Fodor's Expert Review Hyatt Regency Austin

208 Barton Springs Rd., Austin, Texas, 78704, USA

On the shores of Lady Bird Lake in between the Congress and South First Street Bridges, this hotel provides great views and convenient downtown access. The huge, skylit lobby opens into a central atrium rising 17 stories. Rooms have 32-inch flat-screen TVs and iPhone docking stations. Request a high-floor room to ensure views of Lady Bird Lake and Austin’s skyline. Business meetings, wedding parties, and seasonal events at the nearby Auditorium Shores keep the Hyatt hopping year-round.
