Residence Inn by Marriott Austin Airport

Your Laid-back Launchpad Near Austin’s Music Scene

Modern, spacious, and designed with longer stays in mind, Residence Inn by Marriott Austin Airport is a relaxed 3-star hotel just under two miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. With a welcoming vibe, all-suite rooms, and thoughtful amenities like full kitchens and a complimentary airport shuttle, it's a perfect home base for concert-goers looking to stay outside the downtown chaos but still close to the music.

Why Concert-goers love it

One of the biggest perks here is the free airport shuttle, making late-night arrivals or early flights after a show super easy. The hotel is just about 5.5 miles from downtown Austin and its many venues, and you can get there quickly via rideshare or car. With a 24-hour front desk, late check-ins are no problem, and the quiet, residential location means you’ll actually get some sleep after the encore. Bonus: the hot tub is a nice touch for post-show recovery.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends—with suites that include kitchens and living areas, there’s room to hang out before the show
• Solo travelers—safe, clean, and close to both the airport and venues
• Couples—the hot tub and pool make it easy to turn a concert night into a weekend getaway
• Fans needing quiet—far enough from downtown for peaceful nights
• Budget-conscious music lovers—get more space and amenities for your money

Food and Drink Options

Wake up late? No problem—American breakfast is included and served on-site. The hotel also features a BBQ grill area if you’re feeling social, and rooms with full kitchens give you the freedom to prep your own meals. While there’s no on-site restaurant or 24/7 room service, you’ll find plenty of eateries within a short drive or delivery range. Perfect for a post-concert wind-down meal.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself isn't a nightlife hotspot, it's an easy ride to downtown Austin's legendary live music bars and lounges. After the show, head back to the hotel for a quieter night, or grab a drink at one of the nearby bars.
