AUSTIN,
TX…Casual hill country elegance unites with modern luxury in the new
25,000-square-foot spa at Lake Austin Spa Resort. Designed to integrate the
peaceful charm of this renowned resort with the finest amenities of a modern
destination spa, the new facility will be seven times larger when completed
than the current Healing Waters Spa. Opening in March of 2004, the new spa
is destined to be one of the most unique in America and the retreat of
choice for visitors seeking a world class spa vacation.
Blending
with the existing Hill Country vernacular architecture of the resort, the
new buildings are constructed of Texas limestone, cedar and stucco, with
metal roofs. They sprawl gracefully across the property’s natural lakefront
landscape. The new treatment area includes a 22,000-square-foot building
with large screened porches, outdoor men’s and women’s courtyards and a
luxury outdoor treatment suite. The Pool Barn houses a 25-yard climate
controlled covered lap pool for year-round swimming and water classes. The
backdrop is sparkling Lake Austin and grounds beautifully xeriscaped with
native plantings and granite gravel paths. An outdoor pool and extensive
water features set the mood for the stunning gardens that frame the
buildings’ entrance.
With
this expansion, Lake Austin Spa Resort can provide a vast array of custom
services for deserving guests. The facility includes twenty-one treatment
rooms with in-room showers, and nine outdoor treatment rooms including
screened porches, garden tents and poolside cabanas. A tandem, or couple’s
treatment room features a Hydrotherapy tub with color therapy and a Vichy
shower.
A new
salon offers guests with priceless finishing touches, without which no spa
experience is complete. The salon provides complete hair and nail care by
frequent guest stylists, as well as private makeup application.
An added
feature of the new spa are private men’s and women’s locker rooms, complete
with individual lockers, bathrooms and showers, lounge areas and fully
stocked vanities. Each has its own sauna, steam room, whirlpool and an
outdoor stone-walled courtyard with fountains, outdoor showers and private
treatment tents. The ladies locker room courtyard presents an intimate
setting for private parties or small groups.
Guests
can enjoy the breathtaking view of Lake Austin in the Great Room, where a
screened porch is perfect for relaxing prior to and after treatments. Other
unique features of the new spa facility include: outdoor treatment tents; an
outdoor suite featuring a private whirlpool, fireplace and shower; an
acupuncture/chiropractic treatment area, and a covered screened porch with
two treatment areas. Plans also call for a spa café with al fresco dining.
Upon request, a private meeting room with AV capabilities and a private
garden are available. There are also separate parking and entrances for day
and overnight guests. Unlike many other spas, Lake Austin Spa Resort
remains open daily until 11pm for the convenience of local guests.
Recently, the resort has been honored as one of the Top 25 Luxury Resorts by
Departures Magazine and as a Top Five U.S. Spa by the readers of the 2003
Zagat Survey. For more information, please contact Darlene Fiske, Director
