Austin filed 37,013 hotel rooms across 336 properties in the twelve months to May 2026, per Texas Comptroller hotel occupancy tax filings compiled by TexasHotelSearch. The ten largest hold 6,088 rooms between them, about 16 percent of the market.
Thirty travellers need fifteen double rooms. Every property below absorbs that block in one building. Distances are straight-line measurements from the filed street address.
How this list was built
The ranking axis is registry room count as filed with the Texas Comptroller. Registry counts are self-reported and can lag a renovation, so treat each figure as the number the property has declared and confirm it in the contract. Revenue and year-on-year moves come from the same filings, through May 2026.
The eight downtown properties share one market condition. The Austin Convention Center closed on April 1, 2025 and came down that autumn. Its $1.6 billion replacement grows rentable space from 365,000 to 620,000 square feet and completes in 2028, with events targeted for 2029 and beyond. Downtown filings carry the gap: the 800-room Austin Hilton Convention Hotel is down 21.9 percent on the prior year and the Fairmont 10.5 percent.
The ten largest hotels in Austin
1. Fairmont Austin Hotel, 101 Red River St — 1,048 rooms
The largest filed property in the city, 1.6 miles from the UT Austin campus and 10.6 miles from Circuit of The Americas.
2. JW Marriott Austin Downtown, 110 E 2nd St — 1,012 rooms
More than 100,000 square feet of its own meeting space. Trailing receipts of $88.4 million, up 12.6 percent, the market's largest earner. 1.5 miles to campus.
3. Austin Hilton Convention Hotel, 500 E 4th St — 800 rooms
Across Fourth Street from the rebuild site, 1.4 miles to campus.
4. Austin Marriott Downtown, 304 E Cesar Chavez St — 613 rooms
Walker distance to the Rainey Street district, 1.6 miles to campus.
5. Omni Barton Creek Resort & Club, 8212 Barton Club Dr — 514 rooms
West of downtown in the Barton Creek corridor. Trailing receipts of $45.6 million, up 1.5 percent. The resort plant holds outdoor function space on one site.
6. Renaissance Austin Hotel, 9721 Arboretum Blvd — 492 rooms
Northwest, in the Arboretum corridor, 7.4 miles from campus and 18.9 miles from the circuit.
7. Hyatt Regency Austin, 208 Barton Springs Rd — 448 rooms
On the south shore of Lady Bird Lake, 1.9 miles from campus and 1.7 miles from Zilker Metropolitan Park.
8. The Line Hotel, 111 E Cesar Chavez St — 428 rooms
The filings here carry a flagged single-month anomaly, where an amended return lumped restated history into one month. The room count stands. 1.7 miles to campus.
9. Sheraton Austin Hotel At The Capital, 701 E 11th St — 367 rooms
The closest of the ten to the campus corridor at 1.0 mile, and 0.8 mile from UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
10. Westin Austin Downtown, 301 E 5th St — 366 rooms
Trailing receipts of $26.8 million, up 2.1 percent. 1.3 miles to campus.
Rooms per squad, in numbers
Thirty travellers in fifteen double rooms for three nights is 45 room-nights, or 1.5 per person. Twelve in six doubles for two nights is 24 room-nights. At a $200 room rate, 45 room-nights is $9,000 before discount, $7,650 at 15 percent off (about $255 per person) and $5,400 at 40 percent off (about $180 per person). The $200 is an example for the arithmetic. bookMyTeam publishes the 15-40 percent band as its own group saving off rack rates. Replace both with the numbers in your quote.
Campus and tournament distances
The UT Austin campus and its athletics venues sit inside a two-mile band from downtown. Mike A. Myers Stadium at 707 Clyde Littlefield Drive is 0.9 to 1.8 miles from the eight downtown properties. UFCU Disch-Falk Field at 1300 East Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard is 0.8 to 1.8 miles. Zilker Metropolitan Park, the ACL Festival site, is 1.7 to 2.3 miles. Circuit of The Americas is the outlier at 10.6 to 18.9 miles, so a motorsport weekend needs a bus plan.
What the filings cannot tell you
Four facts decide whether a property works for a squad, and none of them appears on the pages cited here: the bed configuration behind each filed room, the breakfast opening hour, coach and trailer parking, and whether a group can hold a shared floor.
Put all four in the request. The group rate calculator prices the block, the sports team booking page covers the venue-adjacent set-up, and one request reaches 50 or more hotels per destination with replies inside 24 to 72 hours and no fee to submit. Group rates apply from 10 rooms a night, and the platform's help page notes that some hotels discount from as few as five rooms depending on season and availability.
Timing that matters in Austin
October is the largest month for city room receipts. TexasHotelSearch reports over $200 million in October 2024 and again in October 2025, about 13 percent of annual receipts, on Formula 1 and the Austin City Limits Festival. Registry rooms are up 596, about 1.6 percent, and the 252-room 1 Hotel Austin opens in August 2026.
