The Spotlight on W Austin

Luxury Vibes in the Heart of Austin's Music Scene

Modern and effortlessly stylish, W Austin places you in the center of the city’s buzzing 2nd Street District—steps from some of Austin’s most iconic concert venues. With sleek decor, a luxury spa, and a rooftop pool scene that’s as vibrant as the city itself, this 4-star hotel blends comfort, chic design, and downtown energy into one unforgettable stay.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can’t beat the location—a quick stroll gets you to major venues like Moody Theater and the Austin City Limits Live. After the encore, unwind in rooms designed to block out noise, or keep the night going at one of the hotel’s lounge bars. The 24-hour concierge can set you up with late-night eats or next-day brunch spots, and the flexible 12 PM checkout gives you time to sleep in after a big night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish crash pad between shows
  • Solo travelers catching that bucket-list tour stop
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of a concert night
  • Fans who want a calm, upscale space to recover post-show
  • Budget-flexible music lovers wanting a luxe experience close to the action

Food and Drink Options

TRACE Restaurant serves up locally-sourced, gourmet American cuisine perfect for a pre-show dinner or post-show indulgence. The Living Room bar is open late with high-end cocktails in a relaxed, social setting. Craving something at 2 AM? Room service is available 24/7. And yes—breakfast is available for those who need a late start the next morning.

Nightlife Options

Start or end your night right in the hotel’s Living Room lounge, which features three stylish bars and often hosts local DJs. Prefer to explore? You’re a quick walk from 6th Street, Rainey Street, and a cluster of buzzing bars, lounges, and after-hours spots.

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.

Overnight serenity!

Liked: The room was gorgeous and colorful. I loved it. The shower was perfect. The view was incredible!
Disliked: It was pricey. But you get what you pay for. It was our 33rd anniversary so we splurged!

There are better hotels to...

Liked: The room is comfortable and clean. Gym facility is great. The location is very good, easy to walk to most of the restaurants, offices and touristic places.
Disliked: The reception staff. They did not inform me about the ongoing renovations inside and outside the hotel. As a first-time guest, this information would have been helpful in managing my expectations. Additionally, their demeanor seemed unapproachable, with a lack of eye contact and proactivity.One evening, there were two fire trucks outside the hotel. While entering, I inquired with the reception staff about the situation. Unfortunately, they simply responded with "no" and did not show any concern for my safety or attempt to gather further information.I believe a little more attentiveness and proactive communication from the reception staff could significantly enhance the guest experience.

Liked: Location
Disliked: The renovation is beyond. I absolutely would not have booked it if I'd known. The star rating should be reduced to 3 until complete. We left. Did not stay the night.
