    It was a beautiful rooftop re-grand opening for Cloud Bar Sunset Soiree. We were welcomed with a refreshing drink, and the ladies were so sweet and kind that they were excited for us to try everything they were serving. I love to find a beautiful rooftop with a view, especially a Sunset view! It's so beautiful! The only thing is, I wish the view was from the other side, more of beautiful downtown Austin. The rooftop is not a large area but perfect for small events or just to hang out by the pool. The Gulf ceviche was so flavorful and delicious The Muhammara was by far my favorite with pomegranate in the hummus. YUMM! For the drinks can never go wrong with a Bee's Knees it's always delicious and the bartender did his thang My friend tried the Pit Mule he said it had a proper balance he really enjoyed the flavor peach/ ginger ale was a good mix. The service was great and fast as well. The management was making sure everyone was happy and that if anyone needed anything. Make sure to check out this rooftop bar before summer ends!

    I enjoyed my stay here. The room was very comfortable, and hotel staff were very responsive to requests. The hotel restaurant/bar, Capital A, fits well with the atmosphere. The location in downtown Austin also makes it very easy to walk to so many places very easily, or to take a quick rideshare somewhere. The Omni stays in touch with you throughout your stay via text. Any text reply you make will be responded to under 5 minutes. The pool is small and on the roof. If you aren't on the 17th-20th floors, you must exit on the 16th and walk up the stairs to access it. There is seating in the bar area, lounge chairs in an open area, and some lounge chairs in a semi-covered area. All this said, my room was not cleaned at all while I was there. My trash was overflowing. I only got clean towels because I texted the hotel requesting them. Friends who were also at the hotel commented that their rooms also weren't getting cleaned. Perhaps there is a staffing problem? I didn't pay the rate I paid to have a dirty room for 3 days. Also, this is a quality hotel, right? Then why do they have single-ply toilet paper? Seriously? Even mid-range hotels often offer double ply. There shouldn't be toilet paper you'd find in a fast-food restaurant in the bathrooms at the Omni. That's just cheap. Also, parking is extremely expensive, but it's all about location and convenience. I found that parking at a garage a few blocks away saved me over $75.

    This hotel had their grand reopening over at their rooftop bar. The weather was perfect and the setup is really nice! Really recommend the tuna tostadas and shrimp ceviche! Staff was really accommodating and hoped get it right to where I needed to be.

    Break it down for a two night weekday stay ... Pros: 1. The room was updated. 2. The views were great. 3. Checkin was fast and friendly. 4. Uber and Lyft drivers are always close. Cons: 1. They were switching valet apps services so getting my car efficiently was difficult. 2. Not enough and small elevators for the number of guests. 3. The hotel store was useless. It contained very little of what you need when you forgot something at home.

    Wow! What a gorgeous hotel. Their parking garage is $60. A day. Front desk is super nice. Gave free drink coupons for the bar. The room is beautiful and the view is really nice.

    Went here for news years eve. Cost about $190 for a GA ticket. Free drinks for four hours starting at 9, 3 bars, and two DJs with dance floors. We had a blast. First time doing something like this and it was extremely memorable. Thanks OMNI!!

    New Years was not well done. Zero seats! Not one! The food sucked... I mean the hot salsa guacamole. Lots of cops. Felt like a herd of cattle. Drinks were ok but the ice was abundant. Music was ok. Just a crummy feeling. No one announce midnight and no champagne was handed out... on your own. Masculine money maker for the Omni... lacked the feminine appeal. Like chairs for sore heeled feet. Dance floor was carpet in the "good" music room.... No fans... very hot... when I sat in the only available seats I was kicked out by security because... idk? Not even a balloon drop?!!! Weeekkkk No coffee no diner... kitchen closed... except for a few... idk?

    They are so accommodating to our group! The staff is awesome and amazing! I have never been more welcomed by a company that is so large. They make you feel as if you're the only person in the hotel.

