OVERVIEW
A NEW DESTINATION FOR AUSTIN AND BEYOND
Where can you find a luxury boutique hotel, complete with a spa, salon, ballrooms, and even a state-of-the-art music recording studio integrated into a beautiful Hilltop Garden setting? The answer is obvious – only at The Backyard. The Nelson hotel and annex is the jewel of the campus. It provides on-site businesses with unparalleled accommodations for visitors and events, while providing those visitors with world-class entertainment by way of a stroll down the open-space promenade to the Live Oak Amphitheater and The Glenn music venues, and world-class cuisine by way of Bloom restaurant.
Add to all this the incredible shopping and dining possibilities from the nearby Hill Country Galleria and it’s clear that there is a new international destination just west of Austin.
Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down.
