THE AUSTIN HIDEAWAY WHERE A NATIONAL REALITY SHOW FOUND ITS VIEW

Romance Found Its Spotlight in the Hills

Love is always in the air at Hotel Viata—but this year, it caught the attention of national television. The hillside retreat was chosen as a filming location for Season 19 of Married at First Sight, with couples exchanging vows right here in our courtyard and overlooking the hills of West Lake.

Set just minutes from downtown but surrounded by serene landscapes, Hotel Viata offered the perfect blend of elegance and intimacy for one of the most unique social experiments on television. It’s where Austin’s vibrant energy meets Hill Country calm, a setting made for romance, connection, and unforgettable beginnings.

The Perfect Setting for “I Do”

Producers were drawn to Viata’s architecture, natural beauty, and warm ambiance, an idyllic backdrop for love stories to unfold. With sweeping views, flickering courtyard lights, and a timeless Mediterranean-inspired design, it’s easy to see why this setting was chosen for a national audience.

And while television captured just one chapter of these couples’ stories, countless real-life love stories have begun here, too—from intimate proposals and weddings to milestone anniversaries and weekend escapes.

Your Own Love Story Awaits

Whether you’re newly engaged, celebrating an anniversary, or simply looking to reconnect, Hotel Viata offers a romantic escape that feels worlds away from the everyday.

Sip prosecco under the Hill Country stars, unwind at Spa Viata, and dine on Italian-inspired dishes at Laurel Restaurant. Every moment here feels cinematic.

After all, it’s not just where a reality show found its view. It’s where real romance finds its forever.