    This hotel is wonderful. The valet was ready to take my car and the young man in the lobby came out with a cart and got all my and Lucciano's bags from the trunk. Check in was quick and my bags were taken to my room. This is a busy hotel that shares space on the other side with businesses. The lounge was open and friendly. I have Premier club access, which is restricted access to a private lounge with a great view, so I was able to have some great appetizers and an awesome cocktail- now I have been to some high end bars and the Old Fashioned that was prepared for me was excellent. The appetizers were high end as well- perfect for low carb eating. The chicken and steak shish kebabs were outstanding and the crudités were artfully arranged as well. Around 7 P.M., housekeeping showed up to turn down the bed and had a bag of ice and a huge chocolate bar! Very nice. At 3:00 A.M., Luciano had to go potty, so I put on my gym clothes and a bathrobe and took him downstairs. He is beginning to know his way to his favorite tree spot outside! The young man at the valet desk got him a baggie of dog biscuits and a little toy. I asked the young lady at the front desk where could I get hot water for tea and she said she would get me some! She came out in moments with a lidded cup of hot water. What excellent service! There is a complete hot breakfast served daily in the restricted access premier club; I bet it is just as spectacular as their cocktail hour!

    A nicely renovated and clean hotel overall. Excellent lighting in the bathroom, a big plus for doing your makeup. Good coffee and fresh orange juice from the coffee shop downstairs, and the one gluten free option, a blueberry muffin, was decent. We had a nice stay overall but the one thing I can't get past and the reason we won't be back is the lack of free WiFi. I can't remember the last time I stayed at a hotel anywhere in the US that didn't offer free WiFi, including other Omni properties. This felt extra ironic considering they advertise being a great place to work remotely from (which we did for one day, hot spotting from our phone). Although you can sign up for Omni loyalty and supposedly get free WiFi, my husband and I both tried signing up repeatedly and it crashed every time. As a registered hotel guest, you should be able to easily access free WiFi from your room, or at a minimum from common areas. Ultimately, we won't be back here as a lack of WiFi included with your stay is a dealbreaker.

    This is my husband and I second stay here. Last time we had a bigger 2-room with balcony. This time, we just asked for balcony, and boy, was room a lot smaller. It was very odd layout with bathroom directly to right with toilet, shower, and sink. Even with it's triangular shape, it is hard to fit 2 people in there at same time! LOL. And, we notice the toilet was constantly running, and hard to flush (we told front desk upon check out). You walked past bathroom to bed, desk, and small chest with TV upon it. Did not found out until later, that you had open one of the drawers to find coffee maker and cups to use. At night time, just know you ARE close to 6th street and even with thick door or window, you will here it! After dinner, we came back down the lounge and wanted a couple of drinks. Manuel was our bartender for the night. I told him I was drinking "old fashioned' most of the night. He asked if I would like to try some thing new, and we did. OMG, I am glad I did! I will makes these during out HOT summers out here! I started with Johnny Walker black, lemon juice, pineapple, blood orange and orange licqor, and top with ginger ale. Then, he made it pretty with orange peel bird :) ! Manuel...you are a GENIUS! Tell them to put this on their menu! Sooo good! My husband and I had 3 each! The next morning, we had a great breakfast in the lounge next to bar. Limited menu, but food we very good. My husband called down to get valet car. $65 to park overnight...and everybody and brother wanted to get out at same time! It was INSANE! Just know, you will have wait awhile after you call. All in all, I would recommend this hotel.

    This is our first hotel experience in Austin. Although parking was so expensive but we found a public parking near hotel and this free in thanksgiving day. The room is cozy and the bedsheet is clean u need to ask for room slippers from front desk

    Scratched  furniture

    If you stay here, definitely don't do the balcony room. They aren't renovated yet. Much smaller than the regular rooms. We expressed our disappointment and the desk clerk was going to move us until he saw we booked thru Expedia. I showed him pictures of our tired old room and asked him to show me on their website a similar room. He said he couldn't. Beat up furniture, a balcony that's 4' x5' . no room even for a table and chair? Carpet that is torn and frayed. Stains on the lampshade, and scratches on the furniture. I asked to downgrade. They said I would have to call Expedia? I worked in a larger chain in college. Calling Bull! I did call Expedia- showed them the pics and they tried calling multiple times and never answered? Just beware!!

    Is the rooftop pool open to nonguests?

    The Omni Hotel in downtown Austin does have a rooftop pool. It is for registered guests only however.

