on forever, many nooks and hidden areas to share a quiet moment with your mate.
Tim MillsNovember 24, 2012Possibly the best hotel experience ever. They were so wonderful to our dogs and the staff was so friendly. I don't give complements easily but they really went above and beyond.
Chris GampatNovember 23, 2016Pretty much in the heart of everything. Lots of good bars and restaurants around.
Daniel BarnettJanuary 18, 2015One of the cooler Ws I've seen. Trace has great burgers for you're looking for a quick bite, need an old fashioned, and can find the entrance...
Complimentary show shine and they'll bring a coffee maker to your room if you ask. Roof deck by pool is amazing for lunch or just relaxing.
Carmine GalloJanuary 4, 2012W offers great rooms and one of the best audio-video systems I've seen in a long time. Conference rooms have powerful Bose speakers. Enjoyable place to deliver presentations.
Ricardo GuerreroMay 25, 2013Try the Gazpacho Three Ways - So hungry nearly forgot to take a pic - 1 is #creamy, 1's #spicy, 1's #herbaceous. Can you tell which is which?
Austin American-StatesmanFebruary 27, 2012One of Austin’s newest hotels is located on the trendy 2nd Street District. The W is also the home to the “Austin City Limits” studio, which hosts concerts as well as the TV show tapings year-round.
Fatma GencAugust 23, 2015Great hotel but seems a little bit behind its other brothers and sister in all public spaces. Or has it changed already?
Coffee by 10am. Record room is cool! Get workout in and if warm, pool is good. Trace for lunch, good but not cheap. I like this W...
Dachis GroupSeptember 21, 2011Being the location of the 2011 Social Business Summit, we can say that the conference services and food & beverage are top notch. Check out the 2nd story deck when the weather is mild.- Ricardo GuerreroNovember 11, 2012Try the Shrimp and Grits - #Nom! Shrimp is perfectly cooked. Grits are #creamy & a bit #salty. Great #balance. + gluten-free!
TglPtrn MarioNovember 8, 2014The bar at the lobby is huge. A lot of rooms and each one with a bar. The bathrooms are mixed. Nice place.
Chele RocksJanuary 13, 2017Very well located & a Nespresso machine in every comfortable room. Plus, bedside charging stations.
Mikey ChangAugust 26, 2014Hotel gym is LEGIT. They have a full squat rack. If you're a gymrat and hoteler, you know how rare that is.- Ricardo GuerreroJune 22, 2013Try the Market (Egg White) Omelette with Arugula Salad - Nice, light balance of #veggies & local goat #cheese.
FoundersCardJune 28, 2013Be sure to check the Austin City Limits schedule when you book here. Music lovers will appreciate that it is attached to the hotel.
JennNovember 19, 2011Went there during the summer I enjoyed the saline pool over the standard chloride pools in most hotels. and the refreshing cucumber and lime water poolside. Very bright place, pricey$$$$$.
jon accarrinoJuly 30, 2011Pet friendly! Pet welcome kit includes toys, treats, dog bed, turn-down service and more. However, guests with pets will have to cough up an additional $25 per night and a $100 "cleaning fee." Read more- 3X the points if you choose to go from automatic room maintenance to "green" and have cleaning by request only.
Matthew SpectorApril 4, 2015Still a hangout for SXSW goers and Austinites who like to hang out in luxe environs.- Austin 360March 29, 2012Choose your adventure at this multi-venue establishment. The casual Living Room Bar, the swanky "hidden" bar, or the modern elegance Trace Restaurant bar provide plenty of options.
Must have the Texas sticky toffee pudding dessert from room service. Order a fruit plate to go with it.
Rick VillarsMay 5, 2011The W needs to update it's video service. The digital feeds for about 5 stations (including ESPN and Fox) don't work. BTW: some of us now bring our own video. Open up the TV ports please!
Raj S.December 27, 2012Fun hotel lobby bar. Way more people than I originally thought would show up, and a well dressed crowd.
If you wanna pool party pass, bring me a pint of Amy's ice cream
David J. NeffJuly 9, 2013Always look for @realaustin @jenneraustin and @lizziecamp while you are here.
Amazing food and cocktails. Great place to meet new people after 9 most nights!
Condé Nast TravelerApril 12, 2011Book the mid-priced Fabulous Rooms, with wraparound windows that showcase the pride of Austin—Lady Bird Lake.
- They won't valet your motorcycle, but they will find you a great spot to park it.
Song LiMarch 23, 2015I checked the lounge and lobby and found the decoration too raw/industrial, not my favorite W.
Be sure to make reservations with the Acura Experience desk to drive you to the great South Congress shops and eats!
Great hotel and pool. Get a sandwich from Which Wich across the street, good stuff
Believe or not, but the W Hotel has the best late night room service burgers.
Pool has a Vegas vibe. Perfect spot for some day drinking!![Evan[Bu]](https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/user/32x32/1718914-0E4PXEUXZ2KFIAR4.jpg "Evan[Bu]")
Evan[Bu]July 4, 2011Don't lean up next to the window in your room, otherwise you and the pavement on the first floor could become BFF!
Matt LevineMarch 3, 2011Great location! The gym is sick, it has an amazing view. Everything is new and who doesn't like new?
