PB hotel design editorial

Kelly Wearstler took on the Austin Proper Hotel — her fourth collaboration with the Proper Hospitality group — with a brief that could easily have gone wrong: how do you make a tower in a rapidly developing downtown district feel rooted in a city whose identity is built on informality and the outdoors? Her answer, working within a purpose-built 32-story structure completed in 2019 with 244 rooms, was to let botanical Texas filter in at every scale. The facade's charred-timber and warm-wood vertical screening, planted with desert specimens — agave, yucca, sotol — gives the street-level entry the character of a curated landscape rather than a hotel threshold, e-bikes and a timber valet stand completing the casual register she was after. Inside, Wearstler layered her signature eclecticism with unusual restraint. Guestrooms pair grasscloth wall panels and tall botanical-print headboards in terracotta and gold with vintage-style Turkish rugs, cerused-oak furniture, and globe pendants that nod to mid-century Scandinavian lighting without reproducing it. The bar and lounge press floral de Gournay-style wallcoverings into wood-framed panels beside floor-to-ceiling glazing, skirted armchairs and barrel-back club seating arranged around marble-top café tables in a room that carries the warmth of a greenhouse. The rooftop pool deck, dressed in travertine and teak sun loungers with Canary Island date palms massed behind the pool edge, holds its own against the surrounding glass towers with something close to composure.

"Just returned from a long weekend at Austin Proper. Our experience was exceptional from the moment we arrived. The upscale ambiance is very evident on entering the hotel - great design and decor. We arrived early for our reservation, but were offered an available room, with the caveat that it was a smaller pool-facing room and may be a bit small for a longer stay. We were offered a look at the room and yes, it was on the small side. We chose to dine at the restaurant adjacent to the pool while we waited for a larger room. The food, drink, and service were excellent and we stopped out at the poolside bar for another drink. Great service and smiles there as well. The pool is shaded by an adjacent building until around 2:00 or so - worth noting. Great vibe at the pool. We were headed to our room ahead of schedule. It was nicely appointed and had the most powerful shower of any hotel we've stayed in. Awesome! Bed was very comfortable and the room was plenty big enough for the two of us. Other than some occasional city noise, it was quiet and restful. We also dined in the main restaurant for breakfast which was excellent as well. The bar scene on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday was vibrant and obviously popular not only with hotel guests, but with young locals. The location is perfect, with numerous restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. The area felt extremely safe even later in the evening. We will definitely return when in Austin. All of the Austin hotels have additional fees, taxes, hospitality charges, etc. so I would expect that."

"Always an amazing stay at Proper Austin. This was not our first stay, and most certainly won’t be our last. Every team member encountered was friendly and engaged. Room was comfortable and spotlessly cleaned and the turndown service friendly and prompt. Lobby bar was buzzing and there’s always just a great vibe at this hotel. Room service breakfast (avocado toast and coffee) was flawless and delivery time almost caught me off guard….only 15-20 minutes from ordering to delivery! Muffins in the morning with complimentary coffee service in Goldie’s was a nice touch on our way out after check out."

"Excellent hotel for a luxury stay. We stayed as a family of four as a treat half way though our Texas road trip. The hotel is ideally positioned to walk to shops, restaurants and most attractions. Valet service was efficient, the priciest though of all hotels we stayed at. Rooms were well equipped (Dyson hairdryer, clothes steamer, Aesop toiletries), beds extremely comfortable. We used the cocktail bar and Peacock bar for evening drinks. From Thursdays to Sundays these bars are very busy. Service good."

"Had drinks in the lobby lounge, very aesthetic. Valet didn’t send me my ticket, but Christian got my car fast."

"This hotel is so perfect from the people, the decor, the food and the location. I will absolutely be staying here again the next time we are in Austin. Walk to see the bats, go eat at the food trucks on congress or even close enough to walk UT. The service is truly incredible. From the manager to the spa, daily free offer and GF goodies."
