Austin Proper Hotel

Amazing hotel. Great design, wonderful service, and perfect location. The staff are very welcoming. Try the restaurant Peacock. It’s delicious. Highly recommend.

I want to give major props to Jabari and Kendra in valet for assisting me with getting my car in valet and welcoming me to the Proper. There was a rush, but they still were so sweet and nice. I commend them on their providence of superb hospitality! Thank you both and I will be back!

From pulling into valet during a rush and leaving with a seemingly faster departure, Kendra was GREAT! She was attentive. She gave a great suggestion of finishing desserts with churros from La Piscina and did not disappoint. It's one thing to have good hospitality, but greater to know that I'm not seen as just another person. ALL STAFF WERE AMAZINGGGG!

Our group of 4 had two rooms for the weekend; it was our first visit from DFW. (On a side note for locals, the Vonlane bus was a relaxing and upscale choice.) Pros: Incredible staff, unique and interesting style and decor, outstanding location. Front desk and housekeeping were responsive to a couple of requests we had. We rented a cabana at the pool on a Saturday in August from 11-2. Every chair at the pool was filled with at least one guest by 11, so we were happy to have our own personal space. All cabanas were shady during that time. The service was outstanding, with some extras delivered, including a beautiful and delicious fruit platter. Note that the rental was $175 with a $350 minimum spend. Online photos of this area were hard to find so I have included a couple. We had room service in our suite one night for dinner. All food was hot and delicious. Our drinks were freshly prepared. It’s a short walk to the riverside for exercise. Hestia restaurant is in the same block. We did not eat in any of the restaurants, but enjoyed the art and decor on the first floor very much. We did not visit the gym or spa. We requested singing bowl meditation well in advance from the spa menu, but were not informed of its unavailability until we called to check. Beds and bedding were comfortable for us and bathrooms well stocked. Shower has great pressure. The bathroom in one of our original rooms was cramped, but the replacement room was much larger. The robes are a nice weight for the hot climate. (See below on the room) Con: We booked two premier King rooms, listed at 375 sq ft on the website. One of the rooms was tiny, so small we returned to the desk for a change. Interestingly enough , the only other room in this category was also smaller than the advertised size. We were offered a $100 credit. Turned that down and ended up upgrading to the smallest size suite. The new corner room had gorgeous views. So, beware of the room size descriptions if you are sensitive to this issue. Our other premier King was as advertised. We would book this location again. We hope to spend some time in the gorgeous cocktail bar and maybe try one of the restaurants.

Really awesome valet guy (Arnold) started the experience off right, great time at the Proper. Dinner at La Piscina, best fajitas in town!
