Multi-million dollar renovations are officially complete on W Austin, the Marriott Bonvoy hotel adjacent to ACL Live in Downtown Austin's 2nd Street District.

The best part? You don't have to book a stay to enjoy everything the social hub offers. With a new coffee shop, restaurant, and cocktail bar, we expect 200 Lavaca St. to be a go-to destination for Austinites for years to come.

The Living Room, situated in the hotel's heart, is an all-day gathering spot for locals and tourists alike. Attached to coffee shop 2nd & Roast and anchored by a trumpet-inspired gold bar, this colorful lobby invites you in to take a business call by day and catch a live music performance (organized by W Austin's music curator) by night.

Formerly occupied by Trace, the restaurant space has been transformed to create a home for all-day eatery Serenade American Brassiere, "where French oak meets the draw of Texas smoke."

Breakfast highlights include the Blue Crab Benedict with Texas gulf crab, soft leeks, and griddled corncake; as well as a wild mushroom + leek omelette, French toast, buttermilk pancakes, and a farmers market bowl.

On the all-day menu, a rotating "crudo of the day" sits alongside mouth-watering dishes like a roasted rainbow beet salad, steak frites, the Serenade burger, and duck confit hash.

Those who dine at dinner will be offered alluring options like the market-price seafood board, stacked with blue crab claws, mussel escabeche, oysters, snapper tartar, mignonette, charred lemon, and compound butter. Main courses include grilled cauliflower steak, pan-roasted sea bass, dry-aged tomahawk ribeye, and grilled chicken paillard.

You know we can't skip happy hour — beverages are discounted by 25% from 3 to 6 p.m. on weekdays. Wander in for a Texas draft beer, wine by the glass, or a craft cocktail like "Oscar Winning Tears," made with Roku gin, herb de provence syrup, lemon, apple juice, egg white, and club soda.

2nd & Roast

Brand-new coffee shop 2nd & Roast was designed as a space for locals and hotel guests to get their morning fill or afternoon recharge before embarking on a Downtown adventure. Locally roasted coffee by Medici Roasters is at the forefront of the menu, which also boasts chef-crafted bites and decadent pastries.

Every luxury hotel needs a swanky cocktail bar and the W Austin delivers with Blue Room, a reservation-only lounge for those seeking an elevated libation in a moody atmosphere. Sip both classic and custom signature cocktails like the "Desert Wish" and "NOLA," dreamt up and shaken by experienced mixologists.
