Kick Up Your Boots for a “TEXclusive Summer” at Four Seasons Hotel Austin

The sounds of summer are calling at Four Seasons Hotel Austin through August 31, 2025. The Hotel hangs its hat on TEXclusive Summer, a collection of experiences featuring Texas products and purveyors curated for locals – and those who want to live like one.

Centrestage at Live Oak

The unmistakable sounds of Austin dance through Live Oak with live music performances Wednesday through Saturday evenings. Featuring a rotating lineup of local musicians, the series highlights a variety of Texas styles—from laid-back acoustic sets to lively Americana and blues—set against panoramic views of Lady Bird Lake. It's a celebration of local talent and summer nights in one of Austin’s most iconic settings.

Chillside at The Pool

Chill out at the coolest place in Austin, literally. The Hotel’s saltwater pool—cooled by two state-of-the-art chillers—offers a serene yet vibrant escape in the heart of the city. With sweeping lake views and the downtown skyline as a backdrop, it's the perfect place to cool off and soak up the Austin vibe. On weekends, the atmosphere heats up (while the pool stays an evenly dispersed 83 degrees F/28 degrees C) with live DJ sets from the lakeside music stage, The Point, creating a lively soundtrack for sun-soaked afternoons. A rotating mix of poolside perks—such as Texas-themed floats, locally crafted snacks, frozen cocktails, and surprise summertime treats—keeps the experience fresh, fun, and terrifically Texas.

The Hidden Flask Speakeasy-Inspired Pop-Up Lounge

Knock twice at The Hidden Flask for a story-worthy evening of sophistication and exclusivity, where every moment is steeped in intrigue. Get a unique peek inside of Austin’s favourite specialty suite, which has been transformed into an exclusive summer pop-up each Thursday to Saturday evening. Savour the smoothness of local aged spirits and the complexity of house-made infusions and bites; all served with a dash of mystery.

Adding to the allure, The Hidden Flask will host a rotating guest bartender series, featuring renowned mixologists from across the country and some of Austin’s most beloved speakeasies. The series begins stirring June 5-7, 2025 with lead bartender J’Nai Williams of award-winning Chandelier Bar at Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans. Each week brings a new perspective behind the bar, with custom-crafted cocktails, one-night-only menus, and the signature creativity of some of the industry’s finest.
