PLANS ARE UNDERWAY for the future Hotel Zilker, a small boutique hotel next to Zilker Park Residences, scheduled to open in fall 2010. Everything about this hotel will be authentically Austin, beginning with the site, which opens onto Zilker Park and fronts Barton Springs Road. This special hotel, with its 65 rooms, restaurant, and lushly landscaped courtyard for dining and social gatherings, is expected to be the only hotel ever located on the edge of Zilker Park.
What is also unique about the Hotel Zilker will be its emphasis on health, fitness and outdoor activities, a natural for the location. The restaurant will be eclectic and healthful, with a menu reflecting the best tastes of Austin accompanied by a wide array of beverages and an excellent wine list. Hotel guests can check with the concierge to connect with the best fitness and sports training, coaches, instructors, classes, activities and events that Austin has to offer – cycling, rowing, kayaking, canoeing, running, walking, swimming, Hill Country hiking, weight training, triathlons, yoga, Pilates, tai chi, aerobics, martial arts, soccer and other team sports, and more.
For the homeowners of Zilker Park Residences, having the Hotel Zilker next door is a multi-faceted amenity. The neighborhood restaurant, bar, and hotel courtyard will be easy and interesting places to meet friends, host social gatherings, and tap into the epicenter of Austin’s outdoor and fitness scene. Overflow houseguests, family and friends will have an extraordinary place to stay just footsteps away from the residences.
