1 Hotels is opening its first property in Texas with the debut of 1 Hotel Austin. This property is situated within the tallest building in the entire state.

 

The hotel has more than 250 guestrooms and is part of a mixed-use development. It’s nearby Waterloo Greenway and Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail. It brings the outdoors in with reclaimed and salvaged woods, and a living plant wall. On-site amenities include a restaurant from a James Beard award-nominated chef: Alteno. There’s also a wine bar and rooftop venue.

 

“Opening in Austin is a milestone for 1 Hotels,” said Barry Sternlicht, founder, 1 Hotels. “Austin is a remarkable city, as it maintains its great traditions while embracing change and acting as a poster child for the brightest future. Few cities have been able to grow with the confidence Austin has while holding onto the qualities that make it special: its creativity, independent spirit, welcoming character and extraordinary natural beauty. 1 Hotels’ DNA is about celebrating nature and healthy and sustainable living; this location is perfect for us — set in the heart of the city, alongside Waller Creek, overlooking the Waterloo Greenway, and steps from the trail around Lady Bird Lake. The connection between nature and urban life is our perfect site.”
