The design of W Hotel Austin

The design of W Hotel Austin

20 years ago, W Hotels appeared on the scene and essentially created a new category in the lodging industry: chic boutique hotels. W Hotels focused on incorporating  cool, contemporary design of into their rooms, lounges, lobbies and even hallways. Each W Hotel is uniquely different. Here’s some pics from our recent visit to W Hotel Austin.
