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

[Geckos_Rule]

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?

[urbancore]

The pics of the HC in Iceland are pretty cool.

[We vs us]

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.

Is this supposed to be Aloft competition?

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."

I'm not sure where to put this one. It's on the 600 block of W. 6th

More info was added to the site plan application today:

140 Rooms
2 underground parking levels

[The ATX]

In case anyone was wondering...

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

Cover page under “Intended use of floors” shows floors 2 thru 5. Plans indicate this is a 6 story building. Please confirm and correct as needed.

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

[freerover]

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

[GoldenBoot]

I like it! Great infill project!

[Maximusx1]

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

[AustinGoesVertical]

This is a go. Summer groundbreaking.

[masonh2479]

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

[The ATX]

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

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.

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

[the Genral]

I kinda like theirs better.

[Sigaven]

I kinda like theirs better.

I think ours will look very nice. It's smaller scale so it fits better with its location, and Lake Flato (the architects) are a very good design firm and I think will produce something beautiful.

[The ATX]

The tower crane permit has been filed already.

Ooh, is that brick I see?

[Sigaven]

Indeed....architect is Lake Flato, so this will be a top-notch quality building.

[corvairkeith]

I like the scale of this building for the area. I also really like the brick and window treatment shown in the rendering, also those balconies kinda mimic fire escapes. I think this will be good for that stretch of West 6th.

Agreed, this is a nice building and really looks to be the perfect height for the area

I do too but it will transform the neighborhood. Just like Seven forced Rio to turn down the music, and the Westin went after some bars, Star, Concrete cowboy and the rest will need to quiet up a bit. Not sure if that is god or bad?

[Urbannizer]

So the demolition ceremony was just that..a ceremony. There are barricades and signs within the structures so I'm sure actual demo is imminent. Will check back next week.

This site was incredibly active today. JE Dunn is blowin' and goin'!

[Jdawgboy]

I hope the hotel will be sound proof. We do not need another Westin debacle when it comes to the surrounding entertainment venues.

[We vs us]

They’ve rerouted traffic and fencing is up. Hard to tell if they’ve started demoing but there’s heavy machinery on the lot.

[Flatiron]

I found the appropriate thread. Sept. 13th:

Off topic but I've been wondering what's going on with Ten Ten and the whole entertainment/bowling/club complex? It's been sitting there with no more work being done on it for a couple of months now. Any word of issues???

Opening in June:

[Jdawgboy]

It looks good. I can see that they made that extra effort in build quality. I don't think there will be issues regarding sound with this unlike the Westin when they opened. It fits well with its surroundings to the point that if one didn't know otherwise, could be a building that was there all along.

[atxsnail]

https://imgur.com/XNpJ657.jpg

that duct work is wild

[We vs us]

I really like this one, primarily because it's such a good example of the type of CVC infill we should be pursuing/incentivizing.

[Sigaven]

It adds some good healthy mass to that street without feeling too overpowering.

[Speculator]

The sign is up. See the southwest corner.

Apologies for the poor quality.

Boy howdy, in normal times this thing would have unbroken stretches of 100% occupancy. What a great place for a hotel like this.

[MichaelB]

this is such a well scaled design. Walk on by it!

I'm a huge fan of high quality brick work on modernist buildings. Looks great.
