"On the 20th floor of The Westin Downtown, you’ll find Azul, claiming the spot of the “highest view of Downtown” in the whole city. The entire space is lined by a see-through glass railing that might cause a bit of uneasiness as you look down onto the tiny cars below—just grab a seat by one of the faux-fire pits, order a margarita, and try not to get splashed by the hotel guests swimming in the pool just a few feet away. " - nicolai mccrary

"Sip on frozen drinks and take a dip in the Westin Downtown’s way-up-high rooftop pool and bar while partaking in the hotel’s public afternoon and evening hours. For food, expect New American-ish dishes like crab hush puppies and burgers." - Nadia Chaudhury, Darcie Duttweiler

"Up on the 20th floor of The Westin in Downtown Austin, you’ll find Azul, claiming the spot of the “highest view of Downtown” in the whole city. And for the month of December, that also makes it the highest holiday bar in town, too, when it turns into “Yule at Azul.” Expect to find festive drinks, holiday decor, and a photo booth where you can show off all your ugly sweaters.  When: Dec 1 - 30" - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
