Set right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city’s center, this four-star hotel is just two blocks above the fabled Sixth Street entertainment district, and only a short walk from the theater district, the State Capitol, and a large selection of restaurants. The Omni’s steel-and-glass exterior shines at night, and houses a soaring, 200-foot atrium. Filled with light, the lobby and interior of the atrium are a serene bubble into which you can retreat, leaving behind the heat, noise, and traffic outside. Refresh yourself with a good night’s sleep in your room, comforted by the blush-colored walls and patterned red and gold fabrics. The balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows keep you connected to Austin’s offerings down below. Start your day with a dip in the sleek rooftop pool. The pool not only allows sun worshipers maximum exposure all day long, but also offers breathtaking views of the city 19 stories below.
