Your Summer Austin Getaway - by Alex Carrier

You would normally be anticipating a summer vacation right now but the world is still in a bit of a pause. We aren’t really sure what the future of travel looks like and if we want to be the first to jump in and test it out.

Many people are looking to stay close to home but still create memories and experiences and maybe get a little break while doing it. Fortunately there are some great options in and around Austin. An option that no one has had the opportunity to experience yet is right down in Hyde Park and will be opening on June 22nd. The brand new Auberge property will be called Commodore Perry Estate.

This urban retreat sitting on 10 acres is a historic landmark where Commodore Perry threw many a lavish party for friends and family.

IMAGINE THESE MOMENTS

Borrowing a book from the mansion library, snagging a poolside lounger and letting the mind drift away.

Sipping the Bee’s Knees from a stylish coupe on the Loggia overlooking the fountain's summer’s blooms.

Listening to warm, crackly vinyl in the Mansion with specially curated reserve bottles ranging from cult Napa Valley Cabs to limited runs of small batch bourbon.

Lingering over a picnic spread complete with a comfortable picnic blanket, a game bag for a little friendly backgammon competition, and delectable bites.

Spread out your blanket in the English Gardens or head off of the Estate for lunch in Zilker park or to catch a sunset overlooking the 360 bridge.

Lounge by candlelight and dip your toes in the pool with a cocktail in hand as the pool turns into an outdoor Moroccan oasis with specialty cocktail service and poolside grilled bites in the cool nighttime air.

The mansion includes 42 King rooms and 5 King suites, personalized bar carts tailored to your preferences whether it's a spicy jalapeno margarita, Old Fashioned Martini or Gin & Tonic. Each guest will be assigned an Estate Host that will be able to assist with any and all requests. Commodore Perry Estates is the perfect place to reconnect and rejuvenate for a weekend or staycation.
