The Texas state capital’s reputation for spirited live music and lanquid waterways inspires two upscale lacustrine destinations.

Lost Pines Resort Spa

LOST PINES DJANGO SPA
Surrounded by forested hills in McKinney Roughs Nature Park, the Lost Pine Resort is a refreshingly remote adventure getaway 20 minutes from downtown Austin. The hotel’s exterior is reminiscent of a nineteenth-century Texas farmhouse, with deep front porches and romantic balconies, but the interior departs from this idiom, with a glass-walled lobby and dual fireplaces framing the view of a (literally) spruced-up Colorado River. In a region where music is as indigenous to the land as the plant life, it’s only natural that the spa is named in the spirit of guitar musician, Django Reinhardt, whose spirit and gypsy music perfectly intertwine with this upscale Austin spa. Quite literally, “Django” translates to “I Awake,” and it is this sense of awakening that has inspired the spa’s pampering treatments which utilize music, art, nature, touch, and movement.
