About
Preciosa collaborated with Marriott International Global Procurement and the
designers at BLUR Workshop to bring a fresh lighting vision to the newly
reimagined W Austin. The transformation has already made its mark, earning the
2025 Gold Key Awards for both Hotel Luxury and Guestroom Luxury.
The spacious hotel lobby is decorated with a striking wall feature made of frosted diffusers arranged in a regular geometric grid. Framing the front desk as a feature wall, it adds depth and texture, giving the space a richer architectural character.
A delicate chandelier hovers above the cocktail bar, designed to draw the eye and echo the venue’s sculptural elegance. Artfully shaped metal pendants in the shape of leaves suspended from a custom frame, creating a quietly captivating focal point.
A fluid, snake-like installation of opal-frosted surface forms an original centrepiece above the coffee bar. Its polished brass canopy lends warmth and showcases fine craftsmanship, casting an inviting, atmospheric glow.

- 1126 kg weight of the bar lighting fixture
- 832 frosted diffusers in the lobby lighting fixture
- 790 x 181 centimetres size of the bar lighting fixture

Location
W Hotel Austin
Following a comprehensive renovation in early 2025, W Austin reemerges as a vibrant tribute to the city’s music scene and natural landscape. Bold architecture, layered textures, and immersive details define the redesign, subtly echoing the tree-lined shores of Lady Bird Lake. At its centre, the transformed Living Room showcases a sculptural gold bar shaped by trumpet-like curves, topped with a standout chandelier by Preciosa.