I'm…read moreholding a star since we received an email saying we got our deposit back Aug 12th and I still haven't seen the funds in my account- but besides that issue it's definitely got a 5 star rating! We actually got married a month prior in MA, but needed to celebrate the occasion with all our friends who live here with us in TX. This event space was perfect for a party on a budget. The view- I mean, come ON, was just incredible, and the backdrop for everyone's photos! People could not stop talking about how phenomenal it was. The process of getting the place was a bit tricky, as I could not navigate their government website to select the date and missed the cut-off time before having to do the lottery. Luckily, not a lot of people were begging for dates in August as the venue does not have air conditioning- so the heat was a bit brutal (but that's Texas!)- but we got it no problem! I ended up calling and the person I spoke to was very helpful. Speaking of air conditioning- or lack-there-of- we ended up renting some swamp coolers (huge cooling fans that run off of ice- but a LOT of ice!!) to help with the heat. There are ceiling fans and a few industrial fans included- but those don't help too much in August! I had a hard time figuring out what exactly we needed- so I'm going to add a quick "plug" for Preferred Climate Solutions our of Hutto, TX. They worked ZPC before and knew how to set things up. Brett even had an extra swamp cooler from an earlier event he let us use. Moving on- because this place doesn't require use of specific vendors- it made it that much affordable. We hired Slab BBQ to cater and Pixster photo booth for fun. For drinks, we filled out the necessary paperwork (some cheap $10ish permit? I can't quite remember) and we're able to just bring in a few kegs and boxes of wine from PartyBarn. Everything went off without a hitch! Good to note- the place provides a bunch of tables. Two huge round ones, a few smaller round and rectangle ones, and some nice cocktail tables we used on the patio. (The cocktail tables and one rectangular were good enough condition to go without tablecloths- the rest require coverings.) For lighting- it was definitely important to us to get string lights on the patio. I realized last minute that getting a few hundred feet of lights was going to be trickier than I initially thought- since I had to consider ones that connected and could manage the power of 300 ft of lights. I used Americanpartylights.com- it worked out great! They included zip ties which is important since it's against the park rules to use tape (holds better anyways.) I found a great diagram of ZPC patio for the light arrangements and measurements (photo included.) It was a perfect celebration and I HIGHLY recommend this space for any event! It has such a cool vibe even without decorations, your set up can be minimal and still look amazing. Plus... that VIEW!

The venue itself has a lively, open feel with an urban backyard vibe and plenty of space to move around, mingle, and actually take in the installation without feeling crowded. What stood out most was how well the space complemented the event. The layout made it easy to engage with the installation while still enjoying the social vibe. They had space for working virtually as well as displays to test some of the technology. There's a nice balance between indoor comfort and that signature rooftop-style setting, which gives it a relaxed but elevated feel. The staff was friendly and kept things running smoothly, and the overall setup felt thoughtfully organized. Whether you were there to focus on the installation or just take it in casually, the environment supported both. The line was somewhat long to get into the event as it was at capacity and could only allow more people as people were leaving the event. I was given a drink ticket and got to try the Patio Pounder with ilegal mezcal, primo aperitivo, tropical citrus, coconut, grapefruit soda. The bartender was efficient even though the lines were long. The cocktail was enjoyable with the balance of smoky and citrus flavors. They also had a variety of food bites available including chips and queso. creamy street corn, and sliders. The food was gone relatively quickly due to the crowds but it would be replenished periodically. Overall, Upstairs at Caroline proved to be a solid venue for a creative SXSW event versatile, welcoming, and very on-brand for Austin's arts and tech scene.

We actually found it pretty last minute and decided to go early since we knew we'd be taking photos and didn't want to deal with crowds. When we arrived, it was pretty quiet, which honestly worked out perfectly for us. The décor is bold and eclectic in the best way, think velvet booths, curated gallery walls, low lighting, and these amazing feathered chandeliers that tie the whole space together. We ordered the Tiger Lilly cocktail and the Elote, both were fantastic. The drinks are not only pretty but good, which isn't always a given in places that are more vibe-forward. Ours were balanced, flavorful, and well-presented. The DJ was there, early, which was a nice surprise, it gave the whole place some life without being overwhelming. The staff was super kind, especially the manager who came by to check in and even gave us a little background on the space. We appreciated how welcoming everyone was. We heard that the night before had been packed, so it sounds like this place definitely fills up later at night. We're looking forward to coming back when it's livelier to get the full experience, but for a chill early visit focused on ambiance, great service, and creative drinks, it absolutely hit the mark. Pro tip: If you're someone who loves a visually aesthetic experience and wants a place to snap a few pics before the rush, go early like we did. Can't wait to return!
