Part of the posh Austin Center office and retail complex, the Omni's spectacular 200-foot rise of sun-struck glass and steel leaves you feeling simultaneously dwarfed and exhilarated. Rooms are far less overwhelming -- they're not especially large, and ceilings tend to be low. But they're attractive enough, in a bland contemporary way, and well equipped. If you need to hole up for a while and...

I frequent Austin for weekend getaways and chose the Omni for the first time, as I got a great rate on Hotwire. First I will say the rooms were small but nice. The housekeeping was very friendly, as were the bellhops. However, the first night I came back to lobby after a night out with friends. I am in my 30s, and not some college kid cruising in drunk from 6th street. Long story short, a...

The restaurant is very quiet which can be a great thing in the downtown area, sometimes you just need to get away. The service was not hurried, the food was excellent as were the cocktails with a small but intriguing wine list. A nice escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Austin.
Pros
+ excellent food with cocktails that compliment
Cons
- very quiet, you may be the only one dining
The OAH was a very nice hotel. I liked the open bar on the main floor. The rooms were better than most and I liked the location. I don't know if I would take my family there, but for a business traveler like myself I thought it was pretty good.
