Lake Austin Spa Resort Named #2 in North America by Readers of Conde Nast Traveler Magazine
Posted April 30, 2008
Venerable Travel Awards Recognize Boutique Spas in 2007

AUSTIN, TX - Cond Nast Traveler magazine has awarded Lake Austin Spa Resort with top honors as the #2 Destination Spa in North America in their annual readers poll in the April 2007 issue. http://www.concierge.com/bestof/spa/destinations

Likened to the Academy Awards of the travel industry the readers poll awards showcase the best spas in the country and around the world and highlight the opinions of their very sophisticated, discriminating travel-enthusiast readers.

It is an honor for us to be recognized by Cond Nast Traveler, clearly their name in the industry is synonymous with quality and we are thrilled that their readers have responded to the casual, luxury experience that Lake Austin Spa Resort offers, says Mike McAdams, owner of Lake Austin Spa Resort.

The 2007 readers poll will have some spas seeing red, as this is the first time that the three top honors have been awarded to properties with fewer than 50 guest rooms. Lake Austin Spa Resort was voted #1 for both location/setting (score of 98.3) and guest rooms (87). In addition, the property tied in the top honor for cuisine (87.5). The popular destination spa is known for creating a casual, upscale feeling in a highly personalized, almost residential spa setting while offering cutting edge programs such as Mother/Daughter Weeks, the Culinary Experience, a Gathering of Wise Women, and the innovative and new Urban Cowgirl retreats.

Applying some of the concepts outlined in Seth Godins new book, Small is the New Big, to the luxury destination spa industry, consumers have a renewed focus on quality, not quantity, says McAdams. Its not about how many classes you have, or how big your property is " its about listening to guests and understanding the highly individualized nature of their travel experiences. With only 40 guest rooms, Lake Austin Spa Resort is able to do just that " we give you as much or as little attention as you need and the experience is authentic.
