Residence Inn by Marriott Austin Airport

Get your day off to a great start with a full American-style breakfast — it’s free! Our extended stay, apartment-style suites come with a fully equipped kitchen. Enjoy a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, pantry and dishwasher — along with pots, pans and dishes! Need ingredients? We offer a grocery shopping service! Sit on your comfy sofa bed and watch Netflix, Hulu, HBO, ESPN and CNN on your Smart TV. Unwind and relax around the fire pit of the outdoor lounge. (You can’t miss it, it’s right next to the outdoor pool!) You’ll receive a first nighter kit, plus a hair dryer, iron and ironing board. On-site you’ll find a 24-hour convenience store, a 24-hour fitness center and basketball court plus laundry facilities. Meet those deadlines with a large work desk in your suite, a business center with a printer, and 525 square feet of meeting space.

Explore the great outdoors at McKinney Falls State Park, where Onion Creek flows over limestone ledges and splashes into pools. This magnificent natural resource is just a few miles away from the hotel. Hike or bike along the trails of Lady Bird Lake. (The man-made reservoir looks like a river!) Near the lake, the historic bungalows of Rainey Street have been transformed into cocktail lounges, bars and eateries, with many boasting homey porches and backyards. Just south of downtown Austin is South Congress Avenue and the SoCo neighborhood, where you can buy everything from custom tees to cowboy boots at 35-plus shops and restaurants. Order ice cream and pizza from walk-up windows. Then get hearts and motors racing at Circuit of the Americas (COTA), home of the United States Grand Prix and the Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas.
