Austin is many things, host to the latest live music, the seat of Texas government, a thriving foodie landscape and an outdoor adventurer’s dream town. We're even home to exotic wildlife, ranging from North America’s largest urban colony of Mexican free-tailed bats to the nomadic herds of UT Austin students foraging for food or a good time. However it’s described, Austin is unlike anywhere else in the world. Except Austin, of course. Find W Austin at the epicenter of it all, near the Moody Theater, the University of Texas campus and the capitol building. Our hotel's location in the vibrant 2nd Street District gives you a front row seat to the legendary Austin City Limits music venue, the annual South by Southwest music festival and roughly 250 nightclubs, theaters and concert arenas that make up the “Live Music Capital of the World.” When you want to clear your head or work up a sweat, the city has plenty of places that put you through your paces.
