It’s about time that the nation’s capital of barbecue and indie rock got a hotel that offered some extra personality and sophistication. Well, the W is here: It’s sufficiently urbane for business travelers, yet hip enough for the music- and tech-industry trendsetters for whom frequent trips to Austin are pretty much required. Its central location puts it just a few blocks from the Austin Convention Center, hub of all things South by Southwest every spring, and right across the river from Zilker Park, home to the Austin City Limits festival in the fall. Even business functions in Austin are all about the nightlife, so take advantage of your FoundersCard benefit and start an evening off right with a complimentary drink at the bar.
In this striking glass tower you’re undoubtedly at a W, but the interior’s splashed with laid-back Austin attitude: Southwest-inspired touches in the guest rooms and a pool bar framed by desert shrubs reflect the city’s quirky take on Texas pride. Trace Restaurant serves seasonal small plates and colorful cocktails, although you’re walking distance from stellar upscale American cuisine at Moonshine Patio and more steakhouses and BBQ joints than you can count on both hands. A pilgrimage down the road to the Salt Lick is a must.

Love having a W in my home town and what and Founderscard makes it even better with awesome discounts!
