ROOST Rainey to Open in Austin’s Rainey Street District, Introducing a High-Design Apartment Hotel Concept

Austin is preparing to welcome ROOST Rainey, a new design-forward apartment hotel opening in the heart of the city’s vibrant Rainey Street district. Positioned within one of Austin’s fastest-growing neighborhoods, the property is set to deliver a sophisticated blend of high-end design, comfort, and hotel-style services. With its focus on both short and extended stays, ROOST Rainey aims to become a standout accommodation choice for the city’s large volume of leisure travelers, business guests, and long-term visitors.

Since its launch in 2014, ROOST Apartment Hotel has carved a niche by combining boutique hotel style with the convenience of fully furnished apartments. ROOST Rainey continues this approach, marking the brand’s debut in Texas and its farthest expansion west. Located within the new Paseo development, the property will cater to Austin’s creative energy and flourishing hospitality market.

“Our debut in Austin marks a major milestone for ROOST,” said Randall Cook, Co-Founder and CEO of Method Co. “Austin’s creative spirit and strong sense of community align seamlessly with the ROOST ethos. Together with LV Collective, we’re bringing a thoughtfully designed hotel experience that reflects the character of the Rainey Street neighborhood.”

Design-Focused Apartment Living Meets Boutique Hotel Comfort

ROOST Rainey will offer a collection of fully furnished units, ranging from studios to four-bedroom apartments. The interiors, designed in collaboration between LV Collective and Method Studios, blend contemporary sophistication with practical comfort. Full-size kitchens, in-unit laundry, curated furnishings, and luxury finishes create a home-like environment tailored for both short and extended stays. A 24-hour concierge team will further enhance convenience and service for every guest.

Premium Amenities Within the Paseo Development

Guests will have full access to the signature amenities of the Paseo development. The 12th-floor pool deck will be a major highlight, featuring expansive views of Lady Bird Lake and a full bar for a relaxed, resort-style experience. A state-of-the-art fitness center—including reformer Pilates, yoga studios, cold plunge pools, and saunas—will support wellness-focused stays.

For business travelers and remote workers, Paseo offers two coworking floors equipped with private work pods, meeting rooms, and flexible workspaces. This makes the property especially appealing for guests balancing work and travel.

A Destination for Art, Dining, and Cultural Experiences

Paseo’s “Artist in Residence Program” will add cultural depth to the guest experience, offering exclusive creative events and community-driven programming. The development will also feature multiple dining options, including Daydreamer Café on the ground level, Amaya for Mediterranean-inspired fine dining, and an Italian steakhouse set to open next year. These curated culinary experiences ensure guests have access to diverse dining without leaving the property.

“Paseo represents the next evolution in experiential living,” said David Kanne, CEO of LV Collective. “By blending hospitality with residential-style comfort, we’ve created an environment that inspires connection and discovery. It’s more than a place to stay—it’s an elevated way to experience Austin.”

A Major Milestone for ROOST’s Growing Portfolio

ROOST Rainey becomes the eighth property in the ROOST Apartment Hotel collection, following the recent opening of ROOST White House in Washington, D.C. The Austin location also marks the brand’s introduction of the city’s first high-design, short-term stay apartment hotel concept. With Austin welcoming more than 20 million visitors annually, ROOST Rainey is positioned to serve a growing demand for stylish, flexible lodging that combines luxury with livability.

Bringing a New Level of Hospitality to Austin

With its modern design, comprehensive amenities, and prime Rainey Street location, ROOST Rainey is set to redefine how visitors experience Austin. Whether guests are traveling for business, exploring the city’s dynamic cultural scene, or settling in for an extended stay, the property provides a sophisticated home-like environment in one of the city’s most energetic neighborhoods.

ROOST Rainey is expected to play a significant role in shaping Austin’s next chapter in hospitality, offering a seamless blend of comfort, creativity, and contemporary design.
