Hotel The LINE, Austin

111 East Cesar Chavez Street, Austin, TX 78701, United States of America (show on map)

Expert reviews

CN Traveler review:

“The LINE is big. Texan-style big. We are talking 428 rooms big. Though with Sydell’s knack for transforming spaces into landmarks of urban sophistication, it comes off as intimate and considered. The biggest selling point is location. The LINE is in the heart of downtown.”

Featured in CN Traveler’s Best New Hotels of 2019.

Telegraph review:

“The vibe at Austin’s LINE Hotel is Mad Men transported into the contemporary art scene. From arrival at the striking porte-cochère at the front of the property reveals a restored concrete brutalist structure leading into the open lobby sets the stage for drama.”

Interesting alternative hotel.

Location, modern atmosphere with coffee bar, restaurant, Bar and Taco bar. Nice looking lobby.

Single mattress with no box spring was uncomfortable for my older body. The halls were ice cold and it was hard to control room temp.

Very nice

Great location, clean room and wonderful staff. Great coffee shop with very nice people.

Beds were very low to the ground. Also the lobby needs some upholstery cleaning. There were stains everywhere on all the seating. I was thankful it was winter and didn’t need to sit on it with a dress. A quick steam cleaning it would be perfect. Your lobby is your first impression.

Very good

Perfect location, walking distance to all attractions, Rainey street, Sixth Street, South congress, state capital etc The taco restaurant attached to the hotel is excellent. Staff were engaging and extremely helpful in particular the reception and customer service rep.

Pool area is limited and the pool was very cold in mid October.

A great stay if its within your budget!

Stayed there for the second time, there was an event in the hotel so the first night was noisy but they changed my room for the second night. the hotel is in a very good area and in a high level of maintenance.

Noise in the evening because of events but they notified and moved me a room when I complained.

Nice, but a little quirky, in a great location downtown

Staff were really helpful. We were staying under two consecutive reservations, and the front desk did what they could to simplify that for us, and keep us in the same room the whole time. Even had a great view of the state capital. One of the best taco places in downtown, Veracruz, is right off of the lobby. And the Congress Ave Bridge, the one with all the bats at sundown, is right behind the hotel.

I really don't get the point of the convoluted, two-tier design of the bathroom countertops (attaching a photo). It reduces the usable space, and its easy to place things down wrong on it. Water also ends up pooling behind the "plateaus". There is technically a mini-fridge in the room, but it's so stuffed with minibar items that we could barely keep anything else in there. The windows let in a lot of street noise - we were 12 floors up, but could still hear just about every car go by out front. Also thought it was odd, that on hot & muggy days with the AC running, they've got multiple fireplaces going in the lobby for "ambiance".

Great place in center of town

Great boutique hotel with good bar and restaurants. great location. Excellent pool. In room bar, and coffee setup was excellent

difficult to get into restaurants without reservations far ahead of time, especially P6..they should save some spots for hotel guests

Best place to enjoy Austin from

Gorgeous hotel, beautiful room and very modern and spacious bathroom. Friendly staff and Alfreds coffee was a great plus too. The location was probably the best part about the hotel. Valet expensive but friendly and quick.

No smart tv, so no way to watch Netflix or similar. There was one closet next to the bed that couldn’t be fully closed and the automatic light coming from it was therefore on all night and visible. The pool area smelled… interesting. We encountered the same smell later on that evening when looking at the bats on congress bridge. Which the pool was located to very closely. So thats probably what we smelled. But, all in all, these shortcomings were very minimal for us since the stay at The Line was so amazing.

Very good

- Good location for exploring Austin and great location for the Congress Bridge bats. - Pool area is lovely although there don’t appear to be staff collecting empty drinks/discarded towels so pool area could be more presentable. - Amazing Mexican cafe within hotel serving juices/smoothies and food.

We went up to the hotel bar around the time of the bat flight only to be told that the bar and restaurant were fully booked. This was disappointing as we had not been told that as a hotel guest we would need to pre-book.

Pleasant

Cool vibes and great location.

Room phone did not work, no iron, no water in the room. The closet doors swing open rather than slide open so it took up a lot of space. Parking was very expensive.

A great hub for experiencing downtown Austin and relaxing

My city view room and the toiletries were lovely. The bed was so comfortable. I didn't really want to leave the room!

I didn't like that I had to valet and it was a bit difficult to get rid of room service (first world problems helloooooo)

Nice hotel but not worth the price.

Room was nice, but small. Vera Cruz was a nice place for lunch.

Onsite restaurant was closed my entire stay. Too expensive for what you received. You could not see the river from the pool as advertised.

Hip fun hotel.

I love thé Line. My go to for Austin. It’s fun and the lattes and pool are great. Taco bar with great margaritas on premises. And a great view of lake and easy access to downtown and trail.

It’s great. What’s not to like?

Fabulous

The location was perfect for us. The view from the room was great (Lake view). The atmosphere of the hotel was fun. The taco shop is out of this world.

Sorry to say the mattress was not comfortable. Note to management: Time for an upgrade. It would have been nice to have two solid chairs in the room. Plumbing a little slow, but eventually it all went through. All small things for us - we would return.

Good hotel and good location.

Had breakfast in room - very good.

Reception staff were very friendly and helpful, but their lack of knowledge of local restaurants and places to visit was surprising.
