EMBASSY SUITES AUSTIN ARBORETUM
Offers Great Value & a Comfortable Stay

Embassy Suites Austin NW, view as you drive up

Embassy Suites Austin is my choice of
all Arboretum area hotels. I love it.

Embassy Suites Austin Arboretum
9505 Stonelake Blvd.
Austin, TX 78759
(512) 372-8771; (800) EMBASSY; www.embassysuites.com

If you're looking to stay in the Arboretum, northwest Austin area, this is it. You're not staring at a freeway, don't have a mall outside your back window and there's enough greenery to make you feel like you are in Austin.

Just love the clean and spacious, two room suites. Equipped with refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker and high-speed Internet. The TVs could be bigger and more modern as the channel options could also be improved and expanded.

Free parking, fitness room, hot tub and an outstanding pool area. Free breakfast buffet is excellent and complete. Service can be a bit inconsistent depending on how busy they are. But the staff gives great effort in my opinion.

Guest room at Embassy Suites Austin NW

You get either one king or two
double beds in Embassy's two room suites.

I don't know what else that can be said about Embassy Suites Austin NW except a deeply discounted weekend or AAA, AARP or military rate makes your stay even more attractive.

The Embassy Suites has a reputation as a business chain hotel. This location transcends the myth. I would even recommend this Embassy as a romantic getaway. Check out their Wedding Website.

Embassy Suites Austin NW, resident swans, Butch and Sundance

Swans on your bed and of course the famous
Royal Swans, Butch and Sundance. You can watch these
beautiful birds for hours. Really folks, the swans are
worth the price of admission. Kudos to Embassy
Suites Austin NW for going the extra mile.

The pool area is even more
inviting than the picture suggests.

AUSTIN TRAVEL TIP: Embassy Suites Austin NW requests you do not feed Butch and Sundance or attempt to pet them. You can talk to them and enjoy their beauty. Don't toss coins in the water, they can really mess these guys up.

According to their web site, this species of swan use to be the pets of the English royal family. Apparently they needed some help surviving their natural enemies. They mate for life and are vegetarians. Butch and Sundance however are brothers. Their birthday is celebrated on April 4th – you'll have to find out how old they are.
