Hotel
If you would like to stay at the Driskill (where the reception is being held), use the below link to get a discounted rate in our block of rooms! The cutoff date to make reservations in our block is August 25th. https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/group-booking/AUSHD/G-RXJV Pros: * Same location as the reception, so you can just walk upstairs to your room afterwards! * Walking distance to many Austin attractions/nightlife Cons: * Most expensive option
Hotel
We currently have a block of 13 rooms available at the Hampton Inn & Suites downtown https://www.hilton.com/en/book/reservation/deeplink/?ctyhocn=AUSDTHX&groupCode=CHHBMW&arrivaldate=2022-09-23&departuredate=2022-09-25&cid=OM,WW,HILTONLINK,EN,DirectLink&fromId=HILTONLINKDIRECT Pros: * Cheaper than Driskill ($209+tax/fees) * Walking distance to Driskill * Heart of downtown Cons: * Austin has a homelessness problem, and if you are walking between this hotel & the Driskill, you will almost certainly encounter some people experiencing homelessness.
Hotel
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
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
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'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!)
