Character and identity
A 32-story tower in the Second Street District, Austin Proper sits across from Lady Bird Lake with Shoal Creek views, combining 238 guest rooms with 99 private residences. Kelly Wearstler's interiors lean into Texas vernacular through unlacquered wood, cowhide, antique rugs, and a Jenga-like staircase set against gingham ceilings and floral wallpaper. The food and drink programme comes from McGuire Moorman Lambert: Peacock for Mediterranean cooking, La Piscina for wood-fired Oaxacan poolside, the residents-and-guests-only Goldie's, and The Quill Room for caviar and live music. Service is quietly attentive, and the spa, gym, and fifth-floor pool round out a polished but low-key register.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-literate couples and groups of friends in their thirties and forties who want walkable downtown Austin, serious cooking on site, and a stylish room to return to. Lake runners, Peloton devotees, and anyone who wants to rent a Tesla for the day or join a dog-friendly running club will feel at home.
Should look elsewhere:
Families wanting a kid-focused programme, business travellers who need reliably fast Wi-Fi (speeds run slow throughout), and anyone after a quiet resort. The scene skews social and the building draws neighbourhood crowds into its restaurants and bars.
Bottom line
What sets this place apart is the Wearstler-meets-McGuire-Moorman pairing: the design and the dining are the reasons to book, not amenities tacked on around a room. Spend up for the penthouse if you want the 550-square-foot terrace and lake-and-city tub views; otherwise a balcony room delivers the breeze. Book Peacock the night you arrive.
