Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa, just outside of Austin, Texas, welcomes family travelers to celebrate the holidays and its 20th anniversary. The resort plans to close the year with a bang thanks to its Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year’s programming.
Lost Pines has become a tradition during the festive season for locals and visitors alike. Guests return year after year to celebrate the holidays, with something exciting happening every day. Highlights for each holiday include:
