A Lakeside Retreat as unique as Austin itself. Austin’s particular brand of cool is evident in every detail of our downtown Hotel, from local art to Texas-inspired spa treatments. Come for our incredible margaritas and saltwater pool, then stay for lawn games, miles of lakeside trails and spacious rooms overlooking idyllic Lady Bird Lake. With our location in the heart of downtown, our guests are able to experience the vibrancy of Austin right outside our doors, with over 150 restaurants, shops and nightlife opportunities nearby, as well as the relaxing, resort-like setting of our back lawn. We immerse guests in the best of the city’s many charming neighborhoods, it’s vibrant entertainment community, and it’s renowned culinary scene.   The closest airport is Austin Bergstrom International, just 15 to 20 minutes or about 7 miles by car. The airport receives direct flights from a wealth of major hubs across the U.S., as well as from international destinations including London, Toronto, Mexico City, and Panama City. We have 294 guest rooms, including 33 suites. The décor is contemporary with soothing colors and rich wood furniture.
