Right across the street from Lady Bird LakeTrail. 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.
A 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.
comfortable 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.
I 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!)
Possibly 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.
Two words: Drunken Doughnuts. These tasty pastries are served with tequila chile fudge sauce, bourbon dulce de leche and vodkawhipped cream. Get them at the on-site restaurant TRACE. Read more
One 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.
Being 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.
W 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.
Went 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$$$$$.
Choose 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.
Petfriendly! 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
The 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!
Parking: Don't be a tool, park one block away for $5 a night/day starting fri-sun. W is $29 a night and that valet shit is for lazy fat bastards ( or those on their way).
Setting the stage for contemporary luxury, W Austin amplifies the city's electrifying eclecticism, headlining the vibrant 2ND Street District in the "Live Music Capital of the World," and pulsating with its spirit of independence and creativity.Ready for showtime?...
