Four Seasons Hotel Austin

A waterfront gem in downtown Austin
VERIFIED LUXURY
Since opening in 1986, Four Seasons Hotel Austin has maintained its reputation for elegance and top-notch hospitality. Situated along Lady Bird Lake, just a stone’s throw from the Congress Avenue Bridge, the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star hotel has the benefit of peaceful privacy from its tucked-away spot in lively downtown Austin.

The property’s central yet secluded locale has attracted guests traveling both for business and pleasure, and made it a favorite of visiting musicians and celebrities.

The hotel recently underwent a massive renovation, enhancing the its 294 guest rooms (including 33 sumptuous suites) and introducing a brand-new Austin-inspired restaurant and bar. Savor modern Texas fare with a Latin flair from restaurateur Richard Sandoval at Ciclo, or pull up a seat and savor the flavors of Guadalajara in bites and beverages from the indoor-outdoor Live Oak lounge.

Our Inspector's Highlights
  • The moment you pull into its circular drive, you’ll know that Four Seasons Hotel Austin is unlike any hotel you’ve ever been to. Perched upon the banks of the placid Lady Bird Lake, this hotel is an oasis amidst an urban desert.
  • Four Seasons Hotel Austin is located in one of the coolest cities in the Southwest. With Lady Bird Lake on its south side and downtown on its north, guests get the best of both worlds while staying at this hotel.
  • Stepping into the lobby that’s served Austin as a classically luxurious destination, you’ll see an homage to Texas. The interior of the hotel flaunts that rustic Texas style, but gilded with Austin’s adoration of art.
  • Austin is also the Live Music Capital of the World; whether the entertainment is watching the sunset from the Live Oak lounge or catching one of the various music festivals in town, the downtown location is top notch.
  • You’re just a few blocks away from the live music and pandemonium of the rowdy crowd on Sixth Street if you want a raucous night out.
