I got a massage from Anthony and he did an amazing job, I left feeling like a brand new woman. He worked on my problem areas and really listened to my concerns. I would highly recommend him! read more

Pam made my pedicure such a wonderful experience today. I treated myself to celebrate my nine-year anniversary at my community, and she made it feel extra special. She shared that she has been with Away Spa for 9 1/2 years, and it truly shows. Her attention to detail, personal touch, and kindness made the entire visit incredible. I highly encourage you to book your visit with Pam. read more

I love going to spas and when traveling/staycationing, I love treating myself to some relaxation time. the staff is incredible. an hour massage is never long enough and I say that every time I book one. The spa was smaller than I thought it would be. It was nice but I guess I was expecting more for what you pay for. it had a steam shower but I was hoping for a whirlpool/hot tub. The woman have a separate lounge area. I don't like that. I get it for privacy but I want to lounge with my husband and relax. Overall it's a nice hotel spa. read more

This is my third visit to this Spa, I always enjoy my time and I love all extras that come with a booking. The staff is always friendly, polite and professional. Getting a Massage? Ask for Anthony! Thank me later :) read more

This place is the best! but don't go there because I don't wanna share. My wife and I go here for our birthdays every year. The men's locker room has a steam room and a cold plunge! Hit that multiple times and combo that with a 90 minute massage and some gummies......DONE Love this place The one thing I would recommend and have always thought would be an easy money maker for them is.......smoothies . Just some frozen fruit blended up. Kinda lack food/snack options. read more

My daughter and I had massages and they were amazing! The staff was very friendly! I highly recommend the Cold Stone facial add-on.

Brought my friend here for a girls spa day but was disappointed. While the massage itself was fine, the facilities were not up to par. The pool was closed due to some renovations so even though we came early to relax by the pool, we couldn't and this was NOT communicated to us ahead of time. There is no wet steam room or a dry sauna, only one steam shower that takes forever to heat up (you have to start it when you get there, it's not like a steam room that's always on). Also no whirlpool or hot tub. For a $250 massage with 20% gratuity, I don't think it's worth it because you can go to a nicer hotel spa that actually has facilities to enjoy. read more

Ahhhhhh! AWAY Spahhhhh! From the moment I entered Patricia was welcoming. The spa is a relaxing little haven with plenty of the expected amenities such as locker room, multiple lounges, and aromatherapy. My therapist Nicole had an extremely therapeutic touch. Some people radiate nurturing and healing with their hands. Nicole is one of them! My body scrub and massage with added on dry brushing and cold stone facial treatments were all sensory treasures. If you come here at a particular time of year you will enjoy the serenity of the waterfall feature of the open pool all by yourself. I left with spa brain, that unique feeling where all of life's tensions and challenges have melted away to reveal the calm the mind craves. H/T to Merilou who helped schedule my treatments via email. For a super busy professional this was so helpful. read more

Extremely overpriced services that just ordinary. I got a 75 minute massage - the massage was good, but not excellent. They charge you for every little added amenity (even extra pressure). There is a steam shower and pool but that's all. No sauna, no hot tub, etc. For the price you pay, you'd think you're paying for an experience but it isn't one. The pool has a VERY loud DJ on the weekends making it a very unrestful experience. There are no hot beverages and no rest area - it's simply a waiting room. read more

Very nice massage therapist, prob best one I've had and very friendly! I only received a massage and facial, very relaxing

I had such an amazing and relaxing experience at AWAY Spa at the W Austin. From start to finish, everything felt personalized and thoughtful. Jesse was incredibly kind and attentive -- they took the time to ask questions and make sure the treatment was tailored perfectly to what I was looking for. I left feeling refreshed and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this spa to anyone looking for a top-notch, rejuvenating experience! read more

This was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish to celebrate my birthday. To start, it's super convenient that there is validated valet for your car. When you first walk into the spa, it smells amazing and they are very welcoming and friendly. You also can't beat the complimentary Prosecco/Mimosas. I decided to have a de-stress massage and add on a cold stone facial. Wow, how have I been missing out on this? Nicole was fantastic. I was so relaxed I nearly forgot where I was. With the spa, you also have access to the gym and pool. I spent a couple hours by the pool afterwards which was beautiful and well kept. I'd highly recommend goin Monday-Thursday as they have 20% off for Austin residents. I had the spa all myself today! Loved using the steam shower as well. Thank yall for the card, warm welcome and making my birthday so special! read more

The Away Spa experience was exceptional. The staff made you feel very welcomed and special. They asked questions to ensure the services were exactly in line with your expectations. They were thoughtful and accommodating - I would definitely go back! read more

Got a scrub and massage, and it was amazing. Loooooooove the away spa! And love that it comes with access to the pool.

