You and a friend could be jetting off on the holiday of your dreams to the Live Music Capital of the World® with British Airways and the brand new Fairmont Austin. This 37-story luxury hotel features 1,048 richly appointed guest rooms and suites with picturesque vistas of Lady Bird Lake, a dramatic cityscape and the State Capitol building.
There's a reason Austin is often ranked one of the fittest and healthiest cities in the USA. Outdoor activities include cycling, stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, and a myriad places to walk and run, such as the Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail. Go to Lake Travis for sailing, skiing and fishing and to Lake Austin for paddleboarding, boating and bass fishing. Austin’s NLand Surf Park is the only freshwater surfing destination of its kind in the USA and a short trip from downtown. Novices, travel surfers and world-class competitors will find waves to match their skills whether it be whitewater, challenging or high-performance. After a day of outdoor activities you’ll be able to relax in the Fairmont spa as we will also be giving away a $200 spa voucher with the prize.
No visit to Austin would be complete without live music and during your stay you and a friend will be invited as a VIP to a gig at Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater - a state-of-the-art, 2,750-person capacity live music venue that hosts approximately 100 concerts a year. It serves as the permanent home for the taping of the acclaimed KLRU-TV produced PBS series, Austin City Limits, the longest running music series in American television history.
To kit you out for your trip Topman are giving away a £500 gift card so you’ll have plenty of new gear for everything the capital of Texas has to offer – on land or water.
