Why it’s worth traveling for…
A landmark mid-century boutique hotel in the heart of Texas’ buzzy capital, The LINE Austin was once a vibrant jazz club that broadcast live on local radio in the 60s. Positioned at the crossroads where Town Lake meets downtown, the hip designer hotel draws influence from the creative energy that fuels the city, its rich legacy in art and music, and the natural beauty of its surrounding lake. The hotel’s hip suites, situated from the seventh floor up, have floor-to-ceiling windows to showcase the views of downtown Austin, walls lined with original artworks by Texan artists, custom lighting reminiscent of fireflies, and vintage library books. Among the many highlights is the saltwater infinity pool where you can enjoy poolside DJs and sweeping views of the lake and Congress Avenue Bridge. Dining is also the hot ticket here from the hotel’s signature lakeside restaurant Arlo Grey serving nostalgic Midwestern cuisine, P6, a rooftop parking garage in its past life today it’s a trendy open-air lounge space serving Mediterranean small plates and seasonal cocktails, and the killer tacos at Veracruz All Natural.
