Everything was wonderful and especially liked Suzanne at the front desk, very friendly and professional. Matter a fact I thought she was the manager and turns out she is not. She should be. Everyone was delightful, the food and cocktails were delicious. Loved everything about it. Will definitely be back.
High end hotel. Beautiful. Great staff and service. Very comfortable. Great amenities.

Clean room, great staff. Only downside was the listing advertised a safe in the room, but we had none, yet other guests also attending the same wedding had safes in their rooms.
Excellent staff, room was very clean. I left my new IPhone on the table Saturday morning in the Serenade restaurant after having a delicious breakfast with my wife. Our waiter turned my phone over to the manager and he kept it secured until I realized I had left it. Very honest employees , so thankful!!!!
Staff was amazing. The front desk heard that itcwas my daughter's first time in Austin and theyvwent to get a wagon of kiddie toys to let her choose from. We were not expecting that, so it was little things like that that made our stay special.
If not the lap of luxury it’s the hip! Totally encapsulates the cool Austin vibe—centrally located at a luxe location. Quiet, sumptuous, clean, and discreet. The Living Room bar vinyl turntable for the win!
Really beautiful hotel-front desk employee Suzanne was so wonderful friendly and professional. You need more staff like her! Room service was terrible, over an hour to receive food and it was not that good.
The front desk was very friendly. And so was the answering service and bartender. My only complaints are that 1) there was only one valet working and he was being called in a lot of directions so he wasn’t readily available and so there was a long wait to check in the car and 2) ordered room service. After 40 mins I called and they said they need another 20 mins. After 2 hours I cancelled it and just didn’t eat dinner that night. It was only 2 hamburgers! 😬
The property was very nice and convenient. Great views with quick access to everything within the hotel from coffee and food to drinks and pool. Also in the perfect downtown location with a lot of good restaurants and more within walking distance.
We stayed at the W Austin for a birthday trip and a show at Austin City Limits. When we got into bed, one side felt wet. Later in the night, we discovered a large urine stain on the mattress pad, housekeeping had only changed the top sheet. Overnight, the smell intensified and the moisture soaked through my husband’s clothes.
The manager refunded our stay and moved us to a nicer room, but when we expressed our frustration the next morning, he said the refund and upgrade were “enough compensation” and even suggested the urine may have come from my husband. There was no follow-through, no apology note, and no gesture of hospitality.
We’ve stayed at many luxury hotels, and this response was far below standard for a situation that is clearly a biohazard. Staff elsewhere were great, but this incident and the handling of it were extremely disappointing.
I paid for suite. The bathroom was dirty. There was snot on the shower curtain. The room was right next to the elevator. It was even noisy in the bedroom from the elevator.
