Rooftop Views and Downtown Vibes at The Westin Austin Downtown

Modern and upscale with a bold sense of Austin style, The Westin Austin Downtown puts you right in the heart of the city's live music scene. Located just steps from buzzing Sixth Street and a short walk to the Austin Convention Center, this hotel offers sleek rooms, a rooftop pool with skyline views, and a vibrant atmosphere that’s as tuned-in as the city itself.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can stroll to multiple music venues in just minutes—no need for rideshares or parking stress. The rooftop bar is a great pre-show hangout, and after the encore, unwind in a room with soundproofing and blackout curtains. The late 12:00 pm checkout means you can sleep off the encore without rushing. Plus, with a 24-hour front desk and central location, late-night food or transport options are never far away.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking to stay close to the action
- Solo travelers catching a dream gig
- Couples making a music-filled weekend getaway
- Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space (ask for upper-floor rooms)
- Budget-conscious music fans who want to splurge on experience, not on Ubers

Food and Drink Options

Stella San Jac, the on-site restaurant, serves up hearty Southern fare and a popular Friday brunch—perfect for refueling after a late night. Head up to Azul, the rooftop pool bar, for cocktails, light bites, and fire pit vibes. While there's no 24/7 room service, the central location means you’re within walking distance of countless late-night eateries and food trucks.

Nightlife Options

The Westin’s proximity to Sixth Street gives you instant access to live music bars, lounges, and clubs. Prefer to stay in? Azul rooftop bar often hosts a lively crowd and offers sweeping views of the city that pair well with a craft drink.
