Places To Stay...

We are recommending the following hotels for wedding guests. The room rates listed below are the current rates (including taxes) that we're seeing on hotels.com as we write this. The rates on hotels.com appear to be even cheaper than the 10%-off courtesy rates they offer wedding parties, so we recommend booking through hotels.com...

For the relative locations of these hotels to the wedding events, check out the map above.

1) The Driskill - One of Austin's nicest, most distinct and centrally located hotels on world famous 6th Street. It is approximately 10 blocks (0.7 mi) from the wedding venue and 4 blocks (0.1 mi) from the rehearsal dinner location. A standard room is $250/night.

2) Doubletree Suites - tucked between The University of Texas and the State Capital building, this hotel is located 5 blocks (0.4 mi) from the wedding venue and 13 blocks (0.9 mi) from the rehearsal dinner location. All rooms here are actually 2-room suites and they are $195/night with advance purchase. The Doubletree can provide shuttle service to the Allan House upon request too.

3) Any bed and breakfast - there are tons of cool little bed and breakfasts around town. We live in the Hyde Park section of town which has several nice little B&Bs within walking distance of our house including The Strickland Arms, The Woodburn House, and The Adams House. All of the above are roughly 3 miles from the wedding venue and probably require a rental car for getting to the weekend's events.

There are lots and lots of other options as well. Give us a call if you need more details or help finding somewhere!
