Experience luxury at this lakeside Four Seasons in downtown Austin, where chic rooms, top-notch service, and stunning views redefine upscale comfort.
"The downtown hotel the Four Seasons is hosting its Ice Rodeo again with the outdoor ice rink, rentable cabins, the deck lounge, and a speakeasy-styled bar, all with food and drinks. It runs from Friday, November 22 through Sunday, January 5. There are outdoor areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Another stellar Colorado River overlook can be found on the patio of the downtown Austin hotel’s Live Oak bar and restaurant Ciclo. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Darcie Duttweiler, Nadia Chaudhury
"The downtown hotel will throw its annual Derby Day party in the Live Oak bar with cocktails, food, and more. Tickets are $65, which comes with one julep and one race betting form. Partial proceeds will go towards nonprofit Palomino Ridge Ranch Horse Rescue. It runs from 3 to 7 p.m. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Austin provides a vibrant setting for the eclipse with its live music and bar scene. While the totality lasts for 1 minute and 46 seconds, there are events like the solar eclipse picnic at Four Seasons Hotel Austin."
"With its front-row views of Lady Bird Lake, this luxe resort feels like a quiet enclave set back from the business of downtown. Spacious rooms and suites have a soft neutral palette with matte-metallic finishes—you can even request firm or plush pillow mattress toppers, and a number of body pillows of your choice—and glass-doored bathrooms are stocked with L'Occitane products. Even the gym overlooks the lake—you may find yourself motivated by the sight of chiseled Austinites kayaking." - Mandy Ellis, Allison Bagley
