The Fairmont Austin

Austin, Texas

Virgin rating

The hotel

If you’re wandering through the central business district, you won’t be able to miss the Fairmont Austin, it’s 37-storey building being a towering icon set amid lush green surroundings. This makes for fantastic views from all room types, particularly with the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the dramatic cityscape and the Lady Bird Lake. The 7th floor terrace plays host to the spacious pool with cabanas and poolside bar and restaurant, all with a city centre backdrop. All the best that Austin has to offer is within walking distance, with the popular Rainey Street just two blocks away for a host of bars and restaurants. You don’t need to leave the hotel to experience quality food though, with 5 dining options available to you, all offering something a bit different.

We had a wonderful time staying at your beautiful hotel. The rooms were spacious with all the amenities and beautiful. The lounge was great and inviting. The hotel was walking distance from several events we went to. Everyone was so courteous and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

2 night stay here. Visiting Austin from the UK, Good location and walking distance to most downtown locations (although area around hotel a little sketchy at times). Friendly staff at reception and really helpful. Pool area is really nice and is more like a resort pool than a downtown hotel pool. Great pool service, pool area is kept clean and tidy and had a great atmosphere. Hotel lobby bar could probably do with a refurbishment and was looking a little tired in places. Rooms are modern, clean, well maintained and Le Labo products in bathrooms which was a nice touch. Although self parking is expensive, car park felt safe and it was easily accessed from the hotel lobby. Overall a really good stay and would recommend. Read less

Everything was exceptional! The concierges in the lobby and up in the Fairmont Gold Lounge were so helpful and friendly taking care of everything from restaurant reservations to solving traveling problems. The room was clean and comfortable, and housekeeping came in everyday. The Fulton bar was gorgeous and we enjoyed the live music there. We have to mention the fabulous food in the Gold Lounge. The pastries and desserts just amazing, Fruit so fresh, weekend omelet so good. Just can't say enough good things about the attentive, high quality service at the Fairmont. Read less

The pool and gym were also very nice and the food we had at 2 of the hotel restaurants was tasty as well. We would definitely recommend this hotel to others. Read less

I stayed at the Fairmont Hotel Austin for a Sophos event and was pleasantly surprised by the hotel. The environment is extremely clean, the rooms are very spacious and comfortable, and the event area is excellent. The pool is also very nice, and the hotel’s location is perfect. However, I would like to highlight a point of attention regarding the valet service. Upon arrival, I parked the car to unload my luggage and informed them that I would leave in less than 15 minutes. The valet staff did not react well to this, showing some lack of preparation. I believe this treatment by one valet individual does not reflect the quality of the other services and staff at the hotel, but it is something to consider, especially since it was my first contact with the hotel. Overall, my experience was very positive, and I recommend the Fairmont Hotel Austin for those seeking comfort and quality. Read less
