ROOST Rainey

  • Location: Austin, Texas, United States
  • Why it’s notable: ROOST Rainey marks the first Texas location for the apartment-hotel brand, bringing 59 chic furnished units ranging from studios to four-bedroom layouts to the Paseo development on Rainey Street. Each unit has a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and access to shared amenities like a pool deck over Lady Bird Lake, coworking spaces, and fitness studios including Pilates and yoga, blurring the line between a short stay and an extended visit.
  • Type of traveler who will love this hotel: People in town for more than a few days who want a kitchen, a washer-dryer, and a neighborhood that doesn’t shut down after 9:00 PM.
  • What’s nearby: Rainey Street is lined with bars and restaurants set in old homes, many with front porches, patios, and live DJs or bands on weekends. Lady Bird Lake’s trails and boardwalk are a couple blocks away, and downtown’s convention venues and music spots are an easy walk.
  • Opening: January 2026
