Food + Drink: Where Locals and Guests Come to Meet

You don’t have to leave the hotel to find some of Austin’s best bites. Austin Proper is home to award-winning restaurants and bars that pull in both locals and travelers for their bold flavors and vibrant atmospheres.

The Peacock Mediterranean Grill

Bright, fresh, and buzzing—The Peacock serves up wood-fired Mediterranean plates with Texas ingredients. Perfect for brunch before hitting a festival or winding down with a mezze platter after a long day.

Goldie’s Sunken Bar

A moody, golden-hued cocktail bar tucked inside the hotel. It’s a local favorite for pre-dinner drinks or late-night lounging. Don’t skip the craft cocktails, they’re as stunning as they are strong. Goldie’s is also open for afternoon tea on the weekends.

La Piscina Rooftop
