AUSTIN, Texas
JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts opened its first property in Austin, approximately two-and-a-half years after the hotel first broke ground, as the largest JW Marriott on the continent.
The 34-story JW Marriott Austin is also the largest hotel in the city and the second-largest JW Marriott in the world.
The 1,012-room hotel will boast a fifth-floor pool deck and bar, some of the largest guest rooms in the city, an upscale Italian restaurant and casual burger eatery, and approximately 120,000 square feet of meeting and event space that includes the 30,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom.
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 fifth-floor pool.
