We were there visiting our kids in Austin. Staff is wonderful! Rooms so comfortable! The pool was very nice. Breakfast buffet is a little pricey for what’s in it but was good. The beds were sooo comfy!!

I was there for a national meeting of our company, and everything went very well. The room was nice, the service was very good, and the food was excellent. The things I would think could improve would be the pillows, they were too soft for me a few of the other people at the meeting and speed of the elevators was slow and during the meeting it took a long time to get to meetings on different floors. But overall, I like how the meeting was handled and the service that was provided.

Stayed for a few nights to see the city. Welcomed by great night shift staff on reception and were pleased with the spacious room with great views. Don’t worry about the construction outside it’s not that noisy. Tasty breakfast with more great service. We used the gym and pool each day. My only suggestion is they clean the pool and pool furniture which were both a bit grubby. Good position for exploring Austin.

I've stayed at most of the downtown Austin hotels over the years, and the Fairmont is my go-to every single time. The staff are fantastic and the property is everything you could ask for.One thing worth mentioning: there's a massive construction site across the street. It sounds worse than it is. The hotel is so well insulated for sound that it never really became an issue during my stay.My only real gripe is breakfast. If you book a rate that includes it, don't plan on eating in your room. In-room dining wasn't accepting any orders for the entirety of the Sunday I was set to check out. Plan to eat downstairs instead.That one hiccup aside, the Fairmont stays my first choice anytime I'm in Austin for business.

We really enjoyed our weekend stay at the Fairmont. The spa experience was the highlight with the use of the dry sauna, steam room, ice bath after the message. The entire experience was excellent and we will be back. The outdoor pool and adjoining bar with happy hour was very active.The location is excellent given proximity to river and Rainey street.The only slight negative is the rooms are somewhat dated but large and comfortable.I would definitely recommend The Fairmont for a weekend getaway.
