TRACE Restaurant sources ingredients from local farms through a dedicated foraging program, while the Living Room offers four distinct dining spaces with different décor themes. The WET outdoor pool deck provides a social gathering space, complemented by the AWAY Spa offering massages, body treatments, and beauty services. For business travelers, the property includes meeting spaces and complimentary Wi-Fi in public areas.

“W Austin merges luxury and music culture right next to the Austin City Limits Live venue. Expect clean, comfortable rooms and a well-equipped gym. In my opinion, its location is ideal for reaching restaurants, offices, and tourist spots by foot.”
