It is now The Line Austin and the interior has been updated.<\/p>\n<p>One of my go to hotels in Austin is the Radisson because of the great location downtown right off Town Lake and a short\u00a0distance from 6th St, Rainey St, and the Capital. This hotel is also a great location to view the Austin bats that come out during the late spring\/summer. My stay is always great because the staff is always friendly and accommodating.<\/p>\n<p>The lobby area has a Starbucks for your breakfast coffee and pastry and there is also an attached restaurant called Chavez where you can grab a nice meal. There is also a large aquarium that you can enjoy and lots of lounge seating.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/files\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-Aquarium.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4007\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/files\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-Aquarium.jpg\" alt=\"Radisson Austin Aquarium\" width=\"525\" height=\"303\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I booked the room with points so I was suppose to get a standard room but as a member with Gold status, I was upgraded to a King Suite. These rooms include sleep number beds and they are extremely comfortable. The room costs 44k points per night but if you have the Club Carlson Visa card, you get the last night free.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/files\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-bed.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4008\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/files\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-bed.jpg\" alt=\"Radisson Austin bed\" width=\"511\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The only downside is that the room and attached living room are a bit outdated.

Here is a sneak peak at the rooms. As soon as you walk in, you\u00a0notice the bright colors and much needed change. I don&#8217;t know about the white couches because they are prone to get dirty but they still look great.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/files\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-new-livingroom.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4013\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/files\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-new-livingroom.jpg\" alt=\"Bright new livingroom\" width=\"519\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-new-livingroom.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-new-livingroom-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-new-livingroom-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-new-livingroom-400x400.jpg 400w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-new-livingroom-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I also appreciate the funky and fun artwork that will be displayed in each room.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/files\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-artwork.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4010\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/files\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-artwork.jpg\" alt=\"Radisson Austin artwork\" width=\"517\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-artwork.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-artwork-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-artwork-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-artwork-400x400.jpg 400w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-artwork-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 517px) 100vw, 517px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The bathrooms will\u00a0have better lighting and some color<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/files\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-new-bathroom.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4011\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/files\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-new-bathroom.jpg\" alt=\"Radisson Austin new bathroom\" width=\"512\" height=\"896\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And the bedroom will also have a bright new headboard and updated colorful curtains.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/files\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-new-bedroom.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4012\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/files\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-new-bedroom.jpg\" alt=\"Radisson Austin new bedroom\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-new-bedroom.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-new-bedroom-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-new-bedroom-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-new-bedroom-400x400.jpg 400w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/03\/Radisson-Austin-new-bedroom-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another great feature of the hotel is their newly renovated infinity pool.
