What a gorgeous hotel and property! It is an absolute destination whether on business travel, travel with family, or visiting Austin on holiday. We were first greeted by the extremely kind front desk reception Alexis (March 2026) who was so helpful and offered us an early check in and a beautiful view higher floor room! Her hospitality set the tone for our lovely stay. The hotel room was so spacious, large bathroom and rain shower, and comfortable beds! We also spent a whole day enjoying the blissful spa amenities (amazing massage and whirlpool room) and ended the day at the beautiful outdoor pool. Overall, it was such a wonderful stay! We highly recommend The Fairmont Downtown Austin to anyone for a memorable stay!

We had a great stay. The construction an highway noise were a little loud in the morning, but we turned on a white noise and put in ear plugs.
Whoever turned down our bed both nights (room 1625) deserves a raise. She did an amazing job it was such a treat. I tried to tip her the second night, but she left the cash on the bed. That employee deserves to be acknowledged. I looked for her cart in the hall, but she was already done with our floor.
Had a great time at the pool. Loved the coffee shop. Grateful it opens early.
