Are you looking to enjoy Austin too or just in/out the race? Traffic to the track is awful so staying on the East or South sides of Austin will help with the commute. East 6th/East Cesar Chavez is a fun area with bars & restaurants, same with South Congress or South Lamar. Both easily accessible to downtown. Recommend renting a car if possible, getting uber to/from the track is a headache. If you are less interested in downtown, staying nearish the track/airport could be nice - 15/20 min with no traffic to downtown. Honestly the only place I would avoid is the Domain, it is a popular area but pretty far from the track.

Honestly, if you plan to be at the races most of the day, you will be exhausted, dirty and won’t feel much like doing the Austin scene after (or maybe that’s just me showing my age). If you want to do Austin too, stay a couple days longer and switch hotels then. The prices will be more moderate post race. All we wanted to do was take a shower, get something to eat and crash.

Alternative, enjoy the Hyatt Lost Pines. It’s relaxing and a beautiful property.

Perhaps I’m too old to care, or a bar is a bar is a bar to me now, but I don’t think anything downtown Austin is worth struggling with the back and forth of the traffic for. Austin is a great trip, but trying to enjoy it *and* the race is a lot.

Breakfast tacos are the perfect food anyway. Why you would spend more on breakfast when you can have bacon and egg in a handheld tortilla is beyond me.

I recommend staying near the airport and taking the shuttle to COTA. Uber/Lyft was a disaster as was traffic to get in and out.

When I went a few years back there was a shuttle that left from the convention center downtown and dropped off right outside the gate at the main grandstand so we just stayed downtown at the JW

I’ll look into this, thanks!
