Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa

Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa’s 400 acres of rugged Texas splendor puts business travelers in the ideal mindset for creative and productive meetings. Though the resort rests in seclusion on the hilly banks of the Colorado River, it waits just minutes from downtown Austin, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, and historic Bastrop.

One highlight of the 65,000 square feet of indoor meeting space is the elegantly appointed Lost Pines Ballroom. Its mezzanine balconies evoke the feeling of a Texas opera house, paying tribute to the area’s cultural heritage. Outside, 230,000 square feet of lawns, terraces, and an open-air amphitheater, all with panoramic river, pool, or golf-course views, invite guests to mingle and enjoy live entertainment in the fresh pine-scented air.

A full-service business center lends meeting support, as do the on-site meeting planners, audiovisual specialists, and talented banquet and catering crew. Meals for groups might include a breakfast of Texas Steak ‘N Eggs or Austin Quiche. Lunch might consist of a Lone Star Cookout or boxed lunch, a good option to accompany such team-building activities as
the ropes challenge course or river rafting.

Individual recreation includes golf on the 18-hole Arthur Hills–designed course, horseback riding, floating in the Crooked River pool or rafting down the Texas Colorado River. Workouts at the fitness center and treatments at Spa Django bring out the best in every guest. Following a full day of work or play, group members retire to the 491 spacious rooms, sumptuously crowned by Hyatt’s pillowy Grand Bed.

At Wolfdancer Golf Club, integrated pest management plays a vital role in efforts to reduce pesticide use as well as use of deficit irrigation to apply only the required amount water to meet the minimum needs for the turfgrass.