Maria is an incredible therapist. Like 11/10 and this is coming from someone who has had many good deep tissue massages.

Excellent visit last minute felt like a spa appointment. When he was great, took me in with a three minute notice and it was excellent read more

Jesse, the Spa Director at the W Austin, was absolutely incredible! We brought a few of our hardworking managers for a little team outing, and he completely customized the entire experience for us. He took the time to ask thoughtful questions about our comfort levels and what we were hoping to get out of the visit. I left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and ready to take on the day. He even took a time to give us a tour of the spa and gym! Such a wonderful experience - highly recommend! read more

AMAZING experience. Jesse at the front desk was so accommodating and helpful. The pool experience was so nice. The masseuses were honestly 10/10 in the spa. I would recommend this day pass/spa package to anyone who asks. will definitely be back. read more

I went for the Walk On massage and Glow body polish. I could not be more pleased. I was treated like a Queen and left feeling renewed. The positive effects from the massage lasted for weeks. read more

Had a fabulous pedicure with Pam! She does a great job at all things nails! Jesse greated us on arrival - was friendly and warm - great vibe from all of the staff from check in to service to check out. Clean and comfortable facilities and the newly renovated W hotel is beautiful! Overall great experience. read more

The Away Spa was a great experience from booking to the day of. We were having such a difficult time finding a place that could service 8 people at the same time and they made it happen. All that got massages were incredibly happy as was I with my manicure and pedicure. They were also sweet in giving me a little parting gift for my birthday with a lovely handwritten birthday card. Oh and the 3 hour complimentary valet was very handy and convenient. Would have easily bumped by rating to five stars if they'd had more than one manicurist. It was kinda lonely doing that on my own, but again they hit it out of the ballpark with being able to accommodate eight individuals with a variety of services. read more

The hotel I was staying at the week of my wedding unfortunately did not have a spa. We took the short trip down to the W after booking four appointments for manicures and pedicures. The waiting area is nice and they have infused fruit water and some small snacks set out to enjoy while you wait. I recommend bringing your own nail polish if you have your heart set on a certain color. Their polish selection is very small. They had OPI nail polish, Kendra Scott, and other one. The nail techs were professional and very nice. They allowed us to choose the music we wanted on their Alexa. They worked well with my three year old niece and accommodated her "lots of sparkle" glitter request. I asked for a small gold band on my ring finger with a rhinestone and they said they were unable to do that. Kind of disappointing considering it was a simple non-elaborate request. One nice thing about the Spa is that if you are a guest of the Spa you get access to the W Hotel's pool. The pool is not kid friendly. I went at noon and it was a full blown party. They need a better system here. I stepped out just to look at the pool after my appointment and a security guard grabbed my forcefully by the arm and demanded to know what I was doing there. When I explained to him that I had every right to be there he got flustered and tried pushing me in the direction of where to get my wristband. I wasn't happy and decided to leave. I'm not sure why it appeared I did not belong there. I recommend the Spa, I'm not sure I would stay at the hotel if this is how they treat their guests. --note: I did not assume I could go to the pool without being told. The Spa told me it was open to me and sent me in that direction. I'm cool with there being security, I am not okay with being grabbed. read more

We've booked maybe 3-4 spa days at Away Spa over the years to celebrate special occasions, and it's always a great experience. Our most recent visit (May 2023) was particularly awesome. The service providers (Sally, Mo, Wendy, Davina, Tami) were all highly skilled and very friendly. I also appreciated the helpfulness of the front desk staff. The decor at Away Spa is serene and relaxing. The only thing I didn't like about our recent spa day was that it went by too quickly! :) read more

I enjoyed several facials and massages - booking process is smooth and seamless every time. The cleanliness, sanitization, and anti-bacterial processes are clearly on-going yet unobtrusive to me as a spa guest. Esthetician is an Davina is an expert and my skin looks so much clearer, smoother, and more radiant. I can tell when my skin needs a boost from Davina! The massage therapists Anthony and Sarah work wonders on my sore lower back, neck, and shoulders. I highly recommend this spa and can't wait to return. read more

Wow, what an amazing experience! I do a lot of spa days and massage trips but this one was for the books! The massage itself felt like it took a long time for 60 minutes and it was not rushed. My trouble spots are gone gone which is rare thus why I have to get massages all the time. This is a first! The pool area is cool to hang out beforehand and the steam room is perfect for after. Then a quick shower to freshen up and a bit more lounging before heading out to enjoy a great dinner nearby. read more

