Guests of ROOST Rainey receive exclusive access to Paseo’s wellness amenities, including a pool, spa and fitness center with workout studios, along with a selection of elevated on-site food and beverage concepts. As Austin’s newest hotel, ROOST Rainey’s opening provides a modern and flexible stay for both short- and long-term travelers.

ROOST Rainey offers a mix of fully furnished studio, one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartment hotel units, each designed to be a true home away from home while delivering the sophistication and service of a boutique hotel. Each ROOST suite includes a full-sized kitchen, in-unit laundry, the brand’s premium in-room coffee program (with Bonavita coffeemakers and Capresso grinders), a blend of custom furnishings, curated vintage pieces, and access to a 24-hour concierge.

The interiors, designed collaboratively by LV Collective, Method Co and ZZ Driggs, draw inspiration from the history and cultural heritage of Rainey Street Historic District. Layered textures, organic materials, warm tones and custom artwork by Alex Bodishbaugh create a personal feel, with no two units styled exactly alike.

“ROOST Rainey marks an exciting chapter in our continued national expansion, and we couldn’t imagine a better city for our first Texas property,” said Randall Cook, co-founder and CEO, Method Co. “Our goal with every ROOST location is to create a beautifully designed, highly livable space that feels rooted in its surroundings. With the 48-story Paseo building, and Rainey Street as our backdrop, we’re excited to welcome travelers to a hotel experience that embodies the spirit and energy of Austin.”

ROOST Rainey’s guests enjoy access to a comprehensive suite of amenities, including the 12th-floor pool deck, a view over Lady Bird Lake, bar service and cabanas, a fitness center with reformer Pilates and yoga studios, cold plunges, saunas, and two floors of dedicated coworking space with private pods and conference rooms.

Paseo’s Artist-in-Residence program brings rotating cultural experiences to the property, while its food and beverage concepts place guests at the center of one of Austin’s newest culinary hubs. On the ground floor, newly opened Daydreamer Coffee offers a creative, co-working friendly space with warm-toned interiors, natural light, lounge seating, and a menu of coffees and seasonal drinks, along with pastries from local bakery Texas French Bread and a curated wine program. On the 12th floor, Amaya is a casual rooftop dining destination serving modern Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with a focus on shareable mezze and light fare.

ROOST Rainey’s hotel units feature handcrafted details, subtle textures, vintage rugs and natural finishes echoing Austin’s architectural character and the neighborhood’s Mexican-American heritage. Velvet and leather upholstery and handmade tiles are complemented by white oak cabinetry, grey matte countertops, and a statement pendant light over each kitchen island, creating a warm, tactile environment balancing comfort with thoughtful design. Vintage furnishings from Austin-based Four Hands celebrate the property’s regional craftsmanship and sustainable focus, with the project also targeting both LEED Silver and an Austin Energy Green Building 3-Star rating.
