Austin's Largest Hotel Opens
JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts opened its first property in Austin Friday. The 34-story JW Marriott Austin is not only the city's largest hotel, but also the largest JW Marriott in North America and the second-largest JW Marriott in the world. The LEED Silver (and a two-star Austin Energy Green Building) hotel features 1,012 rooms and a fifth-floor pool deck and bar, stellar views, a full-service Starbucks and more. A highly anticipated player in Austin’s burgeoning culinary scene, the hotel will also feature three restaurants—Osteria Pronto, Corner and Burger Bar. The hotel is on the square block bounded by Second and Third streets and Brazos Street and Congress Avenue in Downtown Austin. Here’s a slideshow look at the hotel’s features in the Austin Business Journal.
