W Austin

It's all about the image, so the first thing you'll see when you enter are stunning views through wraparound windows in this one-bedroom suite in corner locations—it looks as good as it sounds. The stripped down, exposed concrete that is part of the suite's custom-designed interior is architecture appreciation unplugged, enhancing your awareness of the hotel's construction and structure.

Life begins in the living room with a state-of-the-art entertainment system showcasing a wall-mounted 52" Samsung LCD TV and Sonoro for W Hotels clock radio with iPod docking station—take it all in settled in the sofa beneath a gallery of Scott Newton's eye-catching images of the world's greatest musicians performing at Austin City Limits. The oversized work desk with cordless phones and High Speed Internet Access is your console for wheeling and dealing, while the fabulous W MixBar makes sure you're always sufficiently fueled. In-room recycling means green.

In the bedroom, your batteries have never been recharged so happily as in the signature W bed with custom Sferra bed throws, 300-thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, goose-down comforter and pillows with LED accent lights above the headboard. Stretch out on the red chaise lounge as you flick on the 40" Samsung LCD TV if you want your MTV. You'll find yourself primping for your début with a glass-enclosed shower with Bricor Vac.Flow Venture showerheads that produces the perfect amount of pressure to wake you from your sleep while minimizing water usage, and separate Kohler bathtub nestled in the windowside niche. A guitar strap-inspired graphic along the edge of the mirror sets the mood as vintage David Hicks-inspired wallpaper is featured in the water closet, and a separate vanity area with white ottoman provides a perfect spot to sit. Bliss® Spa sinkside six bath amenities complete this gig.
