Canopy by Hilton Austin Downtown Hotel Reviews

Pool & Spa

The pool at the Hilton Canopy Austin was a highlight of our trip! Getting to enjoy some sunbathing while getting to see the downtown views was quite relaxing. They heat it in the cooler weather and even have cabanas you can rent out.

Guests can relax and unwind in this serene setting, complete with comfortable sun loungers and private cabanas available for rent. The seasonal bar by the pool serves refreshing drinks and tasty bites, perfect for a leisurely afternoon. For those looking to stay active, the hotel’s fitness center is well-equipped with everything you need for a good workout. With towels and restrooms provided, the pool and spa area is designed for your ultimate comfort and relaxation.

Canopy Austin Hotel Review: Verbena

When staying at the Canopy Austin, you do not want to miss out on the incredible cuisine. We were so excited to find that their onsite restaurant, Verbena, has their menu from Chef Nic Yanes, who has developed some of the top restaurants in Dallas and Austin. Here you’ll find a Mediterranean-inspired menu that includes lamb steak, Moroccan meatballs, rosti, and so many other dishes that make this place way more than your average hotel diner.

They also have a take on an Old Fashioned, but with tequila. My only regret was not getting to visit on the weekend for some amazing brunch like shakshuka and vanilla buttermilk pancakes. Verbena also offers a delightful breakfast menu, valued for its variety and quality, ensuring guests start their day with a satisfying meal.

Canopy Austin Hotel Review: The Room

The rooms at the Canopy are filled with natural light and modern design, making it easy to make a reservation for a room. I loved the art and the pops of personality with décor like the light purple couch. Additional amenities like a Nespresso machine meant great coffee every morning. It didn’t hurt that our balcony overlooked the pool for an even more enjoyable morning.

The cost of the rooms is reasonable, but be aware of additional fees that may apply, such as charges for Wi-Fi and other amenities.

Canopy Downtown Austin Hotel Review: The Extras

It’s in the small details that make a hotel extra special! Being in Austin, we loved all of the emphasis on health. And because it can be hard to find parking around downtown Austin, we took full advantage of the bikes that we could check out. We got to explore the murals around, bike to different restaurants, and enjoy the healthy activity we got.

Additionally, the hotel offers a business center for guests who need to work during their stay.

And if you don’t get enough fitness from the biking, they have a small, but well equipped gym onsite! For those traveling in a group, the hotel provides options for group bookings and special benefits to make your stay even more enjoyable.
