It wasn’t hard, with a city that’s brimming with James Beard nominees, innovative cocktail bars, and stylish eateries. From a crown jewel hotel’s famed restaurant to a Japanese Farmhouse, we’ve included idyllic hosts for every kind of occasion. So gather up your friends, order a glass of bubbly and toast to these stylish Austin settings to host your next private dinner! Reporter: Erica Nichols

When it comes to haunted hotels, these venues know a thing or two about a ghost story. This Halloween, forgo the pumpkin carving and go straight to the spooky stuff at any of these paranormal activity hot spots. From historical ghosts to haunting musicians, these establishments provide an extra ominous time.  Nobody said lodging couldn't be stylish and scary right? If you find yourself in ghost territory, don't forget to run! Reporter: Scout & The Venue Report

Maybe it’s all the gorgeous swimming holes surrounded by hills and wildflowers. Maybe it's all the down-home southern hospitality. Or maybe it's because Austin has the perfect blend of music, food, style and 'weird.' Whatever the reason, this cool Texan town is one of the top wedding destinations in the south where you can celebrate you and yours with personality to boot.    Austin’s best wedding venues range from straight-up old Western rustic barns in the Hill Country to gorgeous gardens and cool boutique hotels in heart of downtown. Whether you're looking to host a wedding in a modern industrial space or wanting something with more a vintage feel, there’s something for just about everyone ‘round these parts.   Reporter: Alyssa Brown 

Impulse travel is by far our favorite kind noted by our other spontanious travel lists. While we love to plan trips and typically spend hours hemming and hawing over the best venues or hotels in the best places, sometimes the spur-of-the-moment trek out to the desert ends up being the best experience of the whole year. In an effort to encourage more impromptu adventures, we’ve gathered up some of our favorite spots that are easily accessible by car or a quick flight to enjoy the end of winter and early spring, places where you can be sure to get out of the everyday norm and experience nature, culture, zen, snow, or sea. And guess what? You can book all these rad spots directly through us. We even have a white glove concierge service who will book your whole itinerary if you’re into it. Book it, book it real good.  Reporter: Alyssa Brown Traveling with a group? inquire about room blocks & group rates
