Method Co has announced the opening of its latest Roost Apartment Hotel, marking the brand’s first property in Texas and eighth nationwide.

Located in Austin, Roost Rainey spans four floors of Paseo – LV Collective’s 48-story mixed-use development at 80 Rainey Street, with guests receiving exclusive access to Paseo’s wellness amenities, including a pool, spa and fitness centre with workout studios, along with a selection of elevated onsite food and beverage concepts.

The hotel’s interiors, designed collaboratively by LV Collective, Method Co and ZZ Driggs, draw inspiration from the history and cultural heritage of the Rainey Street Historic District. Layered textures, organic materials, warm tones and custom artwork by Alex Bodishbaugh create a personal feel, with no two units styled exactly alike.

Roost Rainey’s apartment hotel units feature an elegant designed approach evoking warmth, with handcrafted details, subtle textures, vintage rugs and natural finishes that echo Austin’s architectural character, along with the neighborhood’s Mexican-American heritage.

Velvet and leather upholstery and handmade tiles are complemented by white oak cabinetry, grey matte countertops and a statement pendant light over each kitchen island, creating a warm, tactile environment that balances comfort with thoughtful design.

Vintage furnishings from Austin-based Four Hands celebrate the property’s regional craftsmanship and sustainable focus, with the project also targeting both LEED Silver and an Austin Energy Green Building 3-Star rating.

The 59-key property offers a mix of fully furnished studio, one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartment hotel units, all designed to be a home away from home while delivering the sophistication and service of a boutique hotel. Each Roost suite includes a full-size kitchen, in-unit laundry and the brand’s premium in-room coffee program, with Bonavita coffee makers and Capresso grinders.

“Roost Rainey marks an exciting chapter in our continued national expansion, and we couldn’t imagine a better city for our first Texas property,” says Randall Cook, Co-founder and CEO of Method Co. “Our goal with every Roost location is to create a beautifully designed, highly liveable space that feels rooted in its surroundings. With Paseo and Rainey Street as our backdrop, we’re excited to welcome travellers to a hotel experience that embodies the spirit and energy of Austin.”

“The opening of Roost Rainey represents more than a hotel debut — it’s a continuation of our vision for what experiential living on Rainey Street can be,” said David Kanne, LV Collective CEO. “Together with Method Co, we’re creating a stay that’s rooted in the neighbourhood’s character while bringing guests seamless access to Paseo’s wellness, coworking and culinary offerings.”

The opening of Roost Rainey builds upon the brand’s nationwide expansion, joining new locations in Washington, D.C., Detroit and Baltimore, with additional growth planned in coming years for major markets across the country.
