W Austin

Right across the street from Lady Bird Lake Trail . Terrific run/walk. Ask for a map at the front desk. Many distance options. Comparable to running at the Charles in Boston/Cambridge without the wind.

comfortable beds , love the rooms and can walk to everything DT very easily. The staff was awesome too. Check out 2nd Street Kitchen, Moonshine or Amy's ice cream for those who have never been to ATX.

A rooftop apiary provides honey for the sleek farm-to-table restaurant , TRACE , downstairs, which also has its own forager. Don’t miss brunch on the patio on Sundays, complete with live jazz . Read more

More hotels should have this multi mobile device charging station. Although one of the drawbacks is that you'll need to keep up with new connectors like the new one for iPhone 5 & iPad 4 and beyond.

Possibly the best hotel experience ever. They were so wonderful to our dogs and the staff was so friendly . I don't give complements easily but they really went above and beyond.

One of the best and romantic bars in Austin. It goes on forever, many nooks and hidden areas to share a quiet moment with your mate.

I wanted some fruit . They said choose anything. I felt like a king. And THEN they gave me the best presentation ever! (The mmmpanadas were delish too!)

Pretty much in the heart of everything. Lots of good bars and restaurants around.

Two words: Drunken Doughnuts . These tasty pastries are served with tequila chile fudge sauce, bourbon dulce de leche and vodka whipped cream . Get them at the on-site restaurant TRACE . Read more

One of Austin’s newest hotels is located on the trendy 2nd Street District. The W is also the home to the “Austin City Limits” studio, which hosts concerts as well as the TV show tapings year-round.

Complimentary show shine and they'll bring a coffee maker to your room if you ask. Roof deck by pool is amazing for lunch or just relaxing.

One of the cooler Ws I've seen. Trace has great burgers for you're looking for a quick bite , need an old fashioned, and can find the entrance...

Choose your adventure at this multi-venue establishment. The casual Living Room Bar , the swanky "hidden" bar , or the modern elegance Trace Restaurant bar provide plenty of options.

W offers great rooms and one of the best audio-video systems I've seen in a long time. Conference rooms have powerful Bose speakers. Enjoyable place to deliver presentations.

Great hotel but seems a little bit behind its other brothers and sister in all public spaces. Or has it changed already?

Being the location of the 2011 Social Business Summit, we can say that the conference services and food & beverage are top notch. Check out the 2nd story deck when the weather is mild.

Pet friendly ! Pet welcome kit includes toys , treats, dog bed, turn-down service and more. However, guests with pets will have to cough up an additional $25 per night and a $100 "cleaning fee." Read more

The bar at the lobby is huge. A lot of rooms and each one with a bar . The bathrooms are mixed. Nice place.

Try the Gazpacho Three Ways - So hungry nearly forgot to take a pic - 1 is #creamy, 1's #spicy , 1's #herbaceous. Can you tell which is which?

Went there during the summer I enjoyed the saline pool over the standard chloride pools in most hotels . and the refreshing cucumber and lime water poolside . Very bright place, pricey $$$$$.

Very well located & a Nespresso machine in every comfortable room . Plus, bedside charging stations.

Try the Shrimp and Grits - #Nom! Shrimp is perfectly cooked. Grits are #creamy & a bit #salty. Great #balance. + gluten-free!

The W needs to update it's video service. The digital feeds for about 5 stations (including ESPN and Fox) don't work. BTW: some of us now bring our own video. Open up the TV ports please!

One of my all time favorite hotels .

Coffee by 10am. Record room is cool! Get workout in and if warm, pool is good. Trace for lunch , good but not cheap . I like this W...

Hotel gym is LEGIT. They have a full squat rack. If you're a gymrat and hoteler , you know how rare that is.

Be sure to check the Austin City Limits schedule when you book here. Music lovers will appreciate that it is attached to the hotel .

Try to get a room with the view of the Frost tower

Try the Market (Egg White ) Omelette with Arugula Salad - Nice, light balance of #veggies & local goat #cheese .

Fun hotel lobby bar . Way more people than I originally thought would show up, and a well dressed crowd.

3X the points if you choose to go from automatic room maintenance to "green" and have cleaning by request only.

One of the best hotels in Austin . Good healthy food at Trace .

Still a hangout for SXSW goers and Austinites who like to hang out in luxe environs.

Always look for @realaustin @jenneraustin and @lizziecamp while you are here.

Be sure to make reservations with the Acura Experience desk to drive you to the great South Congress shops and eats!

Must have the Texas sticky toffee pudding dessert from room service . Order a fruit plate to go with it.

If you wanna pool party pass, bring me a pint of Amy's ice cream

It's SXSW time... you KNOW there's amazing things going on here. Check do512.com for all the details!

Pool has a Vegas vibe. Perfect spot for some day drinking !

Mohito's are refreshing here :)

Gorgeous, modern hotel ! Great pens.

Parking : Don't be a tool, park one block away for $5 a night/day starting fri-sun. W is $29 a night and that valet shit is for lazy fat bastards ( or those on their way).

Good drinks, love the multiple seating areas.

Brisket sliders are a nice treat

Book the mid-priced Fabulous Rooms, with wraparound windows that showcase the pride of Austin—Lady Bird Lake .

Amazing food and cocktails . Great place to meet new people after 9 most nights!

The brunch menu is great & very affordable . $3 mimosas???? ????

Great ambience and awesome dj !

There are residences here.... Be careful because they'll probably try to take you back to their "house"

I checked the lounge and lobby and found the decoration too raw/industrial, not my favorite W.
