What guests think

Across reviews, Austin Proper Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels, stands out for striking design and a lively scene, with many praising the central location and restaurants, while noting noise, small rooms, and crowded bars.

Service is largely warm and professional, though a few guests experienced inconsistent housekeeping, reservation mix-ups, or training gaps. Facilities like the gym and spa draw compliments, but the pool can feel undersized and busy. Other noted drawbacks include ineffective blackout shades and some rooms facing a parking garage; one review reported limited late-night food. Best suited to travelers who prioritize stylish, energetic surroundings over total quiet.

Fantastic stay from start to finish, the restaurants are wonderful. Probably the best bars in Austin. Great gym and spa, with stunning interior design throughout the whole property. One of my favourite hotels by far. Oscar on the front desk was a star and the bell staff especially Micah just couldn’t do enough for us. 100 out of 10.

The Austin proper is a thoughtfully curated space. The rooms are exceptionally comfortable and the shared spaces of the hotel are beautiful. The restaurants and bars of the hotel provide exceptional experiences and excellent quality food. While anyone can plan to have an enjoyable and relaxing visit to the Austin proper, the locals flock to the restaurants of the hotel in the evening, and it does get quite busy. This is a great place to mingle and meet young professionals, so do not plan to enjoy a quiet cocktail at the bar.

The room was uncomfortable, tiny, view of side of parking deck, no drawers for clothes, so lived out of suitcase on the floor. One tiny table big enough for one, had to flip the trashcan over between the beds to provide surface area for pocket stuff. For the cost, no way we'd ever come back.

I did not get the balcony suite I booked far in advanced and also prepaid. If I wanted to stay in a basic room with subpar service there are a lot cheaper options. The blinds do not even cover the windows, far from blackout as advertised. Michael who checked us in said I can free dessert, well that’s far from the price differential for a balcony suite on a Saturday night during acl. I asked to speak with the manager he said he’s the only one here, later to tell me he’s actually the front desk assistant. I got no sleep due to the windows not being completely covered. The entire reason I booked this room is for the balcony.

The property is beautiful, but the friendliness, efficiency, and welcoming nature of the staff were incomparable. Thank you for a weekend of feeling pampered and well taken care of. We are so grateful for the time to relax!

Dining

On-site restaurants, especially The Peacock and La Piscina, earn strong praise for quality food and a lively atmosphere, and breakfast is frequently highlighted. Late-night food wasn’t available for one arrival, and some found room service or pool cocktails underwhelming; bars can be loud and crowded.

The Austin proper is super beautiful. I booked this stay as I was intrigued by the Pilates and yoga offered at the property and called early to reserve some classes but was told to do so at the property. When I got there, I was told they had no class offerings for that time which was a big let down as it was the main reason I booked this hotel. The breakfast was amazing but the room service dinner was overpriced and underwhelming. Otherwise, the overall aesthetic and interior design are top tier. In room products are luxurious and attention to detail was on point.
