AUSTIN | Canopy by Hilton Austin Downtown | FEET | 6 FLOORS | COMPLETE
 

New hotel proposed in W. 6th Street, where the bar 219 West used to be. The article is showing a ground-floor restaurant too.

The only other Canopy hotel is in Reykjavik Iceland. So this is pretty exciting for a new boutique.

The only other one currently open...is in Reykjavik, Iceland.

However, their are two opening late this year in the Washington, D.C. area and one in Dallas. In 2018: Portland (OR), Ithaca, London (UK), Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, Atlanta, Toronto, San Antonio, and West Palm Beach

In 2019: Charlotte, Baltimore, Columbus and Hangzhou

Is this supposed to be Aloft competition?

The pics of the HC in Iceland are pretty cool.

Yep, agreed. Especially because of the CVC limitations, we're probably likely to see something closer to the Icelandic version rather than any of the other American renderings, which are all mid-rises or taller.

No, not really. It's one of Hilton's boutique brands. When comparing it to a Starwood brand, it's a bit higher than aloft, but, maybe, a bit lower than a W (if that makes sense).

Canopy is listed right below Hilton's Conrad brand and above their mainline Hilton brand on Hilton.com. It says it is the "fresh, neighborhood hotel."

Crossposting Flatiron's post in the update thread.

More info was added to the site plan application today:

2 underground parking levels

In case anyone was wondering...

This tidbit from the last site plan update indicates that it is either 5 or 6-stories:

Looks like it fits the area quite nicely. Always love Lake Flato's intimate designs and close attention to detail.

Nice use of a capital corridor lot. Probably deserves the credit for the underground parking.

I like it! Great infill project!

Would you want to have the room overlooking the Rio pool lounge or not?

This is a go. Summer groundbreaking.

Awesome news, thanks for posting! I can’t wait to see this project done.

This project will really help the fading W. 6th St District. According to the ABJ the groundbreaking is planned for July.

I wonder why Hilton doesn't list it on their locations/upcoming page.

Looks like SA is getting one too.

Hotel websites always seem to be a poor source for new hotel info. By the time they post about new hotels, there is always a lot of news available from other sources.

That S.A. Canopy is really nice. Austin's is limited by a CVC, but it replaces an eyesore and will be a big boost to that area.

Portland Canopy
 

Here's a look at the new Portland, Oregon Canopy.
