Four Seasons -Austin

by Southpaw Soriano at Citysearch

I'm an Event planner, I have the reponsibility of scouting and recommending venues all over the world for my clients. The Four Seasons-Austin is one of my faves! The Hotel is fabulous, the customer service is world class, I can assure you being Brazilian-American, and a Miami native I come from a world of diversity and free spirits... so I recognize a person's freedom to live and enjoy their life. But for the Four Seasons to be homophobic is craziness and almost unbelievable to me, I wonder if this was just an "off day" for them. I know the Mgr and am familiar with the concierge staff; I have never gotten the feeling that they were homophobic in the least, however, if I'm wrong, my apologies. I can remind you that discretion is well advised if you're in the Lobby of a place such as The Four Seasons, after all, it is not the red light district in Shanghai. So if I may, I totally get the "affection" thing, no matter what your sexual orientation, but discretion is always a "first class" idea. And although Austin is a very "diverse" and "free spirited" locale, The Four Seasons is a first class Resort and one should act accordingly. I would guess, your sexual orientation is accepted by more people these days than you know, I say love and be loved, just err on the side of what's tasteful...and not "tacky" no matter where you go. But then, this is my humble oppinion, I welcome yours.

Comfortable Space

by RNDebrah at Citysearch

I stayed here while visiting my daughter and it was a great experience over all. The location itself was quite convenient to all the Austin visits. I felt that it was a little pricey but it was the Four Seasons, what else would you expect. I would recommend if you wanted something on the formal side.

• Pros: Great Location
• Cons: Price

Everything was amazing

by ddaniel11 at Citysearch

They never let us down. We love staying here as well as just going for some drinks. We loved it so much that it's where my wife and I got married. We stayed there for a week along with our wedding party and everyone had nothing but great things to say about it. It's a great weekend getaway without leaving town.

This is such a nice getaway, and it is right in the heart of the city. The rooms are wonderful, the brunch is amazing, the grounds are beautiful and the staff is friendly.

The Spa

The Spa at the Four Seasons is INCREDIBLE! Great service for the price, I was very suprised.

I will definately be going back.

In Short
Majestic, high-backed leather chairs and tasteful sofas aid the soft lighting, greenery and fireplace in creating an intimate setting. Tables are a good distance apart, affording privacy. Though popular with politicos and businessmen after work, the lounge is also a relaxing way to begin a romantic evening. The menu is famous for martinis like the Austin Sunset--Skyy vodka, Grand Marnier and cranberry juice. Hors d'oeuvres include duck quesadillas and pot stickers.

In Short
While the exterior of the Four Seasons has a Mediterranean feel, the lobby is decorated in a Southwestern motif. The tile and earth tones emphasize this first-rate hotel's casual, yet classy, feel. The 291 plush rooms are available with city or lake views. It was built in the '70s, when high ceilings weren't really in vogue, but the amenities--24-hour concierge, fitness center, outdoor pool, on-call massage therapist and spa packages--are quite modern.

Great new renovations

by steveo45 at Citysearch

I've stayed at the Four Seasons off and on for a while, and the staff is consistently the top of the line for politeness and friendly service. The standard room is a little small, but very comfortable and has everything you need. Much more comfortable than the Driskill, Omni, SF Austin. The new restaurant is pretty good, and the new spa is the best. Very smart choice to renovate that spa!

• Pros: Great spa and workout room

Very Romantic and upscale

by craftychick at Citysearch

My husband and I like to go here after a nice dinner downtown and it never disappoints. The atmosphere feels very romantic and quiet, and is a welcome alternative to the downtown "hot spots" and is a great place for couples. The piano music is also very nice and the service is outstanding.

• Pros: Atmosphere, service, great drinks
• Cons: None

Perfect!

by shorner at Citysearch

The Four Seasons is by far the best hotel I have ever been to. The staff is amazing, the could not be better. I think that other hotels should have there employees stay at this establishment and take notes.
