Take in the Best View of Downtown Austin
Azul, located at The Westin Austin Downtown on East 5th Street, is the ideal place to spend sun-drenched days lounging in the pool and escaping the Austin heat, or chilling with friends as this space transforms into a lounge in the evenings. Hotel guests and visitors alike are welcome to enjoy Travel Agent Central's Coolest Hotel Pool.
As the tallest hotel rooftop bar and lounge in Austin, Azul boasts spectacular views across the cityscape with transparent panels surrounding the deck. Our modern-designed deck is sleek and chic and will make you feel right at home as you relax with your crew, lounging by the pool with a drink in hand. When the sun goes down, our fire pits turn on, and Azul transforms from a pool and bar to a chic lounge. Experience why Eater rates us as Austin's #1 best outdoor bar.
