We decided to stay at the Archer for our wedding night, and it did not disappoint. We did have to switch rooms at first, though, due to our original room facing Rock Rose Avenue and catching the bass sounds of all the bars until 2am, so just be wary about that if you're a light sleeper or have trouble falling asleep. Once they were able to accommodate us and switch us to a different room, everything was smooth from there! The building is beautiful and the restaurant attached, Second Bar + Kitchen, is delicious. The rooms are modern and spacious and comfortable. The bathrooms are well stocked and the showers are nice. My favorite things were the daily sweets/treats left for us: Bakery Lorraine macarons and Sugarfina peach tea gummy bears (+ the classic salted caramels). They also included robes and his and hers slippers in each room, which was cute! Service was as expected - the front desk hosts were polite and the valet guys were efficient. Be wary that valet costs $30/day, on top of your room charge (a bit insane to me considering the Domain is packed with free garage parking literally everywhere, but I guess if you value that extra service). With your room stay you do get a 1-time $25 credit to the restaurant, which, if you go during happy hour 3-6pm, you can easily order everything on the menu for a steal! Overall, it was a nice stay and we both enjoyed it. I'd love to go back sometime for another special occasion and get a suite. read more

Worst hotel I've ever stayed at. Room not ready.... A/C not working and next day NO water in building. Should be shut down

So, I'm kind of in shock right now. It's 4:30pm in the afternoon and I stopped by the front desk to ask if housekeeping could get to my room as it hadn't been made up yet. The reception staff asked if I would like my bed made up as part of the service. Is it just me or is that something you would expect as part of a typical housekeeping service in a four star? I guess maybe go with Airbnb next time and lower my expectations of a four star hotel? read more

Had an amazing stay here this past weekend. We were thinking of staying here and surprisingly found package on their website that gave granted us a discounted rate, late check out (1pm), and a $50 credit to their bar and restaurant. Was perfect for a couple getaway! Check-in process went very smooth. A very nicely designed hotel. Our room was spacious and the bed was super comfortable. The shower was really nice. The lighting was a bit too dim for my liking but it was a vibe. I wish the TV was a smart TV which some 2- & 3-star hotels we've stayed at in the past have had. Not a big deal though. We ordered room service and it was delivered to us fairly quickly. Food was great! Parking: they offer valet parking but there is also complimentary designated parking. Noise: I've seen reviews that the bar scene nearby can get really loud but we didn't have an issue. We were also facing the north area so that factors into it. Domain is a great area for food, shopping, and nightlife so you can't go wrong with the area read more

Staycation? Absolutely choice location. The job had a "Kick-Off" meeting here in late February. Although we live in the city, I thought why not just spend a couple of days at the hotel, rather than driving the 18 miles back home. I knew we wanted to venture out, have some fun and be up late. The Domain itself, I will need to review, so I will chat about the hotel itself. What a afab stay. Two things make up a great stay. The staff and the hotel itself. The hotel is beautifully appointed. We had a king suite with a balcony, which for the first time ever, was bigger than the pictures on their website. Patio was plenty big to have a few friends over to hang out for cocktails, before venturing out into the Domain. The room had everything thing we could think of needing. Very comfy bed and pillows. Coolio bathroom fixtures. Comfy bathrobe, slippers and coffee machine thingy. Big ol telly, neat belt/leather wall fixture behind bed. Quiet at night. Wifi worked all the time. I am not sure that there is anyting missing here at all. Several places to have a drink and munchies as well as din din. 2nd Bar Kitchen had a menu that suited our tastes and a bar area which we found difficult to leave to go out. Our conference facilities were on point. They served us a working lunch which was dope. Great service in such a somewhat tight set up, companies fault not the hotels. It was early spring, so some areas were not open, which makes sense, like pool area. It did look incredibly inticing. It has a very well thought out lobby area with a nook here and there, a grand staircase and posh meeting rooms with all the new tech stuff. Staff. Excellent. You know it has to be a bit hard to wait/serve folks who are happy and relaxed since they are NOT working. Or unreasonable folks who think they invented water. They get all of that. Me, I'm a bit nuts and carefree. The joker if you will. Everyone who came in contact with the wife and I were fun. They could read us well and had fun with us. Very personal and not fake. Young bartender guy in the lobby bar, was the son of some High School friends from the late 70's in Austin. Incredibly knowledable about the menu, I believe he is the son of Chef Scruggs from Austin, friendly but not in our face trying to be our friend. Front desk folks, quick, efficient and helpful. Remembered little things about our conversation when we checked in and checked with us when they saw us out and about. Everyone seemed to want to be there, even if they were working. Job done Archer. As soon as the world get's back to some assemblance of normalacy, we will be booking a long weekend again. Top job guys.... read more

Archer Hotel Austin - Hotels Near Me - Austin, Texas

Great hotel! Especially if you go with I higher end one bedroom suites!Pricey, but a cut above the rest!!

