The stylish Austin Proper Hotel situated at 600 W 2nd St. in Austin is the only Texas address on the list and one of only 19 hotels in the U.S. recognized.

“It’s a hotel that delivers the feeling of Austin in an upscale, homey way, while adding something unique to the local community through programming, dining,” wrote Mandy Ellis, a contributor for Conde Nast Traveler, in a review of the hotel.

The 244-room hotel is nestled in downtown Austin, overlooking Lady Bird Lake and Shoal Creek. Amenities include a dedicated spa and fitness center and 14,000 square feet of meeting and event spaces.

Award-winning McGuire Moorman Hospitality is the team behind the hotel’s culinary concepts which include the main restaurant Peacock Mediterranean Grill, poolside Tex-Mex restaurant La Piscina and the Mediterranean coffee shop dubbed The Mockingbird.

After shuttering amidst the pandemic, the hotel reopened on May 8. Consider adding a visit to the Austin Proper Hotel to your post-coronavirus bucket list.
