The three-year multimillion-dollar revitalisation of Four Seasons Hotel Austin is on track for completion this month, complete with a new nature-inspired lobby, lakeside restaurant and tree-top lounge.

Meant to evoke the feel of one of Austin’s luxe lakehouses, the design for the new spaces borrows heavily from the colours, textures and patterns found in the verdant gardens, towering oaks and shimmering waters in the Hotel’s resort-like backyard.

“We tried to enforce the Hotel’s connection to nature in a sophisticated way that’s subdued but still recognisable,” said Michael Dalton, principle of Chicago’s Whitespace Interiors and the creative force behind the look, which is also evident in the recently renovated Spa, fitness centre, guest rooms and suites.

Hotel Lobby

The redesigned lobby will immediately draw guests in with one-of-a-kind details and a view that’s equally as rare. “The view here is unrivalled, it’s what makes this place so spectacular,” says Dalton. “Opening up the view corridor so that guests could see all the way out was tremendously important to the design.”

Complementing those vistas is an elegant chandelier made of blown-glass oak leaves and acorns, which imparts dramatic effect as soon as visitors step inside the Hotel’s steel-and-glass entry doors. On either side, peekaboo floor-to-ceiling sculptural wood slats – reminiscent of a stand of trees – allow a glimpse of the relocated concierge and reception desks, above which two monumental art panels depict the ever-changing silhouettes of oak tree canopies. According to Dalton, the works are made by Texas sculptor Brad Oldham using laser-cut steel, bronze powder and back lighting, providing “surface texture and depth but also a subtle reference to what lies behind you.”

Bold forms and authentic materials such as leather, rich wood and Texas Leuders limestone complete the refined, residential look.

Lobby Bar

Dalton’s nod to nature is also visible in Live Oak, formerly known as the Lobby Lounge. Considered the heart of the Hotel, both literally and figuratively, the space features a central bar with a streamlined profile that accentuates the views, as well as a new deck that’s destined to become one of Austin’s top patios.

Intent on making Live Oak “light-hearted and airy,” Dalton narrowed the exterior walls, replacing them with wide doors that allow natural light to spill throughout the space. Modern architectural elements and finishes, such as volcanic basalt flooring, white oak, medium-tone bronze and blackened steel, further convey a bright and youthful vibe.

Though the palette is consistent throughout, Live Oak’s different elevations project distinct personalities. For example, alcoves with fireplaces and built-in televisions in the upper area provide comfortable spots for lounging, while a multi-tiered central bar – flanked by illuminated bookcases, Dalton’s version of “liquor becomes art” – gives the lower level a dynamic energy.

Accessible through Cantera doors, Live Oak’s new outdoor deck will extend 20 feet (6 metres)toward Lady Bird Lake, allowing up to 47 people to soak in Austin’s unique vibe from sectional sofas, comfy ottomans, wood tables and a concrete fire pit.

New Restaurant and Terrace

Replacing TRIO, the Hotel’s steakhouse since 2007, Ciclo (Spanish for “cycle”) pays homage to the ever-changing seasons and their effect on nature, including the abundance of trees, plants and flowers just beyond the restaurant’s doors.

With these as his muse, Dalton set out to design a space that would be equally as captivating. Mid-century modern forms and influences can be found throughout, from herringbone natural oak flooring and wood columns to four wall-to-wall hand-painted murals that represent each of the seasons.

Seating ranges from channelled leather banquettes in a warm cognac hue to brass-banded tables with tops that alternate between rich rosewood and conifer green.

Like its upstairs counterpart, Ciclo will capitalise on its picturesque setting with wide floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, some of which will open to the restaurant’s newly expanded terrace. As a restaurant inspired by nature, it’s fitting that Ciclo has more outdoor seats than indoor – 112 and 90 respectively – a rarity in Austin.

Ciclo will begin accepting reservations on September 24, 2018 for dining starting October 8, 2018; reservations are not accepted for Live Oak. For more information, call 512 478 4500.