First time here and I was very impressed with everything. Shalon and Patty are super helpful and were great about checking on guests to make sure we had anything we needed. Carrie was my masseuse; she was very communicative and provided a very relaxing experience. I left feeling completely refreshed, will definitely be back! read more

The experience was excellent - from the initial greeting, to the services, through checkout, everyone was super friendly and attentive. They created a special and memorable experience. Thank you all! read more

Last Saturday, I had my first Saturday off in MONTHS and gosh darn it, I was going to treat myself. And treat myself I certainly did. Away Spa was just what I needed. I called on Friday to schedule my appointment and though I'd love to remember her name to give her props, I'm at a loss. She was fabulously patient and she had a wonderful phone manner. This was my first time booking at Away, so she was my first impression and she did a great job. I was booked for a 75 minute massage. Though parking is validated, I walked and unfortunately was running a few minutes behind, so I didn't get much time to enjoy the gorgeous "locker room"/changing room area. It was equipped with a steam room and showers, a locker area for your purse and clothing, and a sitting area with light snacks and refreshments. The lighting was perfect and the decor really helped with the relaxation process. If it weren't for the snotty girl and her friend who were too important in their frivolous conversation to move out of my way in order for me to access the locker area, I would have been just fine. But, I digress. Snotty girls at an upscale spa just comes with the territory. Inside the locker room, the greeter hands you a luxurious bathrobe to slip into and a pair of slippers to walk around in. However, they were out of slippers and I'm near certain the pair I was given weren't clean. These slippers aren't luxurious like the plushy robe. It is made out of plastic, a la jellies shoes style. I'm assuming for the purpose of keeping them clean, though my pair was not. Again, there are worse offenses. Bryan greeted me quickly and he was very polite. Male or female, there's always been a bit of awkwardness for me initially when getting a massage. The whole, we're strangers and I'm going to get next to naked and you're going to rub oil all over me in a dark room takes a few minutes to ease into, but Bryan was definitely professional and talented at what he does. He took the time to ask about any problem areas and occasionally checked in throughout the massage to ensure the pressure was okay and that I was feeling good. He took his time and I never felt rushed. There was only one time to which I was disappointed and that was when he told me time was up. I'd definitely recommend him. After the massage, Bryan offered to get me a glass of champagne or a mimosa, to which I didn't hesitate to accept. Nothing like a free mimosa to top off the experience. He walked me back to the locker room area and I breathed in my new relaxed state. I sipped on my mimosa while I bathed in their complimentary showers with their Eucalyptus shampoo and body wash. I was a brand new person and definitely grateful for the experience. Their rates are higher than others, but after my experience, I won't mind dropping what I did for experience like that. Definitely will recommend to others and sing Bryan's praises to all who ask. read more

I would love to give this spa a positive review, the atmosphere was very relaxing and the masseuses were friendly and professional. The experience was unfortunately turned sour when a friend of mine left her jewelry in the pockets of the massage robe. She noticed the jewelry was missing later that day and called to see if they were found. She checked for updates the following day on 3 different occasions and was continuously met with the same nonspecific answer, that the jewelry was not found. No details were given and it was clear there was a lack of effort in the search for them. We then decided to go to the spa to see if there were any updates. The way the workers at the front desk handled the situation was extremely unprofessional. We were met with hostility straight away by a worker with pink/red hair when simply asking for help to find these expensive pieces of jewelry. The front desk lady was practically screaming and refused to give us her name. She then proceeded to call security on our group of friends. She claimed she felt threatened, when only one person was speaking to her while the rest of us waited outside of the spa. A lot of money was spent at this spa and the W hotel, so to be treated so rudely was extremely disappointing. The jewelry was found after having to ask multiple times and having to practically beg them to take the time to really search for it. Wouldn't recommend this spa due to the quality of customer service. read more

I traveled to Austin for a conference for work. We are usually given several activities and this time I chose the spa option. This was such a great experience from time of check in to departure. The customer service and focus before and after the massage was great. The massage was top notch and relaxing. I walked out and was given a happy birthday box which only elevated the thought that went into customer satisfaction. I hope one day I am in Austin I can return. read more

The site itself could use a larger lounging area because it was a bit crowded when I was waiting to be called in. At this pricepoint, I expected quiet and relaxation start to finish but there just wasn't a lot of room in the space you sit after changing but waiting to be called back. Anthony, my therapist, was excellent, though! Very relaxing and he was attentive. Highly recommend and I would request him again if I went back. read more

