The Bar/Lounge at W Austin

"For those who would rather relax, head to the WET pool surrounded by lounge chairs, or get spoiled with a massage or facial at the sprawling Away Spa with its seven treatment rooms"

"The hotel's Living Room bar areas and rooftop pool are popular gathering spots for Austinites, and the on-site restaurant, Trace, is one of the city's culinary hot spots"

""Right in the heart of Downtown", this "cool, laid-back space with an upscale Austin vibe" has "über-modern" decor, an "attentive" staff and Austin City Limits concert venue next door; the "contemporary" rooms are "plush" with (for many) "amazing" Downtown views – factor in a "huge" gym, "awesome" pool area, "fast WiFi" and "always-busy" bar (a "gathering place for young Austinites"), and a stay may be "a little over budget, but worth it" for "business travelers and just for fun"

"Another don't-miss spot at the W is on the fourth floor: The WET pool deck features private cabanas, lounge chairs, tanning shelves, and a fireplace"

"Surrounded by downtown Austin’s vibrant music scene, the W Austin draws on the neighborhood’s rock-and-roll roots for its hip bar scene, glam roof-deck pool, and colorful, mid-century–inspired decor"
