What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
An expansive, downtown 801-room convention hotel with 100,000 square feet of meeting space spanning 40 breakout rooms—built to serve business groups and convention goers first, prioritizing function over personality.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The hotel puts you steps from Sixth Street live music and within easy walking distance of Rainey Street and Lady Bird Lake.
The rooms
Straightforward tower rooms offer practical comforts and wide views across the downtown skyline toward Lady Bird Lake.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated water and a whirlpool hot tub sit beneath string lights on the eighth-floor deck.
The fitness studio and gym
An on-site F45 studio runs high-intensity group workouts alongside a 24-hour gym with saunas and steam rooms.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
Cannon + Belle
Barstools line the wooden counter beneath shelves of craft bourbon, with a menu of Texas comfort dishes.
At the table
Breakfast buffets are served along a long counter under wire pendant lights, with communal high tables nearby.
How it began
Opened in 2003, the tower links directly to the Austin Convention Center across Fourth Street via an enclosed sixth-floor skybridge.
