Frommer's Review
Austin's Hyatt Regency brings the outdoors indoors, with a signature atrium lobby anchored by a Hill Country tableau of a limestone-banked flowing stream, waterfalls, and oak trees. It's impressive, but the genuine article outside is more striking. The hotel sits on Town Lake's south shore (okay, strictly speaking, this is South Austin, but its size and feel are downtown traits). The north-facing rooms have watery vistas with the downtown skyscrapers as a backdrop. The wealth of outdoor recreation opportunities makes this hotel a good choice. Bat tours and other Town Lake excursions depart from a private dock, where you can also rent paddle boats and canoes. In addition, guests can rent mountain bikes to ride on the hike-and-bike trail outside the door. Rooms have recently been remodeled. They have good beds and a modern-functional look that is comfortable and seems geared more to the business traveler. Those on higher floors facing Town Lake are the most coveted.
