Room 725 Champagne & Caviar

Room 725 Champagne & Caviar

Room 725 is Fairmont Austin’s hidden haven, primed for Champagne & Caviar service and beyond. This semi-private space offers the most indulgent of Austin experiences through a selection of caviar, refined Champagne and cocktail options, a menu of Pre-Embargo Cigars and live music. While the spotlight shines brightly on the Champagne & Caviar options, those seeking other options can still enjoy menu options during a visit to this luxe location.

In addition to enjoying the finest selection of Champagne, which can be ordered by the glass, bottle, guests can select special flights which feature Taittinger, Brut La Francaise, Billecart-Salmon, and more. Those in the mood for a crafted cocktail can choose from a signature list of classic elixirs including the standout Old Fashioned, Julep, French 75, Martini, and more.

The Champagne & Caviar experience also presents a rare selection of Pre-Embargo cigars, which were sourced from a single collection. All of these cigars are “clear Havana’s” meaning that they are made of Cuban tobacco, but rolled in the United States. Every cigar in this unique assortment dates back prior to The Cuban Trade Embargo (imposed February 1962), and some have been encased for more than 100 years.

The offering is available Fridays and Saturdays from 6:00 – 11:00 p.m.
