Race Week in Austin
The racing is at COTA. The nights are downtown. Stay between the two.
When Formula 1 lands in Austin October 23-25, the city splits in two: days at the track, nights on West 6th and Rainey Street. The Austoria sits in quiet Clarksville, ten minutes from downtown, with a straightforward drive out to the circuit. Leave for the gates together, come home to the sauna, and run the replays in the movie room.
Friday · Oct 23
Practice day. Ease in: track in the afternoon, pool before dinner, downtown after.
Saturday · Oct 24
Qualifying. The grid gets set; your group compares predictions over the fire pit.
Sunday · Oct 25
Race day. Lights out at COTA, debrief in the Longhorn Lounge.
Formula 1 comes to America's only purpose-built F1 track once a year. The whole racing world books Austin for it. When race-week nights are gone, they are gone.
The House
Built for a proper race weekend.
Five bedrooms, five full baths and a half, and room for sixteen across the main house and the Longhorn Lounge, the guesthouse out back.
Golf simulator.
Settle your group's second-fastest-driver debate between sessions.
Movie room.
Qualifying replays on the big screen. Sunday morning warm-up starts here.
Rooftop sauna, skyline view.
Track days are long. End them in the sauna with the Austin skyline out front.
Heated pool.
Late October in Austin still says swim. The heater makes sure of it.
The Longhorn Lounge.
A second building with its own hangout space, so early flights and late nights can coexist.
Salon get-ready stations.
Grandstand to downtown dinner in one stop. Proper mirrors, proper lighting, and nobody waiting on one bathroom.
Shuffleboard and pool table.
The support races, played in-house.
Yoga deck and fire pit.
Sunday night debrief, Monday morning recovery.
Sonos, nine smart TVs, 1GB WiFi.
A screen for every session and WiFi that keeps up with sixteen phones.
The Math
Sixteen people at a race-week hotel is eight rooms. This is one house.
Eight separate bookings, eight separate bills
One booking, one bill, split sixteen ways
A lobby bar full of strangers
Three gathering spaces, a full kitchen, and your own fire pit
A shared gym if you are lucky
Rooftop sauna, heated pool, golf simulator, movie room, all yours
Meeting up across three different hotels
Everyone under one roof, ten minutes from downtown
Race-week hotel pricing
Book direct for the best rate
Booking direct matters. The same nights here typically run about 13 percent less than on Airbnb, because platform fees ride on top of their price, not ours. Same house, same hosts, better rate.
Book race weekend now. Decide later.
Direct bookings cancel free up to 30 days before check-in, full refund. Hold October 23-25 today and you have until late September to lock in the crew. The dates will not wait. Your decision can.
Dates Taken?
Get first word if race-week nights open.
Group plans shift, and dates open up more often than you would think. Tell us what you need and we will email you the moment it becomes available. No newsletter, no noise, just the dates you asked about.
Frequently asked questions.
COTA sits on the southeast edge of Austin, a straightforward drive from the house. Most groups carpool or set a rideshare meet time to stay ahead of track traffic, and we send our favorite routes and timing tips before you arrive.
Lights out is October 25. Where your crew wakes up is up to you.
Three days of racing. Five bedrooms. One booking that takes care of all sixteen of you.
