I was able to visit over the weekend. Hard to imagine another hotel with the basic "Marriott" branding that could come close to this property. Impressive.
I snagged these images from the above, reservation sites:

As it happens I lived and worked hotels in Louisville prior to Austin — they’ve definitely also sharpened their game with Distil. It gets a lot of local Louisville fanfare too.
All of these hotels with poolside service and reservations are making a killing during the pandemic. People feel being outside at a pool is safe and with a lot of parks and bars closed every one I have been to this summer is packed with locals (The Westin, Fairmont, The Line). Many are charging upwards of $40 for a chair for the day and the opportunity to buy $13 margaritas.
They must see dollar signs to open the pool bar almost 6 weeks before the hotel.
I've stayed at this hotel numerous times as a staycation or what have you when I lived in SAT, and I honestly like it better than its purported higher level sister, the JW.
Simple & sleek addition to the skyline but even better on the inside.
