"Perhaps one of Austin's most luxurious getaways. Lake Austin Spa is located about more than a half-hour drive from town, deep into a wooded ravine right along the banks of Lake Austin."

"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.

"Double balconies, arched windows and a hand laid marble lobby floor made downtown Austin's grandest hotel into a frontier palace."
