The place
Inside the Waterline — at 74 stories and 1,022 feet, the tallest building in the Southern United States.
The concept
The brand's most ambitious project to date, and its clearest statement on where hotel wellness is heading: 252 rooms organised around a dedicated wellness floor with a Bamford Wellness Spa, treated as an integrated programme rather than an amenity list.
Dining & wellness
James Beard nominee Chef Johnny Curiel at Alteño, with a 16th-floor rooftop lounge called Watr overlooking Lady Bird Lake.
