Leading luxury hospitality company, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, and Austin Capital Partners announced that Turnbridge Equities, a vertically integrated investment and development firm with over $4 billion in assets under management, led by founder and managing principal Andrew Joblon, has become the co-development partner of Four Seasons Private Residences Lake Austin. The transaction was arranged by Doug Opalka of JLL and Jason Parker of Cobalt Equities. Turnbridge's substantial investment allows the project to start construction as planned this fall, with an expected opening at the end of 2027.
The new Lake Austin residential community will be distinguished by its unprecedented views, modern architecture, and Lissoni-designed interiors, private waterfront access, and approximately 100,000 square feet of private amenities. Michelin-starred chef-led dining and a dedicated Four Seasons staff will exclusively manage every aspect of the property's luxury service offering. Surrounded by 2,000 acres of protected land, Four Seasons Private Residences Lake Austin comprises 145 acres of pristine natural landscape and 3,070 linear feet of untouched waterfront. The private enclave is 20 minutes from downtown Austin but feels worlds apart, offering protected panoramic views of the lake, Pennybacker Bridge, PGA golf course, and downtown skyline.
Turnbridge Equities has a reputation for executing first-class developments and has deep ties to the local area. Turnbridge partnered with MSD Capital to develop Austin's acclaimed Music Lane project on South Congress Avenue, featuring first-to-market concepts including Soho House, Equinox, Hermes, and other high-end retailers.
"We look forward to working with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and our globally-renowned design team in helping realize this amazing vision," said Andrew Joblon, founder and managing principal of Turnbridge Equities. "We are diligently working to commence construction this fall."
"We're excited to come together with a highly-aligned partner in Andrew Joblon and Turnbridge Equities to build this one-of-a-kind community that is unique in both location and the experiences it will provide residents," said Jonathan Coon, CEO of Austin Capital Partners. "Turnbridge was one of the first developers to recognize that Austin was ready for world-class real estate development nearly a decade ago. We look forward to working together to create a best-in-class community."
Setting a New Standard in the Global Residential Market
Coupled with legendary five-star service, owners and their guests will enjoy an extensive collection of amenities and experiences with timeless interiors by Lissoni. Each of the property's four distinct resort clubs will feature furniture designed by the brand, including bespoke pieces. Purposefully designed to feel private despite their scale, shared spaces by Lissoni will include:
The Upper Clubhouse: Featuring a Michelin-starred chef-led private restaurant, a 96-seat theater with a 60-foot-wide LED screen, and a 300-foot infinity-edge pool with three lounging and swimming zones, as well as an adjacent game room and private cabanas.
Indoor Sports Club: A state-of-the-art, 76,000-square-foot facility with private training rooms, golf simulators, a full-size indoor basketball court, indoor clay tennis court, indoor pickleball courts, indoor padel courts, and a children's gym and play area.
Spa and Wellness Club: Featuring hot and cold plunge pools, private treatment rooms, sauna, and steam facilities in both locker rooms, and a beauty salon.
Orangerie: An indoor garden with an 82-foot indoor pool.
Other unique amenities for Lake Austin and Four Seasons standalone residences will include:
The Lake Clubhouse and 576-foot Private Marina : With lounges above the boat slips.
Owners Boating Club : With an extensive fleet of watercraft.
Funicular : From the hilltop to the lake with two independent air-conditioned cabins.

Anantara Hotels, the luxury brand by Minor Hotels, has made a striking debut in Vienna, Austria, by transforming the historic Palais Hansen into the city’s first urban luxury resort. With this, Anantara brings its signature blend of Thai-inspired hospitality and European grandeur to the heart of the Austrian capital.
Originally designed by Baron Theophil Edvard von Hansen, the neo-Renaissance palace has a legacy spanning over 150 years, having once served as both a residential complex and a public administration building. Following a meticulous renovation, the building now offers 152 guest rooms and suites, including a lavish 270m² Presidential Suite. Complete with seven French balconies, a piano for private concerts, and a wellness space with a marble bath, the suite can expand to a sprawling 408m² four-bedroom configuration upon request.
The hotel is equipped with modern luxury comforts while preserving the architectural charm of old Vienna. Guests can enjoy high ceilings, oversized windows, and triple-glazing for comfort and quiet. The property also includes the 800m² Anantara Spa, three elegant dining venues, eight versatile meeting spaces, an executive boardroom, a private reading room, and a ballroom for up to 265 guests — making it an attractive choice for both leisure and business travellers.
This marks another major step in Anantara’s European expansion, joining a portfolio of over 50 luxury properties across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and the Indian Ocean. Earlier this year, Minor Hotels also announced plans to develop a new Anantara resort in Egypt, further extending the brand’s reach in key international destinations.
With its Vienna debut, Anantara not only celebrates the preservation of heritage architecture but also sets a new benchmark for luxury hospitality in the city — where timeless elegance meets contemporary service.
In a playful twist on vacation planning, Marriott Bonvoy has introduced “Travel Roulette”, a digital experience designed to inject spontaneity into trip bookings—just as it celebrates a huge milestone: 1 million hotel rooms across the U.S.
Inspired by the viral “vacation roulette” trend on social media, the new initiative invites Marriott Bonvoy members to spin a virtual wheel at MarriottBonvoyRoulette.com for a chance to instantly win prizes, including stays at premium hotels and the grand prize of 1 million Marriott Bonvoy points plus a four-night stay at the newly opened Canal House of Georgetown.
Running from May 7 to May 26, this initiative brings excitement back into travel decisions, allowing travelers to discover destinations at random—fitting with Marriott’s recent survey that revealed 43% of Americans are open to booking unplanned or surprise getaways.
The campaign also highlights Marriott’s 1-millionth U.S. room, located in the Canal House of Georgetown, part of the fast-growing Tribute Portfolio. Nestled in historic Washington, D.C., this boutique property features design-rich accommodations, including specialty suites, townhomes, a library lounge, and a private courtyard.
Besides the grand prize, members may win Marriott Bonvoy points or complimentary two-night stays at select properties such as:
AC Hotel by Marriott Maui Wailea
ADERO Scottsdale Resort, Autograph Collection
JW Marriott Las Vegas
Moxy Downtown Los Angeles
W New York – Union Square, among others.
“Travel roulette embraces the excitement of the unexpected,” says Peggy Roe, EVP and Chief Customer Officer at Marriott International. “With over 30 brands and 10,000 destinations, we want to celebrate this milestone by giving travelers a fun new way to explore.”
With Marriott Bonvoy's growing portfolio, members can redeem points not just for hotel stays, but also for exclusive experiences via Marriott Bonvoy Moments, immersive local activities, or even luxury hotel products from Marriott Bonvoy Boutiques.
