Curated Experiences at The Otis

Let The Otis Set the Soundtrack to Your stay

Welcome to Austin, the heart of Texas and the Live Music Capital of The World.

At The Otis Hotel, we curate musical experiences as a part of your stay in Austin. Each of our guest rooms is outfitted with its own turntable and selection of records by an eclectic mix of artists. Guests who are looking for a more personalized experience can share their musical preferences with our Vinyl Ambassador, who serves as our resident music professor, prior to checking in.  The Vinyl Ambassador will hand pick a custom assortment of records to fit their music profile from our expansive library of LPs and have them ready for guests to discover and enjoy throughout their stay. Our Vinyl Ambassador is also available for one-on-one curating or live listening sessions in our lobby, whether guests are looking to reconnect with an old favorite or unearth a new sound.

To learn more about The Otis’ vinyl program, simply get in touch with our Vinyl Ambassador.

Texan Tunes

In addition to the small selection of vinyl found in each guest room, guests will find a custom record that was created exclusively for The Otis Hotel. The album artwork, thoughtfully designed by University of Texas student Claudia Durand, was inspired by Austin’s lively energy and rich history as the Live Music Capital of the World, while the records themselves feature two legendary artists with deep Texas roots: Janis Joplin and Leon Bridges.

Janis Joplin, deemed the first queen of rock ‘n’ roll, was born and raised in the Texas gulf town of Port Arthur and attended the University of Texas at Austin. The late legend is rumored to have lived and written music in West Campus’ “Pink Palace” before moving to San Francisco where she found stardom.

Leon Bridges, a present-day soul singer with a style that has drawn comparisons to old school crooners like Sam Crooke and Otis Redding, honed his sound performing in and around his native Fort Worth.

Check out our Sounds of The Otis playlist for a sneak peek of the wide variety of artists whose work can be found in our extensive vinyl library, or check out our Spotify page to discover more of our favorites.
