    The day pass holders also seem to seek a very loud pool party, which seems different to the guests I see at the hotel, making it uncomfortable for families staying at the hotel. This is the second time that this type of situation has happened to me.

    The hotel itself is beautiful, comfortable, and has an upscale atmosphere, but what really stood out was the level of service. The attention to detail and hospitality made the entire experience feel special. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely return. If you’re looking for a luxury hotel in Austin with exceptional service, I highly recommend the Fairmont Austin. Five stars all around!

    At the time of check in I was told that they charge $35 each day each room and we had 3 rooms. We ate at the restaurant once we got there not enough waiters to serve. Poor service at the breakfast. So we did not use 15% amenities what the hotel charged each day.

    Loved this hotel. The rooms are comfortable and elegant, the staff is top notch, and the bar had great cocktails. We rented a cabana at the pool while we were there to watch the world cup and that was a fun way to spend a day with friends. That sun is for real, the pool area needs more many more umbrellas.

If you’re looking for a place that makes an ordinary getaway feel just a little more enchanting, the Fairmont Austin definitely delivers. 🌟 Would happily return!

    We arrived very happy to celebrate my birthday. After ewe settled we ordered room service dining and we both became ill. The food poisoning was and still is so bad I had to stay in and couldn’t go anywhere. I’m still sick. So sad I couldn’t do anything because of that. Good poisoning is horrible and painful. I haven’t been able to recover.

    Lobby is nice, valet staff very good. Hallways need fresh paint and room itself had fraying sheets with holes in them. Needed fresh glasses and room service brought dirty barware—greasy, unclean wine glasses and tumblers. Water in the pool did not appear pristine, but was a bit murky.

    The hotel is on a dusty, dirty road and lacks air conditioning; we left immediately, and the property refused to refund us. This poses a health hazard, is a clear misrepresentation of what was advertised on the booking website, and reflects extremely irresponsible management that wasted our time and money.

    We love this hotel. We go at least once a year. We always upgrade to the Gold Club. The breakfast, honor bar, canapés, desserts and soda/water bottle station are fantastic and worth the upgrade. I never stay anywhere else in Austin! I love the Fairmont brand!

    Our last night we were looking forward to taking advantage of the advertised “happy hour” at the pool from 5-6. However it was booked for a private event. So there were no evening drinks at the pool on any of the days we stayed there. Would have been nice to have know that going in. Additionally one frozen drink and a single beer for my wife and myself was 54$. That was a single margarita and an ultra. Pretty steep prices…probably better the bar closed early😂
