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.

Another great hotel in the Marriott / Westin chain. Downtown is the middle if everything. Park and walk to mist restaurants and cocktail lounges or entertainment venues. The hotel goes out of their way to be sure guests and comfortable and enjoying their stay. Great staff of dedicated people that care.

The service was a disappointment. One example - the hotel says you can eat breakfast at their restaurant but the hotel restaurant refuses to seat the hotel guests. Instead of trying to accommodate guests during a busy time, they placed "reserved" signs on a bunch of tables in the bar area, which would just sit empty for 30+ minutes. When I… Read more

When I mentioned this, the hotel staff didn't address the issue. Just an odd experience overall. Read less

My son had his wedding hotel room black at this Westin. From planning all of the rooms with Andrea, to check in from the Car Porters to the front desk to the housekeepers and of course The bar staff, especially Dee, who was a fabulous bartender, and Mike, our favorite waiter. It was one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. I would recommend the the Westin downtown Austin to anybody traveling there. It was top-notch and the staff is absolutely incredible! I travel a lot and this was one of our best experiences ever. Every single person that stayed at the hotel and our party commented on what a wonderful experience they had. Thank you thank you especially to Andrea for all of our hard work to getting all of these rooms booked. We had terrible travel problems due to weather ..but the Westin was wonderful working with everybody and making sure the rooms were ready when they got there. Thank you again. Read less

Jill was the best server. I had every intention of just going and relaxing. She convinced me that I needed to have a good time and because of that I enjoyed the trip 1000x more than I would’ve. She’s a welcoming and professional server. 10/10
