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.

The food and drinks are overpriced. You are charged full price for a coffee refill at breakfast. Mandatory resort fee. $50 per night parking. The IN room refrgerator is filled with overpriced hotel beverages. The guest cannot fit their own wine bottle in the refrigerator because of the weird size and non removable shelves.

I frequent Austin for work and pleasure - regardless of my reason - I always stay at the Fairmont. It is an exceptional hotel that pays attention to every last detail of your stay! Even when I am in town for work, the Fairmont feels like a vacation. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, the hotel is always clean and smells nice, and the rooms are spacious and full of natural light. I love having the coffee shop in the hotel and being walking distance from TONS of restaurants and bars!! Plus, the pool!! I have taken a few solo "self care" trips to Austin and the Fairmont pool and spa always get me right. Read less

Poor value not worth $600 a night The noise from construction at pool ruined our time there. The Air Con in lounge was so cold we had to wear sweaters The gold lounge was like the rest of the hotel very tired. However the good points are the staff who were all really friendly and helpful It’s in a good location for nightlife with 2 x streets of bars etc and one of them 6th street was very busy. Great BBQ restaurant 2 min walk away and our favourite the MOONSHINE bar & Restaurant was superb and good value Read less

Clean, modern room, comfy bed, yummy breakfast (thanks Tugce:) ), wonderful location, so easy to hop on a scooter and zip around the increasingly beautiful downtown Austin, good times. Pool looks glorious but no time to hop in. Hopefully I’ll get to come back for another stay soon.
