Girlfriend Getaways Don't Ask Decades Itinerary

Gather your girlfriends — the ones who’ve shared in and inspired your best life story, and perhaps some of the debauchery, as well. Archer Hotel Austin’s Girlfriend Getaways bring you together for happy days and happy hours, to live it up and laugh it up.

There's a time when age becomes a presence, not a number. A time of wearing your true self like a birthright. Of realizing that within you lives every curious, confident, fiery, gorgeous version of you that you’ve ever been. Along with your dearest friends, they’re here to toast every delicious moment.

Historic, cultural and scenic sites. Power walks and power naps. Live music and living in the moment. Archer Hotel Austin makes it easy.

Choose your adventure, ladies.

We’ve done some of the legwork for you, putting it all within easy reach of Archer Hotel Austin.

Morning

Josephine House of Austin

Serving an eclectic menu of locally sourced ingredients, this charming cottage welcomes you to sit back, relax and enjoy a delicious breakfast from a select menu. A blueberry lavender buckwheat scone, avocado toast, lemon ricotta pancakes, huevos rancheros, house-made chicken sausage — no matter which you choose, your most memorable Austin breakfast experience is waiting for you.

Eats

Perry's Steak House

An award-winning wine list pairs well with beautiful seafood (Miso Roasted King Crab? But of course), perfectly seared steaks and chops, a Symphony Kabob table-side presentation, Spaghetti Squash Primavera and other tempting tastes. A Dessert Trio adds final flourish to a wonderful dining experience.

Bazille

Casually sophisticated bistro inside Nordstrom’s featuring fresh salads, specialty entrees, signature cocktails, a wine list and house-made desserts.

Joi Asian Bistro

Serving Southeastern Asian street cuisine, a diverse sushi selection and an elegant yet playful cocktail and sake program, Joi invites guests to enjoy the customary Asian approach of shared dishes. The brunch and dinner menus have vegetarian and gluten-free options. To sip: The Boozy Bubble Tea (yum).

AKB

Archer’s buzzy, boutique hotel bar serves up vibrant cuisine and crafted pours in an airy yet cozy space. Snap a girlfriend pic in front of the colorful mural (while toasting with equally colorful Violet Sky cocktails). We love AKB‘s shareable boards and the sea scallops with roasted butternut squash and lentils.

Treat yourself

Plank Seafood Provisions

With fresh oysters shipped in daily, craft cocktails and eco-friendly tapped wine (plus an incredible wine list), Plank beckons guests to enjoy some downtime in a bright, comfortable atmosphere with a coastal vibe — or out on the four-seasons patio. Share a Seafood Tower and Sea Foam Margarita, knowing that Plank is part of the Conscious Earth program.

Paul Martin’s

For a sweet treat or cool-down, try made-from-scratch ice cream in your choice of three daily flavors served with pecan shortbread cookies. Our favorite? Pistachio ice cream, hands down.

Viva Day Spa

If only the best will do, treat yourselves right with a day of pampering at this award-winning day spa. Check out the Viva Diva spa package for 6.5 hours of sublime relaxation and rejuvenation.

Shopping

Happy Hour + Bayond

Gloria’s

Tex-Mex and Salvadoran food and amazing margaritas in a fun, funky cantina. Happy hour all day Monday – Wednesday and 11 AM – 7 PM Thursday and Friday. Live salsa every Saturday brings the crowd to its feet.

Roaring Fork

Whether in the comfortable dining room or on the open-air patio beside Quarry Lake, catching up with family and friends is a relaxing affair. Come for happy hour (and a grilled avocado appetizer), stay for the grilled fish tacos.

Doc B's

Every day 4 – 6 PM, and Sunday through Thursday the last hour before close, Doc B’s Fresh Kitchen serves a variety of globally inspired options from its happy hour menu. A selection of pizzas rounds out the inspired bar fare, all of which pair well with the happy hour drink menu. To try: the Crazy Beautiful — CH Vodka, elderflower, spiced pear and Voveti.

Eddie V's

The comfortably intimate V Lounge at Eddie V’s is just the spot to relax with a crafted “cocktail with attitude” and shareable teasers from $8 (fresh oysters, anyone?).

Truluck's

Truluck’s focuses (and succeeds) on creating special occasions and enduring memories. Monday through Friday 4:30 – 6:00 PM, the bar is the place for 50% off bottles of wine and and 50% off liquor in the bar area. Enjoy the piano bar and get ready for photo-worthy, fabulous food.

Adventures

Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center

It’s said that the earth laughs in flowers, and this is a place where something blooms all year. This public botanical garden is dedicated to sustainability through research and education using native plants in healthy, beautiful landscapes. Founded by the former first lady, and located south of downtown Austin with sprawling views. Free tours and open daily.

Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater

The premier destination in Austin for diverse live performances, and 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. Comfortable seating, excellent acoustics. A must.

Zilker Botanical Garden

This 28-acre “jewel in the heart of Austin” features themed gardens, pathways, streams and koi-filled ponds, plus shaded hideaways, sunny lawn areas and thousands of native and cultivated plants. Fun fact: The ponds in the first half of the Isamu Taniguchi Japanese Garden spell “Austin.”

Texas Capitol
