2 Best Hotels in Downtown with Sixth Street and Rainey Street, Austin

In The Proper's first foray outside California, Interior designer Kelly Wearstler spent years traveling Texas collecting vintage pieces for the Austin outpost. The result is a breath of West Coast cool with a hint of spice breezing through downtown’s Second Street corridor. The rooftop deck, lobby lounge, and patio restaurant have become fixtures to local somebodies.

Downtown may have become a step-and-repeat of chain establishments, but The Line is one of the few places that proudly holds on to Austin’s revered musical heritage. This was previously a jazz club that broadcast live on local radio in the sixties. Now a medium-sized hotel with a boutique feel, the strings keep on strumming across vibey social spaces including a lakeside pool, taco shack, and terrace bar.
