Austin: the Bachelorette Capital of Texas

What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but based on the buzz surrounding Austin as a bourgeoning bachelorette destination, clearly the same doesn’t apply to the Texas capital.

Less debauched than Las Vegas but with more to see and do than far-flung resort destinations, Austin’s appeal for bachelorette parties has grown steadily thanks to its abundance of live music, world-class dining, hip bars and wellness-inspired activities, from stand-up paddle boarding on nearby Lady Bird Lake to hiking and biking on the area's many trails.

“As the average age of first-time brides increases, we’ve noticed a broadening of the types of activities included in a bachelorette weekend itinerary,” says Social Catering Manager Marcos Lopez. “We’ve really taken that to heart at Four Seasons and tried to incorporate a wide range of programming.”

For example, bachelorettes who choose to stay at Four Seasons Hotel Austin have access to several exclusive activities and amenities:

• On-Demand Margarita Cart: Our Margarita Cart service brings one of America’s favourite beverages straight to guests with the simple push of a Margarita button on the guest room phone.
• After-Hours in The Spa: The ultimate in exclusivity, bachelorette parties can enjoy a night time takeover of The Spa complete with luxurious spa treatments, a visit from the mobile Margarita Cart and optional add-ons such as a hair braid bar or interactive bath bomb classes.
• Vino & Vinyasa Yoga: Taught by a certified sommelier and yogi, these free monthly classes combine classic vinyasa poses and wine education. After a quick cool down, participants put the tidbits they’ve learned to use during a comparative tasting of two wines.
• Champong: A college standby - with a Four Seasons update. Bachelorettes can test their tossing skills on one of our custom Champong tables.
• Vintage Picnic on the Lake: Groups can take in Austin’s stunning skyline from the comfort of a vintage fiberglass boat. Each boat comes with a gourmet Four Seasons picnic basket and a Polaroid camera – perfect for capturing highlights from this one-of-a-kind retro experience.
• Bachelorette Brunch: Widely regarded as one of the best brunches in Austin, Sunday Brunch at Ciclo features an expansive spread of food along with Mimosas and other creative cocktails. Enjoy a leisurely weekend meal on the patio surrounded by friends, verdant gardens and picturesque lake views.

Aside from these on-property ideas, our Concierge team is well-versed in – and connected to – the best restaurants, hottest bars and the many unique-to-Austin activities that will make any Austin bachelorette party a memorable one.
