Suite, 1 Bedroom, Lake View

This suite faces Lady Bird Lake, which the Four Seasons Hotel Austin sits directly beside in downtown Austin. The hotel has direct access to the Lady Bird Lake Hike & Bike Trail for walking, jogging, cycling, kayaking and canoeing. The Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge, where about 1.5 million bats emerge at dusk from roughly March through November, is a 5-7 minute walk away.

The bedroom has one king bed with Egyptian cotton sheets, a down comforter and a pillowtop mattress. The living area has a queen-size sofa bed. The suite sleeps up to 5 guests, and the hotel provides a free rollaway bed, plus a complimentary crib on request.

The private bathroom has a shower/bathtub combination, designer toiletries, bathrobes, slippers, towels and a hair dryer. The hotel also offers kids' toiletries and child-size bathrobes for families.

Yes. At 667 sq. ft. the suite separates the king bedroom from a living area with a queen sofa bed, so parents and children each have their own space. Four Seasons Hotel Austin is a family-friendly property. It offers child-proofing items, a complimentary Taylor Guitars lending program for children, and babysitting that the concierge can arrange. The pool and grounds are described by the hotel as a "kid oasis".

The suite has a flat-screen TV with premium cable channels and pay movies, a DVD player and an iPod dock. Complimentary Wi-Fi runs at 100+ Mbps, which suits 1-2 people or up to 6 devices. You also get a minibar, free bottled water, 24-hour room service and nightly turndown service.

The outdoor saltwater pool sits along Lady Bird Lake, with daybeds, hammocks, food and drink service, bocce ball and lawn games. It is open daily 6:00 am to 10:00 pm. The hotel closes the pool area for its "Ice Rodeo" holiday ice-skating experience, currently through January 31, 2027, so check dates if you travel in winter.

Ciclo serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a lakeside weekend brunch buffet. Its menu was created with Chef Richard Sandoval and mixes Texas grill with Latin influences. Live Oak is the lobby-level bar with craft cocktails, small plates and an outdoor deck, open daily 1:00 pm to midnight. It also hosts the A-Tea-X afternoon tea, which needs 24 hours' notice. In-room dining runs around the clock, with a margarita cart from 3:00 to 6:00 pm.

The hotel is at 98 San Jacinto Blvd, so much of downtown is on foot. The Austin Convention Center is about a 3-5 minute walk. Rainey Street is about 7 minutes away and Sixth Street is about 0.6 miles. The Texas Capitol is roughly a mile off. For longer evenings out, the hotel offers an evening car service to Downtown for a fee. Parking is by valet or self-park, and third-party sources put it at roughly $59-60 a day.

Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is at noon. Bring photo ID and a credit card for incidentals. Special requests at check-in depend on availability and cannot be guaranteed. The hotel welcomes pets, and they must be leashed outside the room. They are not allowed in The Spa, the pool or food outlets, apart from Ciclo's outdoor patio. The fitness centre is open 24 hours and has Peloton bikes. Spa facilities are open 6:00 am to 8:00 pm, and treatments run 9:00 am to 8:00 pm.
