The Westin Austin Downtown

Super location, great pool with cocktails perfect spot to chill during the heat.

Rooftop pool bar very relaxed area friendly staff, and the hotel is a great location just a couple of minutes to 6th street.

Cons Parking was a bit chaotic, there is a valet service but as we arrived at a busy time we have to do a lap of the block.

Exceptional Service

Outstanding experience. The staff sets the place apart. From Cody at check-in to the team in the lobby bar, I felt truly at home for a week. I have stayed at the JW and the W in Austin and would strongly recommend the Westin over both.

Nice Hotel

Rooms are nice sized as is bathroom. Room has laptop safe and mini fridge, two important necessities for me as well as a small couch. I needed a straight back chair due to back issues and front desk did accomodate. There is a bar/restaurant in the hotel. Check- in was easy and staff very friendly. The housekeeping staff was always available and so pleasant. The hotel is directly across the street from Antones night club, excellent live music. And 5th St Diner is just a block or so away. Cons: the room had a musty smell (febreeze and lysol helped), phone in room did not work and oddly enough Uber dropped off at hotel however would not pickup from hotel, had to go one block down-- which i thought was strange. All in all hotel is clean, lots of food trucks next door as well as other food options close by. Great spot for entertainment too. I would stay again

An Exceptional Westin Experience

I’ve probably stayed at the Westin Austin Downtown a dozen times over the years, and it has consistently been a great experience — beautiful hotel, genuinely friendly staff, and an excellent breakfast. This time, though, I discovered they’ve changed restaurants, and while I thought the previous one was great, the new restaurant is truly extraordinary. As a lifetime Platinum Marriott member, I can honestly say this was the best breakfast I’ve had at a Marriott property anywhere in the United States — and possibly even Europe. (Asia still has the edge! 😂) The breakfast alone will have me coming back to this hotel, even if the rate is a little higher than some of the other options in the neighborhood. And a special shout-out to Johnny, who was an absolute pleasure and a fantastic ambassador for the hotel. People like him make a great property even better. The Marriott family should be proud of this property. I’ll definitely be back!

Cons Pool

Roof top pool was a positive, good vibes and nice staff.

Cons Roof top pool was very busy, hard to get a spot with so many other people coming for day passes. So get in early
