Romantic Getaways in Austin, Texas

If you’re looking to dial up the romance deep in the heart of Texas, I’ve got just the weekend for you. I live in Austin and over the years, I’ve discovered that romantic getaways in Austin, Texas are all about blending music, sunsets, and a touch of Hill Country charm. You’ll find everything from rooftop cocktails downtown to starry nights in a secluded cabin—trust me, it’s a trip you’ll both remember.

Highlights:

• I’ve stayed in chic boutique hotels with rooftop bars where you can sip wine and watch the skyline glow—perfect after a day of exploring.
• You’ll love a romantic walk around Lady Bird Lake or through the blooms at Zilker Botanical Garden—I go back every time I visit.
• When I need quiet, I book a Hill Country cabin just outside the city. You’ll find hot tubs, hammocks, and skies full of stars.
• Don’t miss sunset at Mount Bonnell—bring a blanket—and dine lakeside on Lake Travis afterward. I’ve done both, and the views never disappoint.
• Want to slow things down even more? You’ll both enjoy couples’ spa treatments or wine tastings in Driftwood or Fredericksburg—I’ve written entire features on those gems.
