Renaissance Austin Downtown Hotel
4.5 (981)hotel
4.5 (981)Retro-vibe hotel steps from downtown, with a rooftop pool, lobby cocktails, and comedy nights that keep things lively.
Description
A retro-vibe hotel in the heart of Austin, with a rooftop pool that’s sunny and cute but gets absolutely jam-packed on weekends—so much so that guests report difficulty finding a chair until after 6pm, with the pool seeming open to the public. The staff earns consistent praise for being friendly and accommodating, and the location is excellent for getting around town. Adding to the character are free lobby cocktails on Wednesday through Saturday and comedy nights in the Rodeo Room.
