The Line is the trendy, artsy pick: a boutique hotel right on Lady Bird Lake with local Texas art everywhere, lake views, a rooftop terrace, and buzzy restaurants and bars on-site. It's a 5-10 minute drive from Hotel Ella, 5-10 minute drive from the welcome party at Lolo, and roughly 15 minute drive from the airport. It's also the only one of our three picks with a pool (a heated saltwater pool and sun deck), which is clutch for a June weekend in Texas! Other perks include a 24-hour gym, free bikes to borrow, and room service + pets stay free with no fees or weight limits.

The Driskill is the splurge-worthy, romantic pick: a historic 1886 luxury landmark with a grand marble-and-stained-glass lobby and old-Texas glamour, freshly updated after a full renovation. It's about an 8-10 minute drive from Hotel Ella, 10 minute drive from Lolo and roughly 15 minutes from the airport. There's no pool, but you'll find a 24-hour fitness center with steam rooms and two on-site restaurants (the Driskill Grill and 1886 Café).

The Hilton Garden Inn is the easy, great-value pick, and it's the closest to the wedding: a modern, comfortable hotel with Austin-music-themed decor and a rooftop deck. It's the only one within walking distance of Hotel Ella (about 0.8 miles, a 15-minute walk or 5-minute drive), roughly 10-15 minute drive from Lolo, and about 15-20 minutes from the airport. There's no pool, but you'll get a fitness center, a rooftop deck (Apex), an on-site restaurant and bar (Analog), and rooms with a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker.
