Where Downtown Meets Nature
As a proud partner of Waterloo Greenway, Fairmont Austin celebrates the opening of The Confluence, a 13-acre expansion of Austin’s evolving urban park system that reconnects downtown with nature along Waller Creek. Located directly adjacent to the hotel, The Confluence creates a scenic pathway linking guests to Lady Bird Lake, Palm Park, Rainey Street, and the iconic Ann & Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail.
What is The Confluence?
Part of Waterloo Greenway’s 1.5-mile urban ecosystem, The Confluence is the newest addition to downtown with 13 acres of green space, new pedestrian bridges and access to Lady Bird Lake.
Why Fairmont Austin Guests Will Love It
From morning coffee walks to scenic jogging routes, The Confluence offers the ability to step out of our landmark hotel into nature without leaving the urban core.
