So I am going to Austin on 2/18 for a buddy's birthday. His wife is sending us there for his 40th birthday. She got a hotel room a the W Austin. I told her I would book another room as there are 4 of us guys going. I looked online and their basic room with 2 queen beds in $450/night. Anyone know of a cheaper way to get a room at this hotel? TIA

Hotwire your room in downtown Austin. Any of the other 4-5 star places are a third of that and only blocks away.

The W is the hot spot right now along with the JW Marriott so their rates are stupid

Call and ask for the [Insert Company Name] rate. They don't ask for ID with the rates. I work for a large accounting firm, one of the 4 largest. Our rate is $225 a night.

I just checked and lowest standard rate for that date is $314 ($360 after taxes,etc) not $450. The accenture rate is $256. They use "SET" codes to book those company rates not just the name so not sure that will get you where you need to go but i guess it is worth a try.

The W Austin is a huge ripoff these days. Its not that great and its always a fortune.

I saw an article a couple of years back saying we have some of the highest rates in the country because we had the highest occupancy rate in the US. A few more have opened since then but the rates are still high.

They are running a Valentines day special for the rooms with heart shaped beds. $250 a night I think, $125 for each of you, not bad.
