Nice facility, easy access to self covered parking. Room felt like it was for a taller person. I am 5’2”. I could not come close to adjusting shower head. The makeup mirror was too high for me to use. I actually struggled to climb into tall bed.

The concierge sent us to a restaurant that had a minimal happy hour menu available. We specifically requested a restaurant with full menu. He knew when we were going and should never have recommended it. We were told places were an easy 10 minute walk. Took us 30 minutes without stopping. Worst concierge I’ve seen in a long time. Large conference there, so elevator stopped at multiple flors every time.

Pool is fantastic. Although it would be good if the pool bar stayed open later. It does on Fridays, but when you are there on holiday - every day is a Friday! EDIT - Oct 21, 2024. Just wanted to say that I did hear from the wonderful staff on this issue, and was able to discuss the concerns outlined below. Can forgive the oversight, given how incredibly hectic and crazy that day was with the burst main. Have discussed with them, and am happy with the resolution that was offered, which is more than fair. Fairmont will be the hotel I choose next time I'm in Ausin!

There was a burst water main in the building on the last day we were there. It flooded the lifts, and shorted the Air-Con, so our last night was spent in, what I can only describe as a Sauna. I complained to staff upon checking out, and they assured me a manager would be in touch. It's been 7 weeks, and I'm still waiting. I get it wasn't their fault, and these things happen - but I also don't expect to pay full price to stay in a room that is 100 degrees. Would have been nice for them to reach out and discuss my concerns.

The hotel is lovely. Accommodations are immaculate, LeLabo products were most impressive! Bed, pillows, are extremely comfortable, fine linens. Great night sleep due to its comfort. There are several great restaurants to choose from and a nice lounge area. The staff is pristine. Raphael, Jousef, Liz, Israel, to name a few were top notch. All the staff we encountered were very professional and welcoming. The pool bar was really nice and staff was very friendly. This is a wonderful hotel and I highly recommend Fairmont Austin! Very impressive and would stay again and again!

Loved everything!

Nice clean hotel in safe area. Bar was nice with live music with a lunch menu until 5 and bar bites after 5. Small coffee and gift shop a life saver when you can't find anything else to eat. Rooms big and spacious with comfortable beds. Pool is really nice except for staff hard to get attention to bring drinks. Need more waiters. Private cabanas are available for a big price. Get there early for open chairs at no cost. Bar open there also with food. Spa nice with great amenities, just very pricey. Tiki Bar fun on 7th floor near pool also. The front desk is mostly very helpful. Revue/Garrison restaurant food is just okay and very overpriced. Overall, it's still the best hotel downtown with awesome air conditioning!!

Ability to find places to eat in a hotel. There were long lines and wait times but there was a large convention and big wedding going on. Pool staff could be better attentive to patrons. Spa needs to indicate they will be adding 20% tip no matter how the service was. The walkway to the convention center is sketchy, not enclosed. If you're afraid of heights, don't walk on this! Construction is very annoying outside the hotel under the walkway. The front desk needs to give better directions on finding room (2 sets of elevators) and how to pay for parking. Just my opinion.

very elegant, clean. friendly staff

the pool was filthy, as in visible dirt and debris floating everywhere. not enough seating options, slow service. extremely over priced drinks ($32 for a frozen pina colada?!) very expensive food/cocktails in other hotel lounges.

A modern, upscale, vibrant hotel, with some fun restaurants and bars, a great pool, very pleasant rooms and located near all the good places Austin has to offer. A stroll to Rainey Street, to 6th, to Red River st, and to the riverside. Just on the edge of downtown. I rarely give a 10, but this hotel deserves it.

Nothing really. OK, maybe the pool water could have been a little warmer, and the breakfast buffet (which was great) a little more original, as you see in higher end hotels in Europe. But this is really in the category of searching for things to fill into this text box.

Location

House car never available Shower heads need to be changed as the current ones are generic and don’t give a luxury shower experience . Also bottles of shampoo-conditioner and body wash are cumbersome. They need to be attached to the wall and pump would be easier. No television for the entire night on first day of arrival . Said the network down but inconvenience to us as that’s not our issue and we’re never told we would be comped for inconvenience.

I did the Persian wedding the team is working in the hotel they are friendly and helpful.I really appreciate

Only breakfast is not included to my room

An absolutely beautiful hotel. Great staff and great layout of the lobby, bar and restaurant. The pool was beautiful and a great place to go and meet new people. My wife and I had an amazing time there and would definitely be going back. Also, the parking garage was perfect, with an elevator on every floor that was fast and only went up to the lobby.

There was a lot of traffic pulling into the parking lot. It was a little confusing because the traffic went around the corner and it could have been avoided if there was signage letting us know that the right is Valet parking and the left is self parking. Everyone was waiting on the Valet line not knowing.

Other than the pool guards, everything was great!

I travel with a service dog and they were not going to let me go into the pool area until I said that was unlawful to even suggest I wasn't allowed. I understand rules and no dogs in the actual pool, which I told him was fine. But this is also a pet friendly hotel, which I always choose for convenience reasons, and she wears an id harness that indicates a service dog. She sat under my seat the entire time and the other guests had no problem with it.
