Retreats Resources brings the Roadshow to you, but did you know we select the host venues with an experience in mind for every Meeting Planner and Event Specialist who attends. Let’s start with a little background on our third stop on the Texas Roadshow: Wax Myrtle’s in Austin
Wax Myrtle’s, named after the southern shrub and located in the Thompson Hotels brand luxury contemporary Thompson Austin in the heart of downtown, wants guests to feel at home while dining there, with food inspired by memories made over meals with friends. (awwww! We love that feeling!)
Hundreds of plants are used in the décor of the dining space, including a living green wall, and creates spaces for small groups to gather throughout the venue and pays tribute to the diverse plant life in Texas.
Adjacent to the main indoor outdoor space is the Bayberry Room, a private event space with full bar, stage and private dining area.
Fun Fact: Inside the Thompson Austin you will find 6300 square feet of carefully designed meeting and event space. Also carefully named are the five names behind the special event spaces which are named Kelly, Red River, Singer, Newton and Bass….all famous outlaws around Texas in the early 1800s into the 1900s. Notorious for stealing gold, silver and precious stones, they allegedly buried more than $340 million worth of hidden treasure around Texas which has yet to be found. The city of Austin is often considered the outlaw of Texas so the names are only fitting to capture Austin’s rebellious spirit.
Come join us in Austin and see for yourself, from 4:00 pm – 7:30 pm for our luxury destination showcase followed by cocktail reception, and maybe carve out some time to search for that long lost treasure.
We look forward to welcoming you to Wax Myrtle’s and Austin on May 12th and the third stop on the Texas Roadshow!
