Texas is best known for its mouthwatering BBQ, sporting events, and, of course, the stunning Texas Hill Country, which features lush greenery as far as the eye can see. Those visiting the Texas Hill Country should consider a stay at Hotel Viata, which offers a little slice of Italy in the heart of the Lone Star State.
The Look of Hotel Viata
Hotel Viata resembles a traditional Italian villa with its cobblestone pathway and stone exterior. On each side of the lobby entrance, small trees add vibrant pops of green to the neutral color palette. There's also a dazzling chandelier, a cozy sitting area, and an array of stunning artwork.
Just off the lobby, you'll find a spacious lounge outfitted with plush seating and a stone bar countertop. Meanwhile, the guest rooms feature a neutral color palette, sleek dark furnishings, and patterned headboards.
The Vibe at Hotel Viata
Charming and peaceful is how we'd best describe Hotel Viata. The property boasts a handful of Italian touches, including beautiful outdoor fountains and a courtyard with stunning views of the surrounding rolling hills. Come the afternoon, the cabana-lined pool deck is the place to be. Here, you'll find an abundance of in-water loungers for soaking up the sun.
Who Will Love Hotel Viata
Adults traveling together as a couple or a larger group will enjoy Hotel Viata the most. While the property does allow children, the resort amenities are more geared toward grown-ups. The stunning hillside views offer a serene backdrop to an alfresco dinner, while the pool serves as a peaceful place to relax after exploring nearby Austin.

Business travelers may want to look for accommodations elsewhere. The hotel does have meeting space; however, you'll find a handful of other properties closer to the city with more business-friendly amenities.
