20 years ago, W Hotels appeared on the scene and essentially created a new category in the lodging industry: chic boutique hotels. W Hotels focused on incorporating cool, contemporary design of into their rooms, lounges, lobbies and even hallways. Each W Hotel is uniquely different. Here’s some pics from our recent visit to W Hotel Austin.
Doug’s Takeaway: We never left the hotel. We wanted to fully relax, read and enjoy the design of the room. In the morning I went down and looked at art books in the stylish lobby, before heading to lunch in their restaurant. Hotel stays like this help clear your mind.
