Where to Stay
We are excited for you to enjoy all that Austin has to offer over the course of our wedding weekend. So, instead of having a specific hotel, we're giving you the flexibility to stay anywhere you'd like.
Check out our Wedding Map to orient yourself around where our events will be, where the optional hotels listed below are located, or where to consider getting an AirBnB.
If you're looking for a little more guidance than the map, the following are a few guided options for where to stay. We also secured courtesy discounts at the below Hyatt properties. Use the Hyatt links below to access those discounts.
AirBNB - AirBnB offers a variety of options for all types of travelers in all areas of Austin.
Moderate-Scale Downtown: Holiday Inn, Hyatt Place w/ 10% Off Link
Upscale Downtown: The Line Hotel, JW Marriott, Van Zandt
North-Central Austin: The Best Western Plus, Hyatt Place North Central ($119 per night w/ breakfast & WiFi incl.)
Austin hosts many guests in April for events and conferences so we recommend booking your accommodations early. Of course, these are just a few of the options available. Downtown Austin hotel prices will be more expensive then slightly outside the Downtown District or AirBnB.
Travel & Getting Around
However you get to Austin, we're excited to have you.
If you're flying in, we recommend that you fly into Austin (Austin-Bergstrom International Airport - also known as AUS). The airport is close to central Austin and offers Uber and Lyft ride-sharing as well as car rental services.
Once you land in Austin, you can either use your ride-sharing app to get around Austin and to our events or a rental car from the airport. Austin also offers bike and scooter sharing for those who are more adventurous.
If you're renting a car or driving to Austin, you should know that all of our events will have ample complementary parking options.
