"This five-story hotel 3 mi south of downtown is an impressive sight from the highway, with its stone-and-whitewashed-yellow facade with "lone stars" everywhere."
"This property is tucked farther back from I-35 than many other highway hotels, making it relatively quieter than some of its neighbors."

Tip: Right across the street, the shack-like Iron Works BBQ is both a great place to eat and a reminder of the old Austin that’s literally losing ground.
"As you may gather from the unorthodox name, the Fairmont Austin Gold Experience isn’t an ordinary hotel, but rather a hotel within a hotel — four private floors within the relatively staid Fairmont Austin, within which is offered an experience that’s a cut above the already luxe Fairmont norm" Full review
