In place of raising the "final beam," the Austin Marriott Downtown will raise three Garrison Brothers bourbon barrels via crane on the hotel's rooftop to commemorate structural completion. Just like bourbon takes on the characteristics of the barrel and its environment, the Austin Marriott Downtown is taking on the spirit of Austin and the surrounding neighborhood in its final construction stages. The barrels will remain on the roof throughout the duration of the construction period until opening in mid-2020, at which time the hotel's first guests will be treated to an exclusive Austin Marriott-inspired whiskey tasting.\

Austin Marriott Downtown will feature 613 guest rooms, including 25 stunning suites, a rooftop pool and rooftop bar concept with breathtaking views, three bars and two locally inspired restaurant concepts on the ground level. The hotel will also offer more than 60,000 square feet of meeting space featuring an exhibit hall with floor-to-ceiling windows along a 170-foot glass wall. The hotel interior draws inspiration from Austin's surrounding environment, combining natural finishes with inspiring modern décor. A marquee design element of the hotel will be an exterior copper-colored elevator, allowing street access directly to the rooftop pool and bar concept. Additionally, the two-story lobby lounge will be a stylish and premium hot spot for locals and visitors alike.

Located across the street from the Austin Convention Center and in walking distance from famed 6th Street, the hotel is the ideal location for new meeting and stay experiences in one of America's top-rated cities. Parking with 257-spaces is available underground for easy commuter access.
