Nestled alongside the Colorado River and Mckinney Roughs Nature Park, just 13 miles from Austin-Bergstrom Airport, sits the future home of Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa.
Scheduled to open in Spring 2006, the resort provides a luxurious meeting experience with 65,000-square-feet of indoor meeting space, complete with a 16,000-square-foot ballroom. The adjacent nature park provides a picturesque backdrop for more than 110,000 square feet of outdoor venue.
The resort features a 30,000-square-foot spa, eight restaurants, live music lounges and bars, an outdoor amphitheater and 18-hole golf course.
Incorporating the surrounding wilderness, Lost Pines entices guests to indulge in a variety of activities. A 1,100-acre nature preserve with hiking and biking trails, horseback riding with a private equestrian center, rafting, kayaking and fishing on the Colorado River attracts adventure travelers. Kids and teens will enjoy the Hyatt’s private water park, complete with lazy river, three pools, waterslides and ice cream parlor.

Single in the City 101
The Washington Post
(February 13, 2005)
“For those looking for Mr. or Miss Right, we’ve scoped out four cities—Austin, Colorado Springs, San Diego, and Raleigh-Durham, N.C.—with some of the country’s largest populations of young professional singles.”
“For bars/restaurants swarming with singles, cruise SoCo along Congress Avenue. Other hot spots: Oslo, for metrosexuals and the women who primp like ‘em; Iron Cactus for tequila shooters; and Cuba Libre for manicures and martinis, followed by men."
Messing with Texas
Estates West
(Spring 2005)
“The cheese stands alone, and so does Austin among all the towns in Texas. The Live Music Capital of the World and hippest, most-nuanced haunt in the Southwest, this city looks and feels different from other Lone Star destinations—much to pride, prejudice and pleasure to those who call it home.”
“It’s true: Austinites are as varied as buttons in a jar, ranging from left wingers to conservative cowboys to technology gurus (Michael Dell) to movie stars (Sandra Bullock) to pro athletes (Lance Armstrong). Celebrities and unknowns relish the casual atmosphere, fantastic food (especially barbeque at County Line or Salt Lick) and internationally renowned music and film scenes.”
Weekend Away-Austin
Country Home
(March 2005)
“Host to some of the best live music in the country, great architecture and interior design, and a population of youthful free spirits, Austin, Texas is a favorite stomping ground for our editors.”
Texas
Corporate & Incentive Travel
(January 2005)
“Besides an abundance of music, Austin has made significant investments in their own convention center, a new airport and other facilities to enhance their service to meetings and conventions. The Austin City Convention Center doubled in size, and Austin added 1,000 new downtown hotel rooms including the Hilton Austin 800-room convention center hotel.”