WOW! We spent the weekend in the Domain area and stayed at the Archer. It was lovely. The staff was always friendly. Very clean hotel. The rooms were nice, and the bed was comfortable. James always greeted us as we passed by the front desk. Once, he noted we were waiting by the coffee bar for a prolonged period as it was empty, and he quickly walked across the lobby to refill the coffee dispenser. He didn't have to do that. He made the stay extra nice. Super friendly. Definitely will stay there again. read more

Extremely disappointed in the level of customer service at check in. Someone else made our booking, so when we presented our card, we let them know it was just for incidentals and to charge the card at booking for the room, but they would not do this. They said it was because the card used at booking could be fraudulent? It made zero sense. Apparently you have to jump through hoops and get someone to fill out a pre authorization form to do this. My name was on the reservation. It's like they were accusing me of using a stolen card to make the reservation because I didn't have that card on me. Mind you, the person who made the reservation shared my last name! Like come on. This policy is not clear at booking so just an FYI to anyone else who may find themselves in a similar situation. Updating to add that the towels are scratchy and they do not have in room entertainment. They have a minibar, but it's not big enough of a fridge to hold anything else. The pillows are very soft - they sink down immediately upon laying on them. The soak tub looks cool, but they don't include shampoo and conditioner- that is only located in the shower through a dispenser. Noise. It's not great. We could hear the bars and cars until 2/2:30. Then we had the unfortunate experience of staying next to some people who continued the party till after 3 at a very loud level. The walls are paper thin - the rooms have very poor insulation. You will hear everything! All this is to say, I don't think this hotel is worth the price point. The amenities and customer service is lacking and unless you are here to party, it doesn't make for a very peaceful stay. read more

I've stayed here twice now and have not had good experiences. I've encountered multiple rude members of the staff, I've been hung up on multiple times, ive noticed the beds weren't properly clean and had a bunch of little hairs on them. Just appalling stuff. One night, I called and asked when the pool closes and was told it closes at 11, it was 6PM when I called and asked. When I went to the pool it was open, but when I stepped out for a moment to use the restroom a member of the staff had locked the pool behind me. Room service never answered the phone when I called, despite the fact that I went down to the restaurant and saw first hand that there were staff members available to answer my calls. I even called from downstairs to check and watched as the staff just ignored my call. I ended up ordering food in person and the staff was once again quite rude, giving me a bad attitude for reasons I can't understand. Overall, I can't in good conscience recommend this place. read more

Our daughter goes to UT. Between visits to the school, parent weekends, and soccer tournaments prior that we have spent several nights in Austin hotels. They have all been mediocre at best, but all pretty expensive. The Archer is now our favorite. It is a nice property in a good location. We did have a couple of complaints. The pillows are not great. They are way too soft. The Second Bar + Kitchen restaurant is very good (see separate review). However, the last day of our stay we tried to eat breakfast. We entered a mostly empty dining room and were told we would have a 20 minute wait because they only had one server. I don't like to beat people up for staffing issues right now, but it was the way is was handled. The solution by the staff was to send us to another restaurant around the corner. read more

This place is amazing. Stayed there over Presidents' Day weekend and it was worth every penny. The valet were cordial and polite as well as very welcoming. The front staff at check in and checkout were super friendly making us feel right at home. This hotel is in the middle of everything. From shops to bars to restaurants, once you park or arrive, you can walk to everything. Plan on going back and staying here again. Only issue was the tv didn't work properly, outside of that, 10/10 stay and experience. read more

