Downtown Austin is the metro's hotel-ballroom and rooftop territory: historic properties like the Driskill, restored warehouses, and skyline views within walking distance of guest hotels. Trade-off: peak event weekends (SXSW, F1, UT home games) spike room rates and traffic downtown harder than anywhere else in the metro.
