Great place to stay. I tried to use the spa area after my workout at the gym. I was told it would be $100 for the use of the sauna, steam room and whirlpool. SUPER OVER PRICED.

For the price you pay to stay there you would think once you get to the room and you want to rest you could watch what you want to watch. The TVs are outdated. You cannot connect to any of your apps on top of that. You can barely navigate the TV loading screens take forever remote doesn’t really activate the TV correctly. TVs need to be updated.

For a Fairmont hotel, I was surprised how unluxurious it was. There was no doormen upon entering or anyone greeting you when you pull up. I arrived around 9pm on a Friday night and there was one person at the check-in desks. Even the poolside/late night menu at the bar seemed very light. I was just expecting more than what I experienced.
- 4/5
Great hotel but the pool was incredibly cold. For the money they charge you would think it would be heated. The jacuzzi had no jets either so it was very disappointing
- 5/5
What a beautiful place the Fairmont Austin is. We had two separate reservations due to one being a family event, and one for a birthday. They were able to accommodate it and make sure that the room did not need to be moved. Also they surprised us with a cake and drinks to celebrate the birthday. I will highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Austin.

The check in staff was very helpful and welcoming, the hotel is beautiful and the roof pool is a must. The only disappointing occurrence at the hotel was the wait staff in the Fulton Lounge. We came in and were never served after almost 20 mins waiting. We left and went somewhere else. The lounge was busy but not a server in sight.

Went there to attend the Austin theatre of magic show in room 725 and was not disappointed, The hotel was well staffed and very clean. The wait staff in the bar was also excellent. Would definitely recommend the magic show ( it was awesome) they used the audience in a few of their sketches, very well done.

The staff were truly wonderful—respectful, polite, and always ready to help. It was our first time staying here, and friends had recommended it for our anniversary, making it extra special. We thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing experience at the spa, and the fine dining was absolutely delicious. There's also another restaurant if you're in the mood for some music, quick bites, and drinks, which adds a relaxing vibe. The pool area is simply fantastic, making our stay even more enjoyable.

Great hotel. Horrible customer service experience. I was treated like a criminal when I locked myself out of the room. They had to walk me up with security to get my id & cc. No one bothered to call me after I made a complaint. Just a horrible customer service experience all around
- 3.5/5
Hotel check in was simple and we were offered lots of recommendations locally to visit. Hotel room was spacious and clean. The pool was great, as was the bike hire (free for 2 hours) Biggest issue we found was the noise levels surrounding the hotel. They are building a convention centre next door and we found lots of noise from 6am onwards. We visited as tourists and felt that the hotel was more focused surrounding conventions etc

Please note you will need to pay for overnight parking even if you stay at the hotel, which is $55 per night. We got a room with a nice view, but had a door connected to another room, and we could hear everything, which was a bit annoying. Outdoor pool is okay, nothing out of the ordinary. Breakfast was good, Dinner okay.

Check-in was great, allowed to access room 2 hours before check 4pm Hotel is impeccably clean and well appointed. My tip for anyone thinking about this property is to check directly with the hotel about whether or not there are any conferences that are happening during your dates of interest. There was a large conference during our 2 night stay which made accessing the main bar and restaurant nearly impossible. The hotel also issued many resort day passes to the pool on a Friday which made that experience less than favorable. By 12:30 in the afternoon there wasn’t a lounger to be found. We only know this due to a local telling us when the arrived at the chair beside us.

The Fairmont was excellent. The location was great! The staff were very helpful and professional. The entire hotel was clean including our room. We loved the Gold lounge for its conveinence and amenities, breakfast, snacks, drinks and desserts were all wonderful . The outdoor pool was welcome during the very HOT weather! The floating lounge chairs and umbrella covered areas were so relaxing .Great stay!

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.
- 5/5
The staff added an extra sprinkle of magic. They were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Between the lovely atmosphere, fantastic amenities, and perfect Austin location, our stay felt equal parts relaxing and special. 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.

Great location, very helpful people working there, make sure you use the pool as it’s very nice with views. Parking is a little high but it is in/out so that is helpful. Lots of choices in Austin, but if you want to feel special and be able to walk to it all, this is the place.

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.
