JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts has opened its first property in Austin, approximately two and a half years after the hotel first broke ground.
The 34-story JW Marriott Austin is not only the largest hotel in the city, but also the largest JW Marriott in North America and the second largest JW Marriott in the world. The property has also achieved a LEED Silver certification and a 2-Star Austin Energy Green Building rating.
The hotel will boast a fifth-floor pool deck and bar, a full-service Starbucks, and three restaurants—Osteria Pronto, Corner, and Burger Bar.
Key interior design elements were incorporated to celebrate the spirit of Austin and the state of Texas. Unique design features include large columns throughout the hotel and lobby built from Texas limestone; a topographical map of Austin illustrated in the lobby ceiling and floor; illuminated artwork behind the check-in area that resembles a magnified cactus graphic; and a large outline of the state of Texas etched into the bottom of the pool.
