The Westin Austin Downtown

Austin, Texas

Virgin rating

The hotel

There’s a reason Austin is named ‘The Live Music Capital of the World’, and staying here you’ll find out why. Just a stones throw from the blues clubs, country bars and food trucks of the Sixth Street Entertainment District, and the legendary live music nightclub Antone’s is directly across the street. The music theme is carried on inside the hotel, with subtle decorations such as the woodwork guitar design behind the front desk, which exemplifies their attention to detail throughout the hotel. The rooftop bar and lounge is a particular highlight, with firepits for those chilly nights, and cabanas to relax poolside with a cocktail in hand, overlooking the Austin skyline. The views are also fantastic from the room, with floor to ceiling windows – and upgrading to a Corner room will make them even more spectacular.

In town for a long weekend. The beds were so comfortable. The front desk staff was so helpful and accommodating. And the rooftop bar (and staff) was awesome! Great first impression of Austin, Texas!

Sabrina and Maggie were wonderful and such a beautiful setting. Dee-licious drinks. Wonderful margarita. Pool was inviting but didn’t swim today. Friendly and very attentive staff. Highly recommend!

We had a great 3-day family stay at the Westin Austin. The hotel is in a great location in Downtown Austin right next to 6th street. It’s an easy walk to Downtown shops and restaurants, and about a 25-30 minute walk from South Congress. Sila and Emre at the front desk made our stay really special.

We had a great 3-day family stay at the Westin Austin. The hotel is in a great location in Downtown Austin right next to 6th street. It’s an easy walk to Downtown shops and restaurants, and about a 25-30 minute walk from South Congress. Sila and Emre at the front desk made our stay really special. They greeted us with a huge smile and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. They recognized my wife’s Bonvoy Titanium status. Our son’s stroller arrived late and they coordinated a 5am drop-off from the airline (!) without us needing to wake up at that time. Thank you so much Sila and Emre! We also enjoyed breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant (Stella San Jac) in the morning, which was of a much higher standard than typical hotel breakfast. The restaurant staff including Yndira were really friendly. Read less

Stephen was so kind and helped us with our luggage. We had a large guest count in the lobby when we arrived and he was so patient with giving us time to say hello and monitoring our belongings while we said our hellos. He placed every item of ours with grace and we appreciated the phenomenal customer service!

Amazing atmosphere with outstanding service! Jillian and Adam provided the best service we have had in Austin- attentive, friendly, anticipating what we needed. Highly recommend Azul during your visit to Austin! The rooftop destination has lovely cabanas, couches and fans to keep you cool! Don’t miss it and enjoy!
