PB hotel design editorial

At 37 floors and roughly 1,048 rooms, the sheer scale of Fairmont Austin made it the largest hotel in Texas when it opened in 2018 — a glass tower by Page Southerland Page rising above the Waller Creek corridor just east of the Convention Center, its curtain wall catching the last amber light of the city's horizon in the aerial image here with an almost cinematic insistence. The brief was essentially civic in ambition: anchor a district, serve the convention trade, and do it without the anonymous blankness that usually follows from those constraints. The interiors navigate that tension with varying success. Guest rooms split between two distinct treatments — one leaning into a navy-and-sand palette with bold cabana-stripe carpet and cognac leather headboards, the other settling into a warmer terracotta and burgundy register with patterned geometric wool pile and dark-stained millwork — giving the tower a dual personality that reflects its phased delivery. The standout is the upper-floor bar, where a circular wraparound counter finished in dark granite sits beneath a layered coffered ceiling washed in aqua light, the full-height glazing dissolving the room into downtown skyline. The rooftop pool deck, lined with white chaise lounges against travertine-toned pavers, frames the Frost Bank Tower and the broader Congress Avenue corridor in a composition that gives the property its clearest sense of place.

"Had a great experience at the Fairmont Austin! Rooms were clean, bright and spacious! The bar food was great - especially the sharables! The chicken nuggets or tenders were OUTSTANDING! Bar staff was so great as well!"

"It's not often you receive what you should in hospitality these days. I received everything and more at the Fairmont Austin. Housekeeping was absolutely wonderful- they cleaned everything spotlessly, and turndown service was a huge bonus (ask for it!). The front desk staff was friendly and willing to help at every request. Room service was delicious, however my steak was woefully underdone each time (to be fair, I order it medium, and I received it medium rare to rare each time. I know sometimes they don't want to overcook it, but I'd rather it a bit overcooked than undercooked). Everything was tasty. I tip my hat to the bartenders at Fulton, and the servers at Garrison. Excellent service! The hotel smelled WONDERFUL. I absolutely loved my stay here. I recommend this place 10/10. If you're staying in Austin, you HAVE to stay here. Nowhere else can compare."

"Service and cleanliness were excellent. Location is as good as it gets. Room was nice but pretty normal, didn't blow me away. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for. Overall I'd give it 4.5 out of 5 so I rounded up."