A shining start in the hospitality field.. the Archer Hotel is a full service upscale retreat located right on the edge of the bustling north side Domain. So there are lots of food and shopping options all within walking distance. Literally you would not have to lift a finger from the time you drive up to the time you leave. Valet parking, they will bring your bags up, they turn down your bed, they will bring you just about anything you want while staying here, and then when you're ready to go they will load it all back in for you! The rooms range from a normal hotel room, to a suite, to a deluxe with a four post bed and a luxury tub, to full on living room and bedroom options. All that I saw was lush luxury everywhere. The pool is on the second floor and must be cooled as it was pleasant even with every day having been well over 100 degrees lately. It wasn't bath water... it as refreshing. It is not a huge pool but it is a great place to kick back and relax while watching the game on their huge screen TV! There are cabanas, umbrellas and plenty of lounge chairs; just about any option. There is even a full bar and food selections... the spicy salami pizza was the bomb diggity! Literally... you want ice in your cup... they'll get it, order food... they'll bring it, need the umbrella adjusted... they will do it. A truly great way to spend a day! They even have a pretty nice restaurant right in the lobby... but that is a different review. A great stay, with wonderful amenities, the Archer will satisfy your need for relaxation and pampering! read more

Love staying here, been here before and glad we came back. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. Very accommodating, the valet staff was great too! I recommend this place to my friends and to anyone looking for a nice place to stay while visiting Austin. Will come back again, even our child gave them 10 stars, handwritten to the staff! read more

This was an amazing beautiful hotel that is a blend of luxury and artsy feel of Austin. From the entrance with the grand chandelier to the room art painting and complimentary water and candy, the hotel was super nice. The room was super clean with very nice bathroom and shower slippers. The bed was super comfy and the sheets/comforter were of high class. Overall, it was a great experience. It is pricey but if you want to try the experience, i think it worthwhile. PS: the restaurant and bar in the lobby served room service and were stellar. It is near all the local shopping and restaurants in the area so be sure to check the places out. read more

We were visiting my son who lives close by the Domain and decided to stay at the Archer hotel in North Domain. The hotel is close by Nordstrom's, Apple store, and Sprinkle cupcakes. On the side of the hotel is the valet and basically drop-off and pick-up. As you walk in the lobby it's basically connected to restaurant Second Bar + Kitchen. The front desk is basically three different stalls. Very nice. They took a little while to get me checked into my two rooms but it was fine. The security at this hotel is very good. On the elevator, you have to scan your room key in order to go up to the room floors. The halls are very clean and kept up very well. The room is very nice. Not big and we had a king size bed. Very modern room with a long desk table and a long bed bench. The bathroom is nice with lot of sink space. The shower is very nice. Very roomy with a shower bench. They turn down you bed at night and leaves little treats on your desk table. We got little cookies, little muffins, and even chocolate one night. Everything is great. The halls are very quiet but the only problem is the noise level during the night. We were on the seventh floor and you assume it's nice and quiet but when we went to bed we could here low levels of music being played til 2am. Found out that the music is from a bar close by. So it takes a little while to get used it but finally got to sleep. Stayed there three nights and every night the music was playing. Check-out is only by the front desk but other than the music being played at night then it's a pretty good place to stay. Very convenient and lots of things to do around the hotel. Not sure we will stay there again but we will see. Enjoy read more

Archer Hotel Austin - Hotels Near Me - Austin, Texas

Beautifully appointed boutique hotel with luxe features and accommodations! They have one dining option, a small boutique hang-out pool with TVs and seating area as well as outdoor bar service (this wasn't open while we were there since it's early in the season but they said you can order dining and they'll bring to you at poolside), and a fitness area. We didn't partake in pool or gym, but they looked lovely. The room had very nice bedding, mattress was comfy, room was spacious. We were upgraded to a double king (we booked a double queen) by GM Rick, which was very kind! Water pressure was great, rooms were very clean, everything was well kept. They provide robes and complimentary slippers. Room had a Nespresso machine which was delicious, and complimentary bottled water. They also had a fully stocked bar and snacks for purchase. I gave 5 stars because I believe they deserve it, my only complaint would be that the AC didn't stay on or go down to what we had it set on, so my partner and I kept waking up hot in the middle of the night (we're hot sleepers and like it cold at night). If they could adjust/fix this it'd be a home run for us! Definitely would stay again! read more

First time visiting Austin and I've got to come back to the Archer next time I'm in town. All of the hotel staff were helpful and friendly. Amanda at the front desk was awesome! The hotel is very modern and stunning. The lobby has two fireplaces and around the corner there is a restaurant/bar area. The room was incredible. Bathroom was large and had everything including robes and slippers! In the room on the desk by the tv they are sweet enough to leave you two bottles of complimentary Fiji water and mini Bundt cakes and sweets. I was amazed! They have a mini fridge stocked with drinks and snacks. There's also a coffee machine. Oh and even some alcoholic beverages! All around amazing experience and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Austin! :-) read more

Excellent hotel! We decided to stay here during a trip to Austin and it was lovely! From the moment we checked in to the whimsical slippers in the room to the tasty treats each day to a smooth check out, it was a pleasure to stay here.

