My wife and I stayed at Austin Proper to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and we had an incredible experience from start to finish. The hotel itself is beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, but what really stood out was the level of service. Every staff member we interacted with was warm, welcoming, and attentive. We were greeted by name during our meals at the restaurants, which made the stay feel personal and memorable. The team also went above and beyond by helping us celebrate with complimentary glasses of champagne at Kappo Kappo and during Goldie’s afternoon tea. From the restaurants to the hotel staff, every interaction came with a genuine smile and a high level of hospitality. Austin Proper made our anniversary weekend feel truly special, and we are already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful experience at Austin Proper. The hotel is beautifully designed, incredibly comfortable, and perfectly located, but what really stood out was the service. The entire team was warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay memorable. Every interaction felt thoughtful and personal, from the front desk to the guest relations team. Michael Rivas and the team went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and had everything we needed. That level of hospitality is what separates a good hotel from a truly great one. Austin Proper has the perfect mix of luxury, style, and genuine hospitality. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Austin.

I have both worked and stayed at many luxury hotels over the years, but Austin Proper really stood out to me. From the moment we arrived, the service felt genuinely warm and thoughtful. I was celebrating my birthday, and the front desk staff went above and beyond to make it feel special, which meant a lot and set the tone for the entire stay. The design of the hotel is stunning. Everything feels modern and curated without being cold or overly trendy. The rooms and common spaces were immaculately clean, and I loved all of the greenery throughout the property. It creates a calm, relaxing atmosphere that makes you forget you are in the middle of downtown Austin. That being said, the location is fantastic with beautiful river views and easy access to everything. The view from the rooftop pool was gorgeous (especially during sunset), the lounge chairs were very comfortable, and the service was friendly and attentive. The food and drinks were another highlight. Every cocktail and meal we had was flavorful, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. Don't leave without trying La Piscina! This is one of those hotels that feels special from start to finish. Stylish but welcoming, luxurious without trying too hard, and absolutely worth the stay. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Austin.

It's rare and special when a hotel can attain this level of luxury and execution and do it authentically and without any pretension. Every touch point, every detail was spot on, thoughtful and curated perfectly. We were particularly taken with the warmth and humanity of the entire staff — from the front desk, to the hosts at the Peacock, to our server Ivan, everyone was genuine, kind and warm. Make sure to get coffee in the front room in the morning and say hello to Evie. She was nothing short of a ray of sunshine. It's rare and special when a hotel can attain this level of luxury and execution and do it authentically and without any pretension. Drinks at the bars were delicious, Goldie's was fun and the bartenders take great care of you. Peacocks food over delivered and the Peacock bar/Lobby bar is great. The Amenities are fantastic as well. The gym is hands down the best hotel gym I have ever seen. Multiple free weight squat racks, multiple reformers, every machine you want in a gym, trap bar and deadlift mat... The beds and pillows are so comfortable, the rooms are beautiful, modern and inviting and every detail is thought out- even the hairdryer is top of the line. The stay was worth every penny. My wife and I have been on a high from the trip all week. Anis and the team were absolutely wonderful.
