What People Say

Guests rave about the cool, modern design, the incredible location near music venues, and the friendly, attentive staff. The rooftop pool is a favorite, and many say it’s the perfect place to relax between shows. The rooms are praised for their comfort and soundproofing.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a budget stay—some guests mention prices can spike during major events. Parking is valet-only and on the pricey side, but that’s expected for a downtown location. If you're looking for quiet, request a room away from the pool and bar areas.

The Bottom Line

W Austin offers music lovers a high-style stay just steps from the heart of Austin’s live music scene—perfect for turning a concert night into a full downtown experience.