Trendy and fun boutique hotel Stayed in the Archer in the Domain area for a few days, on a business trip. It was a good stay. Conference facilities aren't large, but are modern, quiet, and well-designed. The food was very good and service staff were all friendly. The location is away from downtown and the airport, but the Domain is a trendy area. The rooms are very comfortable-- quiet, awesome bed, and seem super clean. They are a tad smaller, have modern art touches, and the showers have room for three. The room staffs were especially friendly. One extra nice touch is that the Archer left me gifts of dessert each night. So, the are totally high on my list, now. Bottom line: Great service and staff, plus nightly mini-desserts. A+ read more

Great hotel in a cool area! Service good! Clean! New! (As of Oct 2017- Hotel was 24 months old) Rooms were pretty cool- I hear they are all pretty different. My friend had a huge tub and balcony. I had 2 king beds, no balcony, and a shower. Pool area was a bit disappointing- small pool, no hot tub. Though they did have some outdoor fireplaces going- which would be nice to enjoy in the evening. read more

A quick staycation led us to find this great hotel in a perfect location at the Domain. We were pleasantly upgraded to a king suite for my birthday and surprised with Sprinkles cupcakes from the hotel. The hotel is gorgeous- well maintained and modern. We spent the day at the pool, which had several sports events playing on the big screen. We absolutely loved lounging in the pool and watching tv all day. Drinks and food from their restaurant were excellent. We would easily stay here again. I highly recommend this hotel! read more

Pros: The hotel was clean and the rooms are comfortable. Location convenient to the Domain if you want to walk to Whole Foods, restaurants and shops, but requires a drive to get to downtown Con: While staff was nice to my face, a handful of us checked into the hotel after the check in time within a span of 3 hours. I and my non-white colleague had the lower floor rooms while our 4 white colleagues had higher floors and one had an upgrade (we were all at the Archer for the first time). I am a Marriott Titanium status member with status at Hyatt and Hilton and travel constantly for work worldwide, this may just be a coincidence but it didn't sit well among any of us when we found out who had the higher floors and upgrade. Will take our business elsewhere in the future read more

This was the perfect hotel for our girls weekend!! We booked the Momcation at the Archer and we loved everything about it. From the minute we walked in we knew it was the perfect hotel for our weekend. It's gorgeous, clean, staff is amazing, beds were super comfy, close to shopping and great food!! Julian was the manager and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great weekend. We highly recommend the Archer in Austin for a relaxing weekend. You will not be disappointed. read more

Modern rustic with all the personal touches. This is by far the best hotel experience I've ever had--and tied as my fav hotel of all time. They did it all seamlessly... friendly welcome by staff, efficient check-in and check-out, crisply contemporary room & amenities, thorough knowledge of the local scene, engaging art and comfortable lounges, pool with a view, a well-stocked gym, and my favorite part... a new, locally-made treat left in your room every afternoon. The Archer's location in the Domain makes it an amazing place for travelers to stay... you're within walking distance of several amazing restaurants, shops, & in the middle of several "blocks" of beautiful open spaces where people walk around & gather. Yet somehow, when you're in the hotel, you feel away from it all. I'm rating this hotel at 5, but would give it a 4.5 if I could. The reasons: the restaurant's food is good not exceptional, and enough of the nightlight shines through the translucent glass bathroom door that the room will never reach pitch black... a sore problem for those who require such a space to sleep well while traveling. read more

Absolutely gorgeous hotel, great service, full bar/restaurant, rooms were very nice and super clear views from the 7th floor. Really nice sheets, topped bed, welcome snacks, candy and water and most of all VERY walkable to fun bars, retail stores, and activities. Highly recommend and worth the cost premium! Pay for what you get here! Staff did an incredible job catering and setting up all accommodations for all day meetings and breakout rooms too. Really yummy food on site. read more

