Located in the center of Downtown Austin—just steps away from East Sixth Street and Rainey Street Historic District and attached to the Austin Convention Center via a covered walkway, Hilton Austin serves as a destination travel experience for meeting and conference tourism. The hotel’s Texan-chic style creates a memorable experience for guests while providing them with an insider's view of the beloved city of Austin.
The firm collaborated with the Dallas-based team of EDG Design—a global hospitality design and branding studio— for the art in public spaces. The lobby features a large three-dimensional panel piece, which provides guests with various perspectives of the city’s nightlife and nature as guests move around the space. In the next phase, Eaton Fine Art collaborated with FlickMars—a Dallas-based hospitality design firm, to curate a collection of abstract works in the pre-function and meeting spaces. For the guest rooms, Eaton Fine Art curated photography of hidden destinations in Austin along with vintage neon signage and a custom “longhorn” bicycle.
The art collection offers guests a subtle look of Austin that celebrates a tale of two cities—the vibrant music scene and the natural outdoors.
