W Austin is now home to the largest penthouse suite in the city.

The 2nd Street District hotel recently completed a $40 million renovation, including upgrades to its premium 16th-floor suites. Visitors can book a stay in the expansive Penthouse I for 1,798 square feet of pure luxury. Prices range from $290 to $500, depending on the time of the year and availability.

Austin’s largest hotel suite includes two bedrooms with king beds, plus two marble-accented bathrooms with a large tub, where guests can enjoy a bubble bath while soaking up the views of Lady Bird Lake. A separate service entrance in the dining room makes it easy to cater a spread of bites for large groups, and guests won’t even need to leave their rooms to grab a cup of coffee with the Miele espresso machine. They can sip to the tune of their favorite vinyl using the featured record player.

While not quite as large as its sister suite, Penthouse II offers a similar view of the lake and the famous South Congress bridge with two bedrooms and bathrooms, a dining room with a bar and barstools, and a separate living room within 1,307 square feet.

Both penthouses feature personalized concierge service, luxurious Frette robes, and nightly turndown service. The suites’ thoughtful interior design blends retro charm with modern luxury, using layers of textures to make your stay feel sophisticated yet comfortable.

Guests can enjoy breakfast from the tufted leather built-in dining banquette or lounge on the velvet couches and chairs. The rooms are authentically Austin with hues of purple and blue, reminiscent of the city’s “Violet Crown” nickname for its deep sunsets.

There’s also no shortage of reminders that visitors have stepped into the “Live Music Capital of the World” as they come across featured artwork, like concert images from Austin City Limits photographer Scott Newton. They don’t have to go far to get a quick tour of the city’s lively culture, as W Austin is nestled just steps away from the iconic Austin City Limits Live venue in the 2nd Street District. It's also just two blocks from the tree-lined Lady Bird Lake hike and bike trails.
