-Atmosphere felt very high-end. -Room was very nice as well as the bed however the WiFi didn’t work. I told the front desk and apparently only the floor I was on had bad connection. Also the cellular data its almost completely cut off on that floor as well so communication was difficult. -The TV was poor for an Austin 5-star hotel, it made me feel like I was watching TV in 2008 at my grandmothers house. It’s dial up and down with no guide and limited TV channels. -I heard everything that happened outside of the room. Every door that staff or other guests opened, the, I’m assuming, washer and dryer above the room running, footsteps, and people talking. The walls are poorly thin and that disturbed the overall comfort that the room had offered. -Lastly at the Nido restaurant for breakfast, we were poured slightly green-tinged water that the waiter noticed and immediately replaced. Later on he came to refill our cups and used the same pitcher that had the green water by accident and noticed it again. Not sure where that water came from but I’m glad I was paying attention. *This didn’t affect the rating but I was sad that the AWESOME robes weren’t free of charge and $120 per robe, those were very nice*

Great check in experience and great valet. It can be pricey but the location is absolutely perfect. Great for walking, parks, splashpads, and the theater for plays is right there. Shout-out to Thomas for making our checkin extra comfortable and special.

I chose The Loren for a solo writing retreat, and it exceeded every expectation. The views, peaceful atmosphere, spacious room, and thoughtful design created the perfect environment to rest, think, and write. Every member of the team made me feel genuinely welcomed. The gentleman who checked me in, the valet and bell staff, Caitlyn, and the team at Milk + Honey, especially Alex and Erinn, all delivered exceptional hospitality. My massage was outstanding, and the service throughout my stay was consistently warm and attentive. I also appreciated the rooftop dining experience and the sense of calm that carried throughout the property. My only suggestions would be to expand the room service menu for longer stays and make access to the spa a bit more seamless. Even so, this was a five-star experience that left me rested, productive, and already planning my return for another writing retreat. I highly recommend The Loren to anyone looking for luxury, tranquility, and exceptional hospitality.

Fantastic stay! Cool and chic place with a great view and even better vibe. Typing extra words because it makes me (kinda silly to require 100 characters?)

My daughter and I stay at The Loren for a girl’s weekend in Austin. The hotel is in a perfect location, is aesthetic perfection, very well maintained and has a very kind staff. Our room was SPOTLESS — the best hotel room we have ever stayed in. Everything was perfect and we would highly recommend. We’ll be back many times!!!
