The luxury Loren Hotels and Residences brand opened its much-anticipated property, The Loren at Lady Bird Lake in Austin, featuring 108 well-appointed guestrooms and suites, all with lake and city views. The Loren at Lady Bird Lake opened in summer 2022 and offers guests milk + honey spa; a 24/7 fitness center; a rooftop terrace with an infinity pool; signature event space with 180-degree views; and a lovely destination restaurant called Nido.

Ideally located within minutes of downtown Austin, guests can easily explore the city via the pedestrian bridge across the street from the hotel or complimentary e-bikes available upon request.

“We are thrilled to introduce the city of Austin to The Loren brand with the opening of The Loren at Lady Bird Lake,” said Stephen King, CEO and founder, Loren Hotels. “The beautification of everyday living sits at our core, and every design detail has been inspired by our lakefront location with the Austin skyline in the background. This marks our first property in the U.S., and we know both domestic and international travelers seek elevated hotel stays in locations that organically deliver stellar viewpoints paired with attentive services, amenities and thoughtful design.”
