"Day passes and daybed or cabana reservations give access to this Downtown hotel’s Vegas-style pool, which comes complete with rooftop palm trees. The onsite pool bar Rules & Regs serves a top-notch scallop ceviche, tuna tostadas, and larger plates like the rib-eye. Cocktails run towards Mexican-inspired drinks, like the Smoked Sunset Negroni (a negroni with red wine) or the Oaxacan Fizz (gin and a lemongrass and citrus tonic).

"The biggest hotel in Austin, the Fairmont Gold offers guests a luxurious and quieter ecosystem on the 35th floor while still providing access to expansive dining, drinking, spa, and entertainment options. Dine at Garrison, one of the best restaurants in Austin for a hearty yet elegant meal." - The MICHELIN Guide

"The Fairmont is around the corner from Rainey Street, but for those who prefer to avoid the bar district’s chaos while still grabbing a drink, this Downtown hotel’s chic rooftop bar has it covered. The cocktail list is full of Latin and Caribbean flavors and ingredients. Popular libations include the Acapulco Breeze with sotol, blanco tequila, banana liqueur, lemon, cucumber, and prickly pear; and the Bird of Paradise with gin, mezcal, Cocchi Rosa, green chartreuse, orange, raspberry, and chocolate mole. Bar bites like chips and guacamole, ceviche, and tacos with suadero or carnitas are also available. Cigar enthusiasts can partake in the loaded cigar menu, too, which includes recommendations for spirits pairings." - Taylor Tobin
