What Makes a Romantic Couples Hotel?

The essentials for a perfect couples getaway.

In short, hotel suites designed for sex. Luxurious, opulent rooms. Big bathrooms. Deep soaking tubs. Huge mirrors. Floor to ceiling windows. Private balconies. Mirrored ceilings. Room service. An enormous bed. Luxurious bathrobes. Swanky rooftop bars. Mood lighting. 

Austin has more romantic places to stay per square mile than just about anywhere in Texas. Whether you’re after a high-rise suite overlooking Lady Bird Lake or a secluded Hill Country inn with nothing but stars and crickets, there’s a couples hotel in Austin that fits the mood you’re going for.

Reasons to Book a Romantic Weekend in Austin

Whether it’s a staycation or a getaway, Austin has the perfect setup for romance.

Spend some time away from the kids in a romantic hotel. Nothing helps keep the magic alive like time away from the kids. Being lovers, instead of Mums and Dads for a day or two now and then will do your relationship a world of good.

Maybe you live with roommates? If so you’ll want to go somewhere where they don’t have to hear you having sex. So you can moan and scream as much as you like, and no one you know will have to listen to it.

Maybe you need a change of scenery? The same person, the same position, in the same room can get a bit old. So get dressed up like you’re going to a wedding. Drink ridiculously expensive cocktails while groping each other in the hotel lounge bar. Then head up to your romantic hotel suite and try to use ALL the furniture. Yes, even the writing desk, that sofa by the window, and don’t forget the balcony.

And don’t skip the date night dinner. Austin’s restaurant scene is ridiculous — there’s everything from candlelit fine dining to food trucks where y’all can share tacos under fairy lights. A great meal before heading back to the hotel makes the whole evening better.

Or perhaps you’re having an affair? Y’all need to take your lover somewhere you won’t be seen by anyone you know. Austin’s a great city for illicit romance. No one else will discover where you go or what you do in your secret Austin hideaway.

Austin is the top destination for a romantic getaway in Texas.

Planning Your Couples Getaway in Austin

Tips for making the most of your romantic trip.

The best time for a romantic getaway in Austin, Texas is spring (March–May) or fall (October–November) when the weather’s warm but not sweltering, and the city’s patios and rooftop bars are at their best. February’s great too if you’re planning a Valentine’s Day trip, but book early — every couple in Texas has the same idea.

If y’all are visiting during SXSW (mid-March), ACL Festival (October), or Formula 1 (late October), expect hotel prices to double or triple. That said, the energy during those events is electric and can make for an unforgettable couples weekend in Austin. Just book at least 2–3 months ahead.

For the most romantic experience, book a hotel with a great restaurant or bar on-site so you don’t have to Uber anywhere after dinner. Four Seasons, The Loren, Austin Proper, and Hotel Van Zandt all have excellent on-site dining. Or venture out to one of Austin’s best date night restaurants — Uchi, Emmer & Rye, and Lenoir are all popular with couples.
