    Room was nice, as was pool. Coffee bar was the most disappointing. Coffee was weak (looked like tea when poured) and the complementary muffins were laughable. For the price of the lodging, the coffee and muffins area seemed very low effort. Front desk stated they would text when room was ready (we forgot to request de-feathering) and we ended up have to call the front desk after over an hour to see if it was ready. We’re able to relax at pool with friends while waiting.

    Great location. Efficient valet service even though it was Easter weekend when we arrived so extremely busy. Rooms clean, well equipped, lovely touch of Dyson hairdryer, Aesop toiletries and clothes steamer. Beds extremely comfortable. We didn’t use any of the restaurants as they were a little pricey to use for our whole stay as family of four, but plenty of options a short walk from the hotel.

    The Austin proper is super beautiful. I booked this stay as I was intrigued by the Pilates and yoga offered at the property and called early to reserve some classes but was told to do so at the property. When I got there, I was told they had no class offerings for that time which was a big let down as it was the main reason I booked this hotel. The breakfast was amazing but the room service dinner was overpriced and underwhelming. Otherwise, the overall aesthetic and interior design are top tier. In room products are luxurious and attention to detail was on point.

    Here's what I loved: Design: The Kelly Wearstler interiors are a highlight, creating a luxurious and memorable atmosphere. Every detail, from the lobby to the rooms, is thoughtfully curated. Rooms: Spacious and comfortable, with high-quality amenities and those oh-so-Instagrammable bathrooms. Dining: The on-site restaurants, particularly the Mediterranean-inspired Peacock, offer delicious food and a vibrant ambiance. Location: Situated in the Second Street District, you're within walking distance of many of Austin's top attractions. Amenities: The rooftop pool and bar offer stunning city views, perfect for a relaxing afternoon or evening.

    Stayed at Proper for a long weekend with my friend for a moms’ escape! It surpassed our expectations with the attention to detail throughout our stay. The property is beautiful, but the friendliness, efficiency, and welcoming nature of the staff were incomparable. Thank you for a weekend of feeling pampered and well taken care of. We are so grateful for the time to relax!
