Four Seasons Hotel Austin
98 San Jacinto Blvd.
(512) 478-4500
Standard Rates from $385/night

A luxury hotel overlooking Lady Bird Lake in Central Austin, close to the 6th Street and Warehouse Entertainment Districts, Austin Convention Center and the Austin Children's Museum. Try to score a room on the lake side, and shoot for floors 7-9, above the heinous electric wires that mar the view and add extra "atmosphere" to the pool area. These rooms are also a prime viewing spot for the bats that live under the bridge to the right, who make their mass exodus at dusk. Construction is beginning on the city side of the hotel for the new Four Seasons condos.

Driskill Hotel

Gorgeous and historic hotel - regarded as a centerpiece for Austin's high society. The Driskill has been lauded as one of the most haunted hotels in America, so you might catch a few ghostbusters around. If you'd like to not go entirely bankrupt but still check out this truly beautiful Austin landmark, try out the 5-star Driskill Grill at lunch time or visit the bakery.
