AUSTIN PROPER HOTEL AND RESIDENCE
History & Story
Austin Proper joined the downtown skyline in 2019 with a 32-story building that merges a 244-room destination hotel with 99 exclusive residences. The sculptural new construction integrates the work of award-winning Handel Architects and interior designer Kelly Wearstler in a progression of atmospheres including two pools, 14,500 square feet of event spaces, and multiple dining concepts by McGuire Moorman Hospitality. In step with Austin’s natural lifestyle, the hotel is the only LEED® Gold certified hotel downtown which minimizes footprint and maximizes sustainability. To promote wellness for those who stay and work with Proper, these rigorous environmental standards extend from water use (reclaimed irrigation systems, in-building chilled water loops, centralized boilers) to low-VOC paints, energy-efficient LED lights, and insulated dual-pane windows that save energy and block UV.
