A Hip, Well-Appointed Spa in the Heart of Downtown Austin
A hip spa in one of the coolest cities in America right now, the Away Austin Spa at the W Austin delivers with a unique atmosphere and friendly service. With an accommodating staff that is both welcoming and attentive, the Away Austin Spa is currently one of our top picks for a spa day in Austin.
Service
During our services, the massage therapists were professional, well-trained and offered a glass of sparkling wine after treatment to all members of our party. Consistency of service is a rarity these days, and it was nice to experience such an effort made by the staff of the Away Austin Spa.
Featuring unique treatments like the Nighty Night massage with lavender to help you wind down after a long day, the Away Austin Spa at the W is a relaxing retreat with staff that is both helpful and friendly.
Atmosphere
The relaxation area is a bit tight, but the décor is well-selected, and styled in a manner fit for a spa located at the W Austin: think exotic furniture, woven pillows in bright designs and art deco chandeliers. This modern and relaxing design aesthetic more than made up for the the smallish space and provided for a relaxing afternoon.
Access to the W’s Wet Deck (their rooftop pool) is also included with a spa treatment Mondays-Thursdays, which is a nice bonus – especially on a hot summer day in Texas.
