The Downtown Austin Blog is saying it'll be 353 feet with 33 floors. That would make it one foot below the main roof of the Hilton. That would put it above the roof of the middle tier of the One American Center. The 31st floor of the One American Center is at 358.58 feet. The 31st floor is the last full floor of the building before you get to the first setback on the tallest tier of the building. So in other words, if you were standing on the 32nd floor of the One American Center you'd be just 13 feet above the roof of this hotel.

Downtown Austin Aloft & Element Hotel Proposal for Congress Ave
At last night’s Downtown Commission meeting, we heard from White Lodging on their proposed 33 story, 353 foot, 410 key, dual-branded Aloft/Element hotel at 7th & Congress Ave.
One interesting feature of this proposal is there will be zero parking spaces (excluding ADA requirements) and only three valet spots. This isn’t the first Congress Ave hotel concept to propose no onsite parking.
