Our take
Embassy Suites by Hilton Austin Downtown South Congress suits families and groups who want an Austin base with a restaurant, a bar, an indoor pool and a fitness centre, plus race parking and a 24-hour reception. Family rooms with a refrigerator and a work desk add everyday practicality. It is in the city, not beside the circuit, so plan the drive on race days; a 7.9 rating from 239 reviews is modest, and I would choose it for facilities and parking.
- ✓Book your room and secure your race-parking spot well in advance, as Austin fills up quickly for major race events.
- ✓Utilize the 24-hour reception for any late-night queries or early morning departures to the circuit.
- ✓Plan your route to Circuit of the Americas ahead of time, as traffic can be heavy on race days.
