I went on a road trip this weekend to Austin and I was walking along the Town Lake trail and this hammock caught my attention. It looked so comfortable that I laid in it and just relaxed.<\/p>\n

Well this was actually in front of the Four Seasons<\/a>. Of course I had to go exploring the hotel and it was lovely from the outside and it was right near the Lake where you can rent kayaks, canoes, or paddle boards from Congress Ave Kayak<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then I was wondering, how do I stay here for free on points and where is their credit card?! Well unfortunately as of today Four Seasons doesn’t have a rewards program and their room prices are 400+\/night so I won’t be staying here any time soon. I was even looking to see if you could book a hotel through Priority Club Hotels everywhere or British Airways to book hotels with Avios but no luck there either. I hope that they decide to create a loyalty program so I could take advantage of this beautiful hotel near the lake.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Thx Jason for letting me know that a loyalty program is in the works! Shame on me for missing Lucky’s post at One Mile at a Time<\/a> on this!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
