JW Marriott Austin
Featuring more than a thousand guest rooms and 120,000 square feet of meeting and event space in the heart of downtown, this new Congress Avenue hotel is the largest JW Marriott in the U.S. and the second largest in the world. In time, this addition to the city's hotel room inventory should help wrangle Austin's skyrocketing festival prices. Three restaurants flank the hotel from every entrance, while the rooftop pool offers stellar skyline views and a cocktail bar.
