W Austin plugs you straight into the city’s soundtrack: it shares its block with ACL Live at Moody Theater, in the Second Street District where downtown dresses up and stays out late.




Lady Bird Lake is a few blocks south, upscale boutiques line the streets around it, and Willie Nelson’s statue keeps watch nearby.
This 5-star scene-stealer features the famous WET Deck pool, the AWAY Spa, a buzzing living-room bar and rooms with lake or skyline views.
For concert nights, celebrations and travelers who like their hotel with a pulse.
