Lonely Planet
"Business people seem drawn to the Hyatt's signature masculine style - large, executive chairs and desks, and deep cocoa browns."

Request ahead for a room with a river, which costs extra.
Star Service
"The service here is not as well-tailored to the individual as that at the Omni, but low rates and a scenic location do offer value and convenience for a good mix of business and leisure guests."

"Business guests appreciate the location of this property --- near the Palmer Event Center and Austin Convention Center, it is often the site of major conferences and executive gatherings."
BlackBook
"Tony people are fraternizing in the face-lifted lobby lounge. And the view of the skyline from there is most expansive."

Rough Guide
"This handsome and historic downtown hotel is Austin’s swankiest choice, with an opulent marble lobby and updated rooms."

If you can’t afford to stay here, drop by the lobby bar for a mid-afternoon whiskey sour.
Michelin Guide
"Double balconies, arched windows and a hand laid marble lobby floor made downtown Austin's grandest hotel into a frontier palace."
