Officially the largest hotel in the city, Fairmont Austin is situated in the Central Business District, and will add a new dimension to the downtown skyline, with a “lighted crown” programmed with an array of color options and a 170-ft.-tall architectural spire that is illuminated in the evenings, making the building visible from throughout Central Texas.

Fairmont Gold features 131 rooms and suites located on the 32nd through 35th floors, and offers private check-in and checkout; complimentary deluxe breakfast and evening hors d’oeuvres in the Gold lounge; and dedicated concierge team.

Hangouts include Garrison, a modern American grill house; Revue, with a menu touching on Italian and Asian cuisine; Rules & Regs, located on the seventh floor and overlooking Austin’s cityscape and where guests can get their cocktail of choice; Fulton, located in the main lobby with daily live music, local wine, beer and spirits; and Good Things, offering coffee and tea, snacks, and food to go.
