Austin - hotels, resorts?
 
Although I lived in Austin for a couple of years, I am not familiar with the hotels there (outside of downtown). For golfing any recommendations? Barton Creek CC? What about Lakeway Inn on the Lake? <BR> <BR>Something romantic?

As a native and still living here I think your bet bet is the Inn of the Hills in Lakeway. Unless it has changed names. You also can rent a condo in the same area. Very accessable to golf and the lake:-)

If you're looking for an elegant, romantic hotel, it's hard to beat the Driskill near the UT campus. This is where LBJ tool Lady Bird for their frist date! <BR>Sure, you can always drive out to various golf courses from there.

True the Driskill is wonderful and also the newly re-opened Stephen F Austin Hotel right next door!!! <BR>Either one is beyond nice!!

If you want to be near the lake, you simply CANNOT beat Vintage Villas B&B. <BR>It's off RR620, on Eck Lane and has beautiful lake views, great breakfast, and very romantic. All rooms have a patio that overlook the lake. <BR>Great golf at River Place is 10 minutes away.
