Experiences

The rooftop heated pool is exclusively for guests of The Otis Hotel, open from sunrise to sunset.

Sun Kissed at Sunset

Whether you’re looking towards Hill Country or downtown Austin, Texas sunsets look the best when you are 11 stories up. At Otopia, you are encouraged to stop by during Golden Hour (happy hour) to soak up the sun and enjoy your favorite drinks and lite bites or stop by on a week day for deals on select cocktails and lite bites. From September through October, join us for "Silent Sunsets", a silent disco event with curated playlists by our team and good vibes.
