Barton Creek Resort & Spa, A KSL Luxury Resort

We booked the hotel when we had a night away from our kids. It was a very nice property and staff was friendly and accommodating. You are only a few minutes from restaurants and stores, but the property is so large and located in the hills, that you feel like you are away from the city, which is nice. We had a 2-double room, because king rooms were […] sold out. We really disappointed, since this was a romantic night away, but the person at the front desk said there was nothing they could do. The room was very spacious and clean. Our only complaint is that the beds are not very comfortable. They have feather beds on them, which in my opinion subtracts comfort rather than adds to it. Other than that, a nice hotel and a good stay. Read more

Room – we were offered an upgraded room. But there were PROBLEMS. No water Saturday morning. A/C went out (>4hrs) Saturday and Sunday morning power goes out and when it restored TV does not work. A few positives - comfortable bed and pillows, late checkout. The resort is dated. Dinning - At the bar and grill - the Tortilla soup was good and the bread […] pudding was decent. Very pricey and food not four star. Sunday breakfast buffet - overpriced - not four star. The creamer was very dirty. Callaway fitting - the whole experience was nice, immediate feedback and the Representative did not try to sell me what I did not need. Golf Courses - are beautiful, played the Crenshaw. The greens are tricky, fairways forgiving. All courses priced high. Anyone can play a Fazio course in Texas just go to El Paso a third of the price at Barton, which includes all the cold bottle water you can drink and cold towels, not at this resort. Notification of golf bag storage at club house would be nice. The Crenshaw course needs more signs leading to the first hole - the sign was painted on a rock and barely noticeable. Tell customers driving range is opposite to the golf courses. Customer service: was ok. We had good experience with registration, dinning and golfing services. Given that there were issues throughout our stay you would think the resort would have offered some type of incentive – not so. Due to the problems, we didn't think the resort was worth the price we paid. Read more

We've stayed at this hotel before and chose to stay again due to it's comfort and the beauty of the location. We were extremely disappointed to find out that construction had begun in the room down from ours one evening and early the next morning. How did we find out you ask? The very loud drilling sounded and felt like it was right under our floor. […] This room never should have been used. The noise was way too loud for comfort and tarnished our intended relaxing stay.

My husband and I went here for a "night away" while he was home on leave from Afghanistan. This place was perfect. The staff was incredibly friendly. I can't wait to stay here again.

If you are looking for a respite from the urban chaos, this is the place to go. Tucked away in the rolling hills of Austin, this peaceful paradise awaits you. The grounds are beautiful and full of outdoor activities; hiking, tennis, golfing and swimming. The rooms are just as spacious as the great wide skys of Austin. The spa is surprisingly lacking […] for a hotel of this caliber. The staff borders on being unprofessional and the locker areas are not very conducive to relaxing. However, the rest of the hotel staff and food services make up for this unexpected oversight. Read more

We stayed at this resort over Christmas. It's in a very upscale neighborhood surrounded by private golf courses. If you play golf, it's great. If you don't, it's likely to be quite boring, since it's quite a distance from downtown and Austin's other cool areas. The spa/health club is pretty nice. There are a couple very overpriced restaurants on the […] facility, but nothing else within a 15 min drive. Over Christmas, they did have a ice skating rink open, which was pretty fun. In sum, for golf for a country club atmosphere, it's great; otherwise, you might want to pick something more convenient. Read more

The resort was everything you would hope for a luxury hotel to be. The only thing was the 1st room we had without a view had a high wall basically right outside the glass doors to the balcony. Fortunately the next night we were able to change to a room with a view for a minimal fee. Th whole atmosphere of the resort was very romantic.After we changed […] rooms we were in heaven. I have already raved about it to many people. I can't wait to go back again. Read more

Barton Creek Resort was a complete suprise to us! The location in relation to Downtown Austin was fantastic, only a 15 minute drive! The service at the hotel was wonderful and the staff couldn't be nicer. Oh, did I mention their 4 fabulous golf courses...but golfers beware...these courses are not the easiest - but they are beautiful! We will for sure […] be going back!!! Read more

