    The Gold level service was incredible
    I hate writing reviews but this experience was so good I couldn't not. A big reason is that we left something in the room at check out and the staff found it and has kept it for us. We booked to stay for seven nights in a one bedroom with our two young daughters on the gold level which was the best idea. From the doorman who shuttled us to the gold level where we were able to check in while the kids enjoyed refreshments after a long travel day to the staff in the lunch itself who revealed a games cabinet. We loved it so much (and it was snowing back home) we stayed another four nights in the Grand Suite which was even better. It was huge and came with its own kitchen! Without going to long, the pool was always warm, the drinks were always cold, and the staff was always present and went above and beyond at every turn.
    Dear Roblmbeault, Thank you for joining us at Fairmont Austin for a Gold Experience and for taking the time to share your review with the TripAdvisor community! We're so happy that you and your family enjoyed an incredible stay with us. I will share your kind words with our Fairmont Gold team, as I know it will make them all proud to know that they were able to provide you all with a personalized stay that catered to your needs. We're glad you enjoyed both guestrooms, especially our Grand Suite! We look forward to welcoming you and your family back, for another 5-star worthy stay! Sincerely, Nicole Shane Jackson Coordinator, Guest Experience

    Great hotel in the heart of downtown
    We found a great deal on Fairmont and decided to try it out. Per one of the staff members, it was built in March 2018 so fairly recent and it is the largest Fairmont hotel in North America. Due to COVID, the hotel staff are taking plenty of precautionary measures. They expect you to wear a mask in all public areas and take your temperature every time you enter the hotel (as they should!). The entrance to the hotel is breathtaking. There are huge horse sculptures and vivid colors adorning the lobby area. Staff is so friendly. The location is perfect. It’s so close to south congress, all the downtown area is 5 minutes away and the rooms offer beautiful views of downtown. We only ate one meal at the Fulton which was our breakfast. Everything was deliciously prepared especially the waffle with the vanilla cream. I did find the seating to be a little uncomfortable for eating since there are mostly couches but still I loved the ambience. The pool on the 7th floor is wonderful with a great view of the downtown. The kids has a blast. I used the fitness room too which also had a great view but the peloton bikes need some servicing. My only complaint was that housekeeping service did clean our room but they did not vacuum. I find that this happens a lot when we stay at hotels. Is it a policy not to vacuum a room when the guests will be using it for multiple nights? It’s very annoying when you’re staying with three kids who are messy. But this is not a complaint of Fairmont but of hotels in general. In summary, we would love to come back here!
    Good morning Mahveshf, Thank you for choosing the Fairmont while visiting Austin with your family and for taking the time to share your detailed review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the unique pieces of art of the hotel and its central location. We will be glad to share your compliments with our team, especially with the patisserie staff for the delicious waffles. It is also with a particular attention that I read your comments about the bike and the housekeeping service. We value your feedback and are working with our team to improve the experiences that fell short of perfection. We look forward to welcoming you back. Sincerely, Eglantine Plumerand Guest Experience Director

    Fairmont Austin
    Modern with classic design elements. Service is impeccable as you expect. The room was spacious. The bed, linens and pillows were of the highest quality and comfort. However, the sofa in the room was very stiff and not something I would consider comfortable. Other cons: There was no room in the beverage refrigerator for anything else. It is only intended for their in-room beverage service. I suspect you could request a mini-fridge be brought to the room for personal items. I would like to see the location do away with the single use shampoo/conditioner items as other hotel chains are doing. I was in a handicap accessible room and the shower had absolutely no place to put shampoo or soap other than on the floor. This seems like a big oversight.for the space.
    Good Afternoon mr78704, We would like to thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your stay at the Fairmont Austin and for your five star rating. We are delighted to read that you found the service "impeccable" , beddings "of the highest quality and comfort". It is also with a particular attention that I read your comment about the sofa, the mini bar and the shower. I would like to apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you.Please rest assured knowing we are taking corrective action with our team to ensure this does not occur moving forward.Thank you again for bringing this remarks to our attention, as it is only through constructive observations that we are able to continually monitor and so improve the services we provide. We look forward to welcoming you back soon to the Fairmont Austin. Kindest Regards, Eglantine Plumerand Guest Experience Director

Had a fantastic experience at Fairmont Gold in Austin! Celebrating a birthday with my sisters during a short weekend stay. The team at Fairmont Gold was warm, welcoming and so accommodating - helping with our check-in and check-out, arranging a birthday surprise, and working to help us make the most of our time. Many thanks to Fernanda, Dine, Jack, Valeska & Sarah! We are already planning a return trip when we can stay longer!

I had the Luxe Pedicure with No Saletta and it was the best pedicure ever! She was so attentive to my needs and desires, and really transform the health, feel, and look of my feet and toes. She also provided tips for taking care of my nails better. This service is one I want to have at least every few months. I cannot recommend it enough. And you get access to the wonderful so amenities all day! Ni went above and beyond!

A facial with Matthew will have you looking renewed and glowing. Arrived early to enjoy the saline soaking pool and eucalyptus steam grotto. It was the perfect escape. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment soon.... you won't regret it!

I grew up in San Jose, California and The Fairmount Hotel in San Jose is in downtown San Jose. When I would visit the library downtown I would see the Fairmount and dream of staying in the hotel. Flash forward to today. I spent 4 days in the Fairmont in Austin. I had the best nights of sleep I have had in at least a year. I slept so well I did not know where I was. I felt like I was the only guest on this floor because there was no disturbing noise from other rooms. My housekeeping attendant was a dream and made sure I had everything I needed. Room service was great and the food tasted great. I also loved the turndown service with the lovely sweet chocolete biscuit. I would stay here again!!!
