When the temperatures rise in Austin, the city usually slows down just a bit. To keep the energy up for locals and visitors alike, the Four Seasons Hotel Austin has reintroduced its creative, seasonal experiences. From a speakeasy-style pop-up lounge and elevated vegan dinner series, to a fresh twist on afternoon tea, and restful sound baths floating over their pool, these summer offerings are made to surprise, delight and keep things cool all summer long.

The Hidden Flask: A Speakeasy-Inspired Summer Pop-Up

Back again after a successful run last year, The Hidden Flask is a creative use of the luxury hotel’s specialty suite in which they transform the space into an elegant lounge mixing vintage speakeasy vibes with expertly crafted cocktails and delicious bites.

The Hidden Flask is designed with a playful sense of mystery, and adding to the intrigue, it will debut a rotating lineup of guest bartenders during the series — spotlighting top talent from Austin’s best bars and celebrated mixologists from around the country.

Vegan Dinner Series

This summer, gather around the table for a vegan dinner celebrating community, sustainability and the vibrant flavors of Texas. The Vegan Dinner Series showcases rotating five-course menus—curated by Executive Chef Abril Callender and Ciclo Restaurant Chef Juan Mateo— that reinterpret familiar dishes through a seasonal, plant-forward lens—honoring the people and purveyors behind every ingredient. Book your table for July 9 or August 13.

Full Moon Float Sound Bath

Embrace the magic of the full moon during an immersive evening designed to restore mind, body, and spirit. On July 29, the experience begins with a relaxed welcome reception featuring handcrafted martinis and light bites as the sun sets over the lake. As moonlight fills the sky, guests are invited to float peacefully in the pool while a live sound bath led by local wellness expert ATX Yoga Girl surrounds them with soothing tones and gentle vibrations that inspire deep relaxation, mindfulness, and renewal.
