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 date night at the Pop Up Ugly Sweater Bar on the 7th floor. It was such a fun vibe! Our waiter was Jordan C. and he was wonderful! All of the staff we encountered was great, as well. We had delicious drinks and yummy food. We highly recommend!

The Fairmont Austin was a beautiful retreat in the urban setting of Austin. The lobby is light and bright, the staff friendly and helpful. My guest room was comfortable, spacious, with gorgeous windows, extremely comfortable bed, gorgeous bathroom and shower, Nespresso machine and fast wifi. Hotel is walk-able to restaurants, shops, bars and walking trails, the location was perfect. Try a scooter to get around (you can use your Uber app!) Great coffee in cafe, drinks and food in the lobby bar, and the views are great if you can get a room on a higher floor. Fitness center was clean, in working order and had lots of windows and natural light. Can't wait to stay again! Read less

Look who found the best spa in downtown Austin! We were staying at the Marriott but they only offered services without the spa amenities. So we went to the Fairmont instead for spa treatments. Started with a soak in the 6th story jacuzzi, looking out over the Austin skyline. Miguel was our spa attendant & he made our time so comfortable. Thank you Miguel! Then it was time for treatments! Matthew Aguilar delivered the most decadent facial I have ever had. Gentle, attentive, & educational. Overall just exceptional! Finished with steam, sauna, then shower before saying goodbye to the Fairmont Spa. 10/10 5 stars 2 thumbs way up! Read less
