Formula 1 returns to Circuit of the Americas October 23 to 25, and with it comes one of the most interesting weeks on Austin's calendar. Maroon 5 opens the weekend Friday, Post Malone headlines Saturday, and Alesso closes it out after Sunday's race.
I've lived in Austin since 1974, and the questions I hear from visiting clients rarely change. Where should we stay? Where do locals actually eat? What else is happening that week? So I put my answers in one place.
The new guide covers hotels from the Four Seasons to Hotel Magdalena on Music Lane, my top 20 tables including all seven of Austin's MICHELIN-starred restaurants, the local favorites like Matt's El Rancho and Gueros, live music from the Moody Center to C-Boy's, and practical notes on private aviation and circuit transfers.
It also covers something most race visitors never see. Many of Austin's most significant homes change hands privately, and most of the homes I sell never reach the public market. If race week has you thinking about a Texas address, I'm happy to start that conversation quietly.
