Originally built in 1965 as a mid-century jazz club on the banks of Town Lake, The LINE Austin occupies the single best waterfront corner in Downtown Austin—delivering 428 minimalist-warm rooms, Top Chef winner Kristen Kish's Arlo Grey, P6's sunset rooftop, and the Onyx Ballroom right on the Congress Avenue Bridge & Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail just 90 seconds on foot from JW Marriott.

Ideal Program Fit

Best event formats at The LINE Austin

  • Creative tech, media, VC & design conferences wanting waterfront soul 90 seconds from JW Marriott
  • Full indoor-outdoor Onyx Ballroom + Lady Bird Lake infinity-pool receptions overlooking the Congress Bridge bats
  • Multi-venue single-roof dining flows (Arlo Grey VIP dinner -> P6 Rooftop sunset nightcaps)

Producer Contract Notes

Logistics & BEO details to verify first

  • Disclose the $39/nt amenity fee (+17% Austin HOT = ~$45.63/nt) upfront when comparing against $0-fee JW Marriott next door
  • Never schedule black-car pickups directly on Congress Ave Bridge during sunset bat emergence (March–October)—use the Brazos St / Cesar Chavez porte-cochère
