Twenty-nine floors up, this two-bedroom condo trades street-level bustle for floor-to-ceiling skyline views—bright, open, and thoughtfully laid out, with contemporary furnishings throughout. The kitchen includes a cozy German-style breakfast nook for slow mornings, and on certain holidays the panoramic windows frame fireworks over downtown. It's a calm perch high above one of Austin's most energetic neighborhoods, built for travelers who want to be close to everything without living in the middle of the noise. Sits inside a 33-story tower in the Rainey Street District, designed around amenities that make a stay genuinely easier—all available to guests. The headliner is up top: a 33rd-floor rooftop pool with some of the best skyline views in Austin, the highest pool on Rainey Street and the first thing most guests mention (claim a lounger early on warm afternoons—it fills up fast). Closer to the ground there's a clean, well-stocked fitness center, a yoga room, private Peloton studios, a co-working lounge for work-trip mornings, and a lobby coffee bar that regulars miss the moment they head home. A 24-hour front desk keeps the whole building running like a hotel, and there's an on-site dog park for longer stays with a four-legged companion. The Room The Emma Penthouse is a two-bedroom suite made for couples, friends, or work trips that need a little more room. The primary suite holds a king bed with a smart TV, an ensuite bath, and private balcony access for taking in the skyline, while the second bedroom has a full bed with a shared bath nearby. The kitchen is set up for morning coffee and the occasional home-cooked meal—a comfortable, well-considered home base for an Austin stay. Step outside, and Rainey Street's bungalow-lined patios and food trucks are a five-minute walk. The Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail sits right at the doorstep for morning runs and lakeside laps, and Congress Avenue Bridge—famous for its sunset bat flights—is an easy stroll along the water. East Austin's restaurants, Sixth Street, Congress Avenue, and the Convention Center are all a quick walk or short ride, which makes The Emma Penthouse a sharp base for SXSW, F1, or ACL: close enough to the action, far enough to actually sleep. Central, but never chaotic—exactly the Austin you came for. AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay.
