Of course, Austin is the best known town in the Hill Country region. And, although it is a large city, Austin offers plenty of opportunities for a romantic getaway.
The historic Driskill Hotel affords Austin visitors elegant accommodations with a convenient location. Many hotels, such as the Radisson and Holiday Inn Town Lake offer panoramic views of scenic Town Lake right in the heart of Austin. The elegant Crowne Plaza is conveniently located near all major Austin attractions. Those looking to be pampered have their choice of full-service spas such as Barton Creek Spa and Resort or Lake Austin Spa Resort.
Austin also offers a wide variety of dining options. Restaurants which afford a view, such as The Oasis on Lake Travis are always a good way to make an Austin visit unique.
Obviously, Austin isn’t the only town in the Hill Country. In fact, much of the Hill Country’s charm lies in small communities such as Fredericksburg, San Marcos, Kerrville, and Wimberley. These towns – and several other small villages tucked in the rolling hills of central Texas – afford peace and quiet amid scenic landscapes. Plus, most offer quaint restaurants and a variety of small, cottage-industry shops and art galleries, as well as plenty of outdoor activities to round out a romantic vacation.
