AT&T Hotel & Conference Center (Austin, USA)

Next to the University of Texas campus, with spectacular views of the Tower, this hotel could not have a better location. It is very convenient to walk everywhere on campus, to the Capitol and to the main part of Austin.

Guests rave about their dining experiences at AT&T Executive Education & Conference Center. Award Winning New American Carillon is the main highlight for foodies, with chef created plates made from fresh local ingredients. Even the conference catering is high quality, featuring healthy options and a variety of beverages.

The hotel is absolutely stunning, from the entryways to the rooms themselves. You will notice a grand western theme with oversized furnishings that make you feel "like a millionaire." The beautiful courtyard and ballroom make for unforgettable weddings and receptions.

Many guests found the hotel layout to be complicated and directions to get around are not obvious. Finding your way may be confusing at first, but not a problem once you get familiarized with the grounds. It helps to know there are separate elevators depending what part of the hotel you'd like to access, like the rooms or the parking area. A few guests said it was also hard to find the registration desk and the vending areas are not marked clearly.

The swimming pool at the hotel is not deep, only 3.5 feet at the deepest end. The swimming area is designed more for lounging. If you're interested in doing laps, you can buy a pass to any of the fitness or recreational centers nearby for a small fee at the front desk.

Although most guests had no complains, a few had issues with hearing their neighbors' TV, the elevator. the service staff and birds chirping. Earplugs are suggested for light sleepers as a precaution.
