April 9, 2024

Breakfast tacos, smoky barbecue, and live music beckon in Austin. But the 108-room Loren gives you just as many reasons to stay put (especially when it’s blazing outside).

Where To Stay In The Lap Of Luxury At F1 Races Around The World

April 2, 2024

Head to Austin’s hottest hotel, The Loren at Lady Bird Lake, for a stay that feels like a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of action downtown, but in reality, is a mere footbridge jaunt away.

This gorgeous property is a glorified greenhouse in the park, complete with an art collection curated by Penny Aaron, destination rooftop restaurant Nido, the milk + honey spa, a 24/7-access fitness center, and, best of all, an expansive terrace with an infinity pool.

I stayed at The Loren at Lady Bird Lake, a hotel that’s perched on the edge of the water overlooking downtown Austin. It’s less than 10 minutes on foot (or 3 minutes by car) from Casa de Luz and is what I like to call a "five-star-plus" hotel. It’s got all the five-star perks you’d expect: great service, beautiful rooms, high-end decor, and a great location — plus a glass elevator leading to a rooftop restaurant, rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, a lobby that’s dripping in art, and real plants everywhere you look. It’s glamorous without being stuffy. And that goes for the service too.