I got a gel pedicure with Pam, and she's the BEST!! Kind, professional and very thorough. I am a contemporary dancer so my feet get calloused and beat up from dancing on Marley floors, but when I left my feet looked amazing. The gel lasts for 3 weeks (even on my dancer feet) definitely worth the investment. I've decided this is my new pedicure spot! read more

So, just FYI, they no longer offer a discount for Austin residents. This was the first question I asked when I called to book an appointment. It was a $185 massage for my 17-yo daughter, which I definitely wouldn't have booked if there wasn't a discount. But I was told, yes! there was a discount. She asked for a credit card to confirm the reservation, and then asked if I wanted the credit card charged for the massage or our unit. I told her we didn't live in the building. She said no problem and took down my credit card number. Three days later I showed up with my daughter. We got there about 10 mins early, and I wanted her to have enough time before her massage so she wouldn't have to rush, so I explained that my daughter was getting the massage and asked if she could please take her back to the locker room and then I would pay. The massage was a special treat for my daughter who has been under a considerable amount of stress (therefore the "Peace Out" massage), and I didn't want her to know how much it cost because I didn't want that to affect her experience. Instead of taking my daughter back as I asked, the front desk attendant asked if we were residents of the building. I said no, we were residents of Austin. That is when I was informed that they no longer offer a discount for Austin residents. I was obviously upset since I had already been through this when booking the appointment. She continued to charge me the full amount in front of my daughter, and I had to ask twice more for her to please take my daughter back before she finally did. As it turns out, the person who booked my massage was aware of the miscommunication and had put a note on my reservation that Daniela chose to ignore, preferring to argue with me in person rather than honoring the 15% discount. The whole experience was rather upsetting and embarrassing for my daughter, when all I was trying to do was provide her with a relaxing experience. It was really disappointing. On a happier note, my daughter loved her massage and her technician, Wendy. Thank you, Wendy, for saving the day! read more

Came here with 4 friends for the Travelzoo special. For like $100 or $110 we got a 60 minute massage. My massage was great (Sarah?), but 2 of my friends did not care for their therapist. We tacked on extra time to make our massage an 80 minute massage and then they automatically charge you a $31 gratuity. So the day ran us $160 which for a massage at a hotel wasn't bad. They also validated gratuity. 3 stars was because the couldn't accommodate 4 of us at the same time on a Monday, and we booked about a month in advance. And read on for the pool service.... We spent the day at the pool, which was ok. It was chill which we enjoyed, but the service was sos so. It was the day after ACL so maybe they were recovering from a crazy weekend, but they did not seem too attentive. It won't be the place I go to first for a spa day, but I would do another travelzoo here. read more

Erin ruled and made my Over the Hills and Far Away Led Zeppelin inspired massage so incredibly heavenly and important feeling!! She asked at the beginning if I needed anything in particular to stop spasming or whatever. I had a cramped neck that I could feel in the back and sides of my knees when she worked it out!! I just can't thank her enough!! She really knows how to find body problems and follow them and click them away!! By the end of the massage I felt like a different person, like you could see in my face how relieved I was!! Best birthday present to myself ever!! read more

I cannot say enough great things about Away Spa and its' employees after the experience I had as part of a group of 10 on Saturday morning. Accommodating a group of 10 in a spa can be a serious challenge, but the staff of Away was accommodating, kind, and fun. From the friendly women who greeted us, to the attendants that brought champagne, mimosas, and light bites, to the actual service, I don't have a single negative thing to say. My facial was AMAZING. I decided on the 75 minutes signature Away facial, and it did not disappoint. Davina changed my life in just 75 minutes. I could not stop telling everyone who didn't get a facial that they seriously missed out. I wanted to know about the different products and instruments she used on my face and she explained them and their benefits to me. She asked about my current routine and gave me pointers on how to keep my skin youthful and healthy. She answered all of my questions and left my face feeling brand new. My only regret was not opting for 90 minutes. It was worth every dollar. I have and will continue to recommend Davina and Away Spa to friends looking for the best facial experience and a relaxing but fun time for a group of friends. read more

Currently drinking the "Hell Froze Over" invented by Ashley at the hotel bar. I am serious when I say this may be the best drink I've ever had. Habanero-infused whisky drink with the best chili salt rim you've ever tasted. I cannot WAIT to come back for another. Go Ashley!!! read more

Was told the price for 2- 75 minute massages would be $215 all together. I even clarified on the phone that would be the total for 2. They also confirmed on the phone that they would accept our Spa Finder gift card. When we went to pay they did not accept it, even though it wasn't expired. So we essentially paid over $500 for two sorta ok massages. Be very weary about this business. read more
