Kelly Wearstler, an internationally renowned interior designer, conceived the Austin Proper Hotel with incorporated Art Noveau and Arts & Crafts motifs alongside traditional joinery techniques, textures and materials. The hotel’s lobby welcomes guests by an imposing wooden staircase covered in vintage carpets and dotted with pots by local ceramicist Rick Van Dyke.

The Austin Proper Hotel embraces Austin’s eclecticism with Japanese ‘shou-sugi-ban‘ wooden slats and graphite grey metals; the interiors are a celebration of leaded windows, stained glass, succulent plantings, and vintage Turkish rugs. The Austin Proper Hotel’s check-in area is separated from the main lobby and features a brass ceiling fixture by the artist Massimiliano Locatelli.

The Austin Proper Hotel has 244 rooms and suites designed in rich autumnal colours, with an eclectic mix of ceramics and artwork. The use of hardwood flooring and travertine creates an organic backdrop to tactile furnishings designed by Kelly Wearstler, with luxurious beds covered in Fili D’oro and Bellino linens. The bathrooms are in marble, illuminated by metallic sconces with spacious rain showers and bathtubs.

The hotel’s restaurant and bar feature metal panels in graphite grey, flowing from inside out, blending with the other communal spaces of the hotel. The menu is prepared by McGuire Moorman Hospitality, with the ground-floor restaurant Peacock Mediterranean Grill serves dishes inspired by Israeli and Turkish classics, while the poolside La Piscina is a Mexican-inspired restaurant and terrace complete with a wood-burning grill and raw bar. A fifth-floor rooftop pool deck offers the ultimate chic urban relaxation with panoramic city views and small-batch tequila on tap.
