Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Airy and bright, the renovated midcentury high-rise has a multistory glass atrium with communal seating areas and lush greenery.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set in downtown Austin, the hotel sits one block north of Sixth Street's music venues and walking distance from the Texas State Capitol.
The rooms
Interiors feature live-edge walnut, black quartz surfaces, and unicorn sculptures, framing views across the downtown skyline or down into the atrium.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated year-round, the rooftop pool is lined with white loungers and private cabanas looking out across downtown Austin.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Capital A serves all-day fare beneath wooden trellises in the atrium, and Cloud Bar pours drinks beside the rooftop pool.
How it began
The tower occupies the 19th-century site of the Republic of Texas President's House, the official residence of President Mirabeau B. Lamar.
