Conference Hotels in Austin

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, the airport serving Austin, is about 7 miles southeast of downtown. Many of the hotels on this list offer shuttle service or are a short ride from the airport. If your attendees are flying in from across the country, confirm ground transportation options and travel time to your hotel when you book.

For a large meeting or corporate event, start looking at least 3 to 6 months out. Austin draws business travel year-round, and properties with significant meeting space fill early during peak seasons. Booking ahead gives you better room availability and lets you lock in pre-negotiated rates.

Start with total event space and the number of meeting rooms, then look at guest-room count to ensure the property can accommodate your attendees. The Fairmont Austin offers about 140,000 square feet of event space and 30 meeting rooms, while the Hilton Austin has about 112,000 square feet and 40 meeting rooms. Also compare location, on-site dining, and how easy it is for your team to get there.

Look for ample meeting space, multiple breakout rooms, and enough guest rooms to house your attendees under one roof. Hotels like the JW Marriott Austin, with about 112,000 square feet of event space, can handle large conferences and offer on-site amenities so your group doesn't have to leave the property. Confirm that the hotel can arrange AV, catering, and any other services you need for your agenda.

If you need 8 guest rooms or fewer, you can search, compare, and book self-serve on Engine. For a stay of 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking and provides consolidated invoicing and multiple payment options. Meeting space itself is arranged directly with the hotel.
