I love the simple and modern decor. The rooms were clean, but I travelled with 2 girl friends and it was odd that there was only a shower curtain into the bathroom area(the toilet area had a door). The bars were awesome, as was the gym and pool. Concierge was great and the location very convenient to shopping, dining, and... More

We stayed at the W for three nights on a business trip to Austin. Having read reviews before we booked we knew to expect ultra hip and trendy and a young crowd. This was exactly what we got. Apart from the drawback of this making us feel very old (!) we enjoyed the hotel very much. Great staff. Very comfortable... More

My room was a good size and bathroom was very spacious. Had a great view of downtown from the huge windows! I could enjoy this view while lounging in the most relaxing bed I've ever slept in! The hotel "living room" was comprised of four large, cozy rooms with two bars. Drinks are fantastic here! Staff was more than accommodating... More
