The Westin Austin

The Westin Austin at The Domain is a major hospitality and event anchor in North Austin’s premier mixed-use development. With 346 guest rooms and suites, this upscale hotel provides a substantial inventory for corporate travel, incentive groups, and regional conferences. Its key advantage is its location directly within The Domain, an area often called Austin’s “second downtown.” This places business travelers and event attendees in a vibrant, walkable, high-energy environment filled with high-end retail, acclaimed restaurants, and the offices of major technology and corporate tenants.

For event planners, the Westin offers a significant portfolio of 17,000 square feet of versatile indoor and outdoor function space. This comprehensive inventory, which includes 10 distinct event rooms, is well-suited for medium-sized conferences, corporate retreats, and social galas. The hotel’s largest venue is the 4,075-square-foot Bluebonnet Ballroom. This modern, pillar-less space is a sophisticated setting for keynotes, trade shows, or large celebrations, capable of hosting up to 450 guests in a theater setup or 300 for a formal banquet. A key feature of this ballroom is its flexibility, as it can be divided into three smaller, sound-resistant sections for concurrent sessions or combined meeting and meal functions.

The 2,000-square-foot Primrose Ballroom serves as an excellent junior ballroom. It is an ideal venue for large breakout sessions, welcome receptions, or private dinners for up to 150 guests. These larger spaces are supported by eight additional breakout rooms, including several executive boardrooms like the Violet and Lantana rooms. These are perfect for focused leadership meetings, administrative hubs for a larger conference, or speaker-ready rooms. The hotel’s event spaces are equipped with modern audiovisual technology, and a professional event management and catering team is on-site to coordinate every detail.

The 346 guest rooms and suites provide a restful and productive environment for group attendees and individual business travelers. As a Westin property, each room is deeply focused on wellness, featuring the brand’s signature Westin Heavenly Bed and Heavenly Bath. The accommodations are designed with a clean, modern aesthetic and feature floor-to-ceiling windows that offer expansive views of The Domain or the surrounding Austin Hill Country. For productivity, each room includes a spacious work desk with an ergonomic chair, high-speed internet access, and ample power outlets. The hotel’s room inventory, which includes several spacious suites, is well-equipped to handle large group blocks and provide premium accommodations for VIPs.

One of the hotel’s most popular features is its heated outdoor pool on the second-floor terrace. This resort-style pool deck includes private cabanas, comfortable lounge seating, and a fire pit, making it an exceptional venue for private receptions, welcome cocktails, or an evening networking event. The hotel’s signature restaurant, Urban Eat.Drink, provides an all-day dining option with a focus on American cuisine and craft cocktails. It serves as a convenient and stylish spot for client lunches, team dinners, or a full breakfast before meetings.

The hotel’s commitment to wellness is also evident in its large, 24-hour WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio, which features state-of-the-art cardio equipment, free weights, and Peloton bikes, allowing guests to maintain their routines. The location in The Domain is an amenity in itself. Attendees can leave the hotel and immediately walk to dining, entertainment, and shopping. This is a significant draw for multi-day conferences where guests want options, and for business travelers who may be working at nearby corporate headquarters like IBM, Amazon, or Indeed.
