Austin, TX 78701
 (512) 319-3333

We have 10 rooms each night at this hotel. Note that this is NOT within walking distance to the Driskill, but would be a quick 5 minute Uber ride https://www.hilton.com/en/book/reservation/deeplink/?ctyhocn=AUSAUGI&groupCode=MWED&arrivaldate=2022-09-23&departuredate=2022-09-25&cid=OM,WW,HILTONLINK,EN,DirectLink&fromId=HILTONLINKDIRECT Pros: * Cheaper option ($200+tax/fees), but still downtown * Brand new hotel * No homelessness nearby (because immediately next to the state capitol) Cons: * Not walking distance to Driskill

Hotel

Cambria Hotel Austin Airport

7800 East Ben White Boulevard
Austin, TX 78741
 (512) 574-4874

We have a block of 6 rooms a this hotel, with additional rooms possible depending on availability - 3 at $149, and 3 suites at $189. This hotel is also brand new, and is located close to the airport (not downtown). There is an airport shuttle available to/from the hotel. https://www.choicehotels.com/reservations/groups/PE14Q7 Pros: * Least expensive option ($149+tax/fees) * Brand new hotel * Airport shuttle available (pickup at 2nd level near Delta terminal) Cons: * 15-20 minute drive to Driskill & downtown * Nothing interesting in immediate area surrounding hotel

Hotel

South Congress Hotel

1603 South Congress Avenue
Austin, TX 78704
 (512) 920-6405

This is the location where we'll be having our rehearsal dinner and welcome party. It's 1.5 miles south of the Driskill, about a 5 minute drive. We have a block of 10 rooms both Friday and Saturday for $399 a night. Honestly, this hotel is more expensive than the Driskill and less convenient, so I'd recommend the Driskill. But putting it up here in case anyone wants it :)

Flight

Austin Bergstrom International Airport

Austin's airport (AUS) is located about 10 miles southeast of downtown Austin. There's no quick public transportation to get downtown from the airport, unfortunately, so the best option would be Uber/Lyft/Taxi. There is also a rental car facility on-site at the airport, if you decide to rent a car (if you're visiting Austin for more than just the wedding, this might be a good idea to get around and do some sight seeing!)
