With over 120,000 sq. ft. of flexible event space, this is also the perfect venue for hosting business meetings, corporate conferences, and wedding receptions in Austin.

History

Established in 2015.

Once a parking lot and impromptu concert venue for Austin events such as SXSW, the JW Marriott Austin broke ground in 2012 and proudly opened its doors as the largest JW Marriott in the Americas in February of 2015. In our opening year, the JW Marriott Austin has had the pleasure of working with some of Austin’s largest and most authentically Austin events such as SXSW, Austin Fashion Week, and the Real Estate Council of Austin’s annual Fight Night as well as other large industry conferences in downtown Austin. In 2016 the JW Marriott Austin team opened OP Wine Bar, inspired by the traditional Italian cicchetti bars of Venice, to supplement the existing onsite restaurants, Osteria Pronto, Corner, and Burger Bar. In true Austin style, our downtown luxury hotel has not stopped innovating and looks forward to opening a Spa by JW in early fall of 2016.