Beautiful property. Amazing amenities. Stayed here recently for a birthday staycation, and I seriously wish I'd done it much sooner during this quarantine. I had serious reservations about staying in a hotel during the current pandemic crisis. However, upon arrival all those concerns I had quickly disappeared. Social distancing in the common areas (signs on the floor for reminders), hand sanitizer stations throughout the property, as well as signs near and inside the elevators to remind you of the 2 person limit. All staff members were observing the mask order. I still traveled with lysol wipes to wipe down door handles, light switches (and other touch points in my room)--however that was for my peace of mind...lol Walking into the lobby with the gorgeous chandelier and staircase is quite the first impression. Front desk staff were courteous, informative about the hotel policies, and amenity hours, and very welcoming. I was upgraded to suite for my birthday which was a nice surprise! The room itself is modern and every comfortable. I had to google to find out what the mattress was on my bed because it was *that* amazing. Cute slippers, cozy robes, stocked mini bar, luxury toiletries--all nice touches. Had a few minor issues with items in my room, however the staff came right up and took care of those. Every one who I encountered at the Archer were top notch! The pool and pool patio was very relaxing. I spent a great deal of time out there, and while I missed the hours that the poolside bar was open I know that it only would have added to my experience. You almost forget you're right in the middle of the Domain. This hotel was a five star experience. Sadly, I can only give 4 stars due to the onsite dining option which I'll review on their page. It was truly the only thing that kept this from being a perfect experience. Thanks so much for the getaway. See y'all again sometime soon! read more

My wife and I just gave birth to our beautiful daughter at the St. David's Women's Hospital that's right by the Domain. Our daughter was in the NICU and we were being discharged while she would still be at the hospital. Due to COVID we were also only allowed one parent at a time to visit, and with us living in Pflugerville, it would have been a long drive to visit and exhausting. We decided to book at this hotel since it was the closest to the hospital and got the cheapest room we could find close to the elevator since my wife was still recovering. When we got to the hotel everyone was very hospitable and kind even though we did not look our best. When the man at the front desk asked how we were doing, all we could say was tired and briefly explained we were needing to go back and forth to the hospital for our daughter. He clearly showed his kindness and empathy and gave us our room key. When we got to our room, it was not anything we were expecting at all. From the pictures we saw on their website, we were expecting a small room with a big enough bed for my wife and I to rest comfortably. Instead we were given one of the hotels King Suites with a great view, fireplace on the porch, massive living area and TV, and comfortable king size bed. We thought we made a mistake when we ordered our room, so my wife called the front desk to explain that there may have been a mistake, to which the front desk said we were upgraded but paying the price for their smaller room. It was the nicest and most unexpected thing we ever received and helped keep our minds clear of the hurt and pain we've been feeling with our daughter at the hospital. We only stayed two nights there and even though we weren't at the hotel long by going back and forth, we were given great service and hospitality from the entire staff! Our daughter is home with us now and is 100% happy and healthy. I wish we got the name of the man working the front desk on November 23rd at around 7pm, but because of him, he lifted our spirits on a weekend that had been very emotional for my wife and I. For that I say thank you! read more

I am excited that a place like this exist in Austin Texas. The only thing that would make this hotel an absolute game changer is complimentary breakfast buffet and social happy hour. But even without all that, the sustained service from arrival to departure was consistently excellent. Hats off to the staff. Cleanliness of the room and the extra mile they went to accommodate my husband for his birthday is AWESOME! They gave us sprinkle cupcakes. They had complimentary bath salts. They gave complimentary mask when we forgot! Full tv channels and nice size tv. I could've took more picture but this is just one you gotta see for yourself. I stay in a lot of hotels and I've just added this to the list of FAVORITES! read more

Archer Hotel Austin - A piece of heaven - Hotels Near Me - Austin, Texas

The services at this hotel were very good however the location, for us, wasn't perfect. This hotel is located pretty far from the main downtown area of Austin. If you are in Austin as a tourist this probably isn't the best option for you. It is located outside of the downtown area in a planned community, surrounded by chain stores and restaurants. You aren't going to get a lot of local flavor here. That being said, the room comfort was exceptional. Comfy beds and good showers. The pool patio was great but had more potential. It felt like being on a large cruise ship with the huge TV screen over the pool. It would have been better if the bar that was located there was open and if there were some restaurant service available. read more

This place is terrific! Austin's newest luxury hotel is absolutely beautiful. Huge flatscreen TV, every needed extra. Plush, comfortable beds. One of the nicest fitness centers I've seen at any hotel. My stay was during the recent floods, and "boil all water" warning in the city, so ice and water use was not possible which impacted my stay somewhat, but not the hotel's fault. They provided as much bottled water as needed to drink and brush your teeth. Their beautiful pool was also closed so I didn't have an opportunity to check it out. Valet service for parking, and all of their attendants were super friendly and accommodating. This place is indeed pricey, but one of, if not THE nicest hotel stay in Austin. Packed with hundreds of nearby restaurants and shopping opportunities. I'd definitely stay here again when the opportunity presents itself and the budget permits. read more
