The luxury hotel now occupies the base of the KPF-designed mixed-use tower.
1 Hotel Austin’s 252 rooms—including 60 luxury suites—span the first 16 floors of Waterline, a new mixed-use tower that is the city’s first supertall. Rooms take advantage of deep balconies available throughout much of the tower to create connections to adjacent greenspace. A rooftop pool deck on the 16th floor, 10,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor meeting space, and a 2,000 square-foot fitness center maximize scenic views and incorporate biophilic elements. The hotel also includes four restaurants including Alteño, from Michelin-starred chef Johnny Curiel.
The hotel is one of several programs layered into Waterline. The 74-story, mixed-use supertall also integrates luxury apartments, office space, retail, and public plazas along Waller Creek in downtown Austin. The tower overlooks Austin’s Lady Bird Lake and embraces its natural surroundings through form and expression, taking inspiration from its namesake.
