Travel
When traveling to Austin from abroad, we recommend to arrive at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
Depending on traffic circumstances, the hotel is about 20 minutes away from the airport. Local transport options include:
- CapMetro City Bus: Bus 20 is probably the cheapest option (~$2); it runs regularly to and from the Austin airport to downtown and UT area. See also this map.
- SuperShuttle: is a shared-ride ground transportation option. You can pre-book your round-trip (airport to venue and back) beforehand and save money.
- Cab: There are many cabs available for hire at the Austin airport.
- Rental car: Austin airport has the counters of many car rental companies located at the departures area (near the baggage claim).
