Only steps away from downtown Austin’s buzz and waterfront, Verbena Spa offers a boutique spa getaway that promotes physical and mental serenity to balance Austin’s naturally active energy. Upon entry, decompress with a detoxifying drink in the pretreatment reception lounge, where seasoned therapists will discuss your needs and guide you through the dressing rooms and facilities, helping you decide how you’ll pamper yourself. Afterward, relax in the steam room or reserve their new Recovery Room to enjoy the benefits of a dry sauna, cold plunge, and red light therapy.

Austin’s own MML Hospitality—the renowned team behind iconic Austin dining establishments like Jeffrey’s, Elizabeth Street Café, and Clark’s Oyster Bar—is Austin Proper's exclusive partner across all four dining concepts. Indulge in Israeli and Turkish-inspired cuisine at Peacock Mediterranean Grill, or enjoy authentic coastal Mexican fare, ceviches, and sizzling fajitas at the poolside La Piscina restaurant.

Alternatively, sip classic cocktails and spin a record at The Quill Room, or tuck into the elegance of Goldie’s Sunken Bar, their intimate thirty-seat lounge exclusively open to Proper hotel guests. This elegant and vibrant space is perfect for a posh celebration, sophisticated drinks, or a romantic evening out. The focal point of the room is a stunning marble sunken bar, surrounded by plush tweed and velvet seating. Seasonal cocktails rotate based on ingredient availability, while menu mainstays include a classic martini, a bottle of champagne, and other favorite drinks.
