Our unique spaces include a grand ballroom with multiple breakout rooms & flexible outdoor space
Austin is a city where we like to get outdoors no matter the season. There's nothing like a party under a Texas sunset, and we have the outdoor event space to bring pure magic to life. Gather on the Lawn for celebrations and occasions alike, and enjoy craft cocktails from the Airstream bar and the delicious bites our on-site dining has to offer.
Why celebrate in anything but style? We like our events to lean into the laid-back Austin vibes. We have bold style, floor-to-ceiling windows with beaming natural light, and intimate spots for chatting with new and old friends alike. Trust us, this is the true Texas energy you want at your next party.
The Capitol Ballroom is anything but traditional hotel event space. Up to 1,200 guests can gather for the meeting of the year or, if there's a party on the books, boogie to your favorite tunes in a space where everything really is bigger in Texas. This is the place where unforgettable celebrations happen.
If you want to start churning out creative new ideas, you need to be surrounded by vibrant inspiration. Our breakout spaces are surrounded by inspiring views. This is where you'll come up with your next big product launch or dream up the marketing plan that's going to catapult you into the big leagues.
Want to let loose once your meetings are over? Our restaurant and lounge are just the place to grab a drink and let the day marinate (or wash away, depending on your mood). We also have private dining, custom cocktails, and beats that don't stop until you do.
We can be serious, but we're never stuffy. Whether you're a start-up discussing your first launch or you're a Fortune 500 company with a big deal on the move, book the Downright Austin meeting space for state-of-the-art technology combined with our unconventional business aesthetic.
Outdoor Events on the Lawn
Throw a two-stepping good time in the shadows of the State Capitol. The Lawn is the backdrop for intimate fêtes with only your inner circle and rip-roaring celebrations as big as the state of Texas. Lean on the energy of downtown Austin to set the rhythm for your big day, and we can guarantee this will be a night y'all will be telling tales about for years to come.
