Wonderful historic hotel located close to the Capitol and walking distance to so many other destinations.
The 1886 Bakery / Restaurant is great for breakfast. They even have Texas shaped Belgian waffles!
We have always wanted to stay here, so we recently splurged for our anniversary.
It was well worth it.
The service is excellent and everyone is very friendly.
Great experience. Staff were always going out of their way to help: valets, front desk, waiters.
The cafe in the ground floor is excellent. I LOVED getting my free $10 breakfast there every morning.
Upstairs at Caroline is fun and trendy, and it's perfect that it's half outdoors so it's safe during Covid, although the food is pretty flavorless (even the tortilla chips have no salt on them).
They have a laundry room for extended stays, a grab and go food area, and my FAVORITE: a chat system so you can message them from your app to request room cleaning or food or whatnot. I used it to let them know when I had a delivery coming.
My only bummer was the suite felt pretty cheap. There was only one bar of soap provided, yet there are two sinks (kitchenette and bathroom). There were some other odd details like that that made me go "really?" But the staff and hotel more than make up for it. And the price overall is great.
Also they allow pets. My yellow lab loved it
Wow – this hotel is incredible. At just about three years old, it’s essentially still brand new. The restaurant and bars are great quality for a fair price. Location is prime, right off of Congress, three blocks walking distance from the capital building, nearby there’s a ton of activities, and a short distance to South Congress. Jocelyn was also helped me upgrade to a very top floor with a stunning view of downtown and the capital. She was very warm and welcoming upon check-in and was absolutely wonderful.
I have to say I highly recomend staying here. Krista was beyond my expectations. She really made the stay easy and was extremely accommodating and I felt welcomed. The room was extremely clean and comfortable. People that stayed there were friendly and not loud. Very peaceful stay. Definitely will stay again in the future.
I placed a request for a late check-in. The hotel staff accommodated my husband and me. Anthony Durham checked us in; his customer service was astounding! Due to the hotel's availability, he was kind enough to upgrade us with no extra charge! Anthony was very kind and knowledgeable about the area! The hotel room was clean and comfortable. I will be staying here again when we revisit Austin!
Always my go-to accommodation when in the area! I recently stayed over my birthday weekend and the staff went above and beyond to make sure my stay was memorable. They are following every COVID19 precaution and even provide you with a "Stay Safe" packet with hand wipes and masks. This made me feel safe and comfortable while travelling. The amenities were clean and the bar was reasonably priced. The staff was professional and friendly, as usual. Thank you for another wonderful stay!
You can never go wrong at the Westin. The bedding is Wonderful, plenty of thick towels, pleasant smells throughout the hotel! This location has a rooftop bar and shallow pool. It would be a great place to get some sun during day. Breakfast downstairs was amazing!
I was visiting my daughter the weekend of the Austin polar vortex. Fortunately we were at Hotel Zara as we had to extend our stay through the week because of weather. As luck had it they were one of the only hotels whose restaurants remained open through most of it and when they finally had to close they offered us breakfast tacos and sandwiches for lunch. If I was going to be stuck somewhere, I can’t think of a better place to be stuck! Their customer service and communication amongst its guests was superb! I watched as they took in locals with their dogs, children and belongings and worked around the clock with a skeleton staff as most of the employees couldn’t get home either. I’m sure the staff was exhausted but they continued to serve and go above and beyond for their guests. On my next visit to Austin, I’ll be staying at Hotel Zara!!! Thank you for keeping us warm and fed!
Amazing view from the huge window in the room. Super nice rooftop swimming pool + bar/lounge area. Nice modern decor in the rooms and comfy furniture. Showers are amazing and bathrooms are stocked with everything you would need.
They literally have a Starbucks and a spa IN the hotel. What more could you ask for?
Located within walking distance of all kinds of bars and restaurants and things to do! Best hotel in Austin!
Brandon at the front showed us absolute world class service. I am beyond words impressed with the be customer service here. Thank you so much Brandon for making our girls weekend so special! Top notch world class service! Highly recommended!
Amazing hotel, very fresh clean and modern decor/fixtures. Beds are stellar. Joseph at the front desk is wonderful! Love the gym too, it’s legit. This hotel is a great value.
Beautiful hotel with a number of dining options and in close proximity to many great restaurants/bars. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Line. The hotel was tastefully decorated and the room included high quality amenities/toiletries. We were able to try the coffee shop, taco shop (tried it 3x), and Saturday brunch. Pets are allowed so if you're not an animal lover I would take that into consideration before booking. We would definitely stay here again.
Friendly staff, well maintained and very clean. The location worked well for getting to the places we wanted to go. Definitely the place to stay at during my next trip to Austin.
Wow! I had an amazing stay. The hotel staff was wonderful. Very friendly, personable, and went out of their way. The property itself is very nice. I loved the decor and they did have a chance to enjoy the pool deck. Look forward to coming back!
Great seating, spaced out and comfortable setting. Great wine! Great customer service. Wish they had a happy hour still, but prices are fair and food is well prepared. I will definitely be back.
I love it here. Got a room on the gold level floor and the lounge is very nice. My room has a superb view, the staff are very friendly, and the food downstairs is also really quite good. The towels are really nice and big and the bathroom is a very grand and exciting experience. So are the beds. Unfortunately, as with many hotels, the pillows are a little flat. Not sure why, but I think having some of the flat variety and then some a little bit higher might provide good pillow diversity and allow for more quality rest. Otherwise 10/10 would reccomend!
During my stay at austin proper was one to remember. The entire building and staff are absolutely perfect!!! I'd like to shout out one if there team members who was so accommodating. Thank you so much Louie for all of the things you do to keep the ship sailing smoothly! I can't wait to go back!!!
I loved this place. The ambiance is a quaint and acoustic. Everyone working there was a lot of fun even the night security guard who made sure I was feeling okay when I couldn't sleep. The upstairs was like I was stepping into a recording studio. I loved this place, it created so much creative juices. The murals are amazing. Even noticed some tour stop in to give some history of the pieces there. It's in a super downtown location that is growing like mad with the new transit that was being constructed at the time. I walked all over while I was there because it is in such a great spot in Austin. Thanks for the amazing stay
Great, except day 1 no water, say 2 onwards no pool, no shower screen/ curtain for those who like to keep their showers from splashing into the bathroom.. what makes a 4/5 star hotel? The happy hour is good!
