Fodor's "The lobby features a variety of hip hang-out spots, from the Records Room to Trace, the in-house restaurant featuring a locally-sourced, seasonal menu"
Jetsetter "Also close by, La Condesa is a top restaurant for haute Mexican cuisine and excellent margaritas"
Oyster "The hotel's Living Room bar areas and rooftop pool are popular gathering spots for Austinites, and the on-site restaurant, Trace, is one of the city's culinary hot spots"
Gayot "For dining, American cuisine is served poolside, in the Living Room and in the main restaurant"
BlackBook "Spa, rooftop pool, fitness center, restaurants are welcomed amenities, but you'll forget all about them when the musicians come out to play"
Frommer's "The über-hip hotel bar stays packed, especially after shows, and restaurant TRACE is sophisticated and stylish—a great spot to enjoy a champagne brunch or a hot date"
Afar Magazine "And that restaurant, TRACE, is a local hot spot in its own right; don’t miss a true Texas brunch on the patio on Sundays, complete with live jazz"
Condé Nast Traveler "The restaurant, Trace, has a "cuisine with a conscience" menu that emphasizes locally produced ingredients"
Star Service "The restaurant, Trace, cuts to the chase at all meals, with a menu more in tune with California than most Texans will admit"