If it makes sense, my wife and I had a terrible experience at a great hotel/resort. The hotel itself was quite nice. Good surroundings, food, atmosphere, and amedities. However, our trip started off with a 3-hour delayed check-in with no compensation offered. When we first arrived we were told the wait would be just 30 minutes to an hour so we sat […] and waited. 3 hours later, we finally got our room. When we asked to speak to a supervisor/manager, we were told one was not available. Later on that night, we noticed that there was a big stain on the sheets in the middle of the bed. These are not experiences I expect at a 4-star hotel! When the first day's fiasco was over we had a pretty good time but the 3-hour delay pretty much wasted an entire day for us. I'm sorry to say we will not be returning to this hotel/resort and would not recommend this place to anyone. Read more

I was truly impressed with this hotel. We felt like royalty. The staff went out of their way to help us. The room was so comfortable and so spacious. We were so happy we stayed an extra day. I can wait to get Back to Austin and stay here again.

The only way to describe this oasis in the middle of Texas is spectacular! This was my first stay at the Barton Creek Spa & Resort. I have stayed in Austin many times at other high end hotels but Barton Creek offered what these other hotels could not offer which is the experience to be treated like Royalty. This was my first stay at the Resort and I […] have to say I enjoyed immensely. When I arrived I was greeted by the valet by name, a very professional touch. The valet asked if he could help with my bags I respectfully declined, I actually only had one bag and felt it was a bit elitist of me to say "why yes you may" but I really enjoyed it. I stepped into the lobby at the entrance there were couches and a refreshing huge decanter of water with lemon in it, I was glad because I was parched. I walk up to the concierge to ask about checking in they pointed me in the right direction. The people were very friendly and asked if I had any special request for my stay, again professional courtesy, I was started to feel like maybe I should be moving in I could really get use to this treatment. I finally made it to my room after walking through this beautiful building. The room was very comfortable the room temperature was just right. The bathroom counter tops made of granite and the shower walled with stone material it was very nice and elegant. The beds were very comfortable and soft. There was a desk needed to do my writing and a mini-bar for my convenience. I really did enjoy the selection they offered in the mini-bar. There is also a flat panel TV in every room a great selection of channels. In the morning we went on to enjoy our breakfast at Hill Country which was very nice freshly squeezed orange juice, the aroma of rich bold coffee filled the room and was truly a delight of heaven. I ordered pancakes but they were no ordinary pancakes, they were blue berry. If you every had pancakes before, which many of us have but I'm telling you the truth this was the first time I ha Read more

Our flights were delayed so we ended up arriving at the resort around 1:00am and they'd already assigned our "non-smoking view king" room to someone else - so they upgraded us to a suite at no extra cost :-D

Amazing views of the hill country. We didn't have to leave the resort because there are two great restaraunts and plenty of entertainment (free putt putt, two pools, spa, pool table, shuffle board, lounge, nature walk, etc.). Very family oriented. Even the standard room was high quality. The perfect getaway!

We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend at Barton Creek. The only downside of our visit was the level of service we received at 8212 Wine Bar and Restaurant inside the hotel. Our service started off well and then as the restaurant filled up it became very obvious how understaffed they were. We sat with empty glasses and finished plates for 20 minutes at […] a time and practically had to beg for our check after being there for two hours. Also, when we first sat down the floor was filthy! It obviously hadn't been vacuumed at our table or the others nearby from the evening before. Not what I expected for a $150 dinner. Read more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel over Meml Day Weekend, and had a nice stay. We booked a balcony with view room (which costs more than the standard rooms) but at check in, they had us in a standard room with no balcony. After we discovered this, they corrected it, but this is one of several room-type errors that we have experienced through hotels.com […] in the last year. The most surprising aspect of the hotel is how kid friendly it is- from check in to check out (and especially at the pool) kids were running, screaming, etc. If we were traveling with kids, this would be welcome, but as a couple seeking a getaway, it was slightly aggravating. The restaurants are fantastic. Read more
