My stay at the Fairmont was nothing short of excellent. From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, professional, and genuinely attentive. Check-in was smooth, the room was spotless, and the attention to detail throughout the property really stood out. The hotel itself is beautiful — modern, luxurious, and thoughtfully designed. The room was spacious, comfortable, and quiet, with an incredible bed and great views. Everything felt high-end without being stuffy. Amenities were top-tier, especially the pool and common areas, which had a great atmosphere. The location is perfect — walkable, central, and close to everything you’d want to experience. Overall, this is exactly what you expect from a Fairmont: quality, comfort, and outstanding service. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a premium hotel experience

My wife was at a conference and my wife was there all day by herself. The first full day she was at the pool and there was little service - no umbrellas put up, food was left by her chaise, had to ask where to get food, etc. Booked an all day spa experience and found it to be very crowded and dirty. Cleaning service was good after she called them.

If you've never stayed in a Fairmont Gold property you're missing out. It's basically a hotel within a hotel. You get your own dedicated check in desk with dedicated staff. You have a lounge to access with free beverages including an honor bar system where you can make your own drinks. You get breakfast and snacks included too. I had a king room with a city view. There is a lot of construction going on around the property so be aware of that. My room was very clean and the staff was very nice. If I had a nitpick it would be that it took a long time for the hot water to come on in my room. Like a good 5 minutes. I was on the 34th floor. I mention this because the property seems fairly new. In San Francisco I stay at the St. Francis and I haven't ever had that issue. Other than that very nice property.

Customer service is lacking

After we went through valet, walked out to the counter and waited in a long line for a while, we were told there was no hot water in it 20% or so there was a gas disconnect from the city. Would’ve been great to notice before we arrive before we got our luggage out of the car at least

We had a great stay here the first time about a month ago, this time was a little disappointing. Excluding the bartender Austin at Rules and Regs, and excluding the check in staff at the Gold Lounge, the service everywhere else was not great. The lobby bartenders/servers and the lady at Good Times was really not warm, welcoming or friendly at all. Almost like we were bothering them for being there. We also asked the concierge if they had some chips because they did the last time and she told me no but I could purchase snacks in my room. Minor thing but still off-putting. We had the complete opposite experience the first time we stayed here where the staff and service everywhere was excellent so just really a let down especially for the price point of a hotel like this. The property itself is beautiful and has great amenities and the gold experience is nice but we are reconsidering having this place as our go to Austin hotel.
