Get my Austin luxury condo buyer's guide — I'll walk you through Four Seasons Residences' service fees, floor plans, and current inventory.
Four Seasons Residences sits directly above the Four Seasons Hotel Austin at 98 San Jacinto Boulevard, on the north shore of Lady Bird Lake. Completed in 2010, it's the only Austin address where condo ownership comes bundled with genuine five-star hotel service — housekeeping, in-residence dining from the hotel kitchen, and a concierge desk staffed around the clock. For buyers who want a lock-and-leave luxury residence with a full-service hotel standing behind it, there's nothing else quite like it downtown.
The tower holds 148 residences across 32 floors, ranging from one-bedroom flats to expansive lake-view penthouses. Because the building shares its footprint and staff with an operating five-star hotel, owners have access to hotel amenities most condo residents never get — same-day housekeeping, room service, a full-service spa, and event space for private gatherings.
Floor plans run from roughly 900-square-foot one-bedrooms to multi-thousand-square-foot penthouses with wraparound lake and Capitol views. Finishes lean traditional-luxury rather than ultra-modern, with large room proportions, generous closets, and floor-to-ceiling glass on the lake-facing lines. Many owners lease their units into the hotel's rental program when not in residence, which is a distinguishing feature of ownership here versus every other downtown tower.
Residents have access to the Four Seasons Hotel's full amenity package: a resort-style pool deck overlooking Lady Bird Lake, a complete spa and fitness center, 24-hour concierge and valet, and in-residence dining prepared by the hotel's kitchen staff. A dedicated residential lobby and elevator bank keep the ownership experience separate from hotel guest traffic while still granting full access to hotel services.
98 San Jacinto Boulevard sits directly on the Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail, a few blocks from the Austin Convention Center and the Second Street District. It's one of the few downtown addresses with direct, private lake frontage, and it's an easy walk to Rainey Street, the Long Center, and Auditorium Shores.
Ciclo, the Four Seasons' signature restaurant, sits on-site with lake views and is a go-to for residents who want dinner without leaving the building. The hotel's Live Oak lobby lounge and seasonal pool bar round out on-property dining. A short walk brings residents to the Second Street District, Cosme, and the Rainey Street bar scene, or onto the hike-and-bike trail for a lakeside run.
Resale pricing at Four Seasons Residences has historically ranged from around $1.1 million for a one-bedroom to $7.775 million or more for premier lake-view residences and penthouses. HOA dues and any hotel-service charges vary meaningfully by unit and by how much of the hotel's service package is bundled into ownership — this is one building where I always pull the specific HOA and service-fee structure for the unit in question before a client makes an offer, since it can differ significantly from a standard condo assessment. Ask me for current active and recently sold listings in the building.
Four Seasons Residences attracts buyers who specifically want the hotel-service model — frequent travelers who want their home looked after in their absence, out-of-state and international owners who use the unit part-time, and buyers who simply prioritize five-star service over square footage. It's less of a full-time-resident building than some of its downtown peers, which keeps a portion of inventory active on the resale and rental markets at any given time.
I've been selling Austin luxury real estate for 20 years, and Four Seasons Residences is the one building in this city where I can tell a client "you'll never have to think about your home again" and mean it literally — housekeeping, dining, and concierge are all handled by an actual five-star hotel staff. For buyers who split time between Austin and elsewhere, that's not a lifestyle upgrade, it's a completely different ownership model, and I make sure every client understands exactly what's included before they buy.
The closest comparison is The Austonian, which offers hotel-caliber service without an actual hotel brand attached; The Independent, downtown's tallest tower with a more residential, less hospitality-driven culture; and Seaholm Residences, a lower-density adaptive-reuse building in the Seaholm District. Four Seasons Residences is the only one of the group with an actual branded hotel operator running day-to-day service.
"We travel constantly, and Johnny was the only agent who really understood why the Four Seasons service model mattered to us more than square footage. He found us the right unit and explained the fee structure clearly before we ever made an offer." — past Four Seasons Residences buyer
Yes. Owners have access to Four Seasons Hotel Austin services including housekeeping, in-residence dining, concierge, valet, spa, and fitness facilities. The exact service package can vary by unit, so confirm what's included before purchase.
Many owners participate in a hotel rental program for their unit when not in residence. Rental program terms and eligibility vary, so this should be confirmed directly with the HOA and hotel management for any specific unit.
Four Seasons Residences was completed in 2010, built above the existing Four Seasons Hotel Austin on Lady Bird Lake.
Yes. The building sits directly on the north shore of Lady Bird Lake at 98 San Jacinto Boulevard, with direct access to the hike-and-bike trail.
Four Seasons Residences typically prices at a premium versus most downtown towers because of the bundled hotel-service model, though entry-level one-bedrooms can be competitive with other luxury buildings. I pull current comparables before quoting a price range for any specific unit.
