Four Seasons Hotel Austin

Evenings at sunset are ideal, Live Oak’s premier deck is made for watching a Texas sunset (and the city’s bats) with a drink in hand. For live-music vibes head Thursday–Saturday nights, and for a daytime treat try the hotel’s seasonal afternoon tea (Mon–Fri, 1:00–3:00 pm during the A-Tea-X run).

At the Four Seasons' Live Oak you can relax in the indoor lounge and lobby bar, enjoy the premier outdoor deck/patio and balcony overlooking the lake, and the hotel also accommodates private parties.

Yes, Live Oak (and the hotel’s speakeasy experiences) make a lovely date-night choice, with a relaxed deck, cocktails, live music and several guests celebrating special occasions.

For afternoon tea, go Monday–Friday afternoons (1:00–3:00 pm); for a livelier evening with live music, Thursday through Saturday are the best nights.
