Downtown, or as close as you can get at this late date. I usually stay here:
http://austin.hyatt.com/property/index.jhtml or here:
http://www.radisson.com/hoteldirecto...08110508120510
but I'm sure those are booked by now (they are one the same street as the park - long walking distance in case cabs are hard to come by). This year Mr Man and I are staying at the Intercontinental downtown.

Why isn't Zilker Park on any maps and where can I find a map of Austin with it on there?
|
Zilker Park is right across the river (they may call it a lake) from downtown. I don't know why the maps you have wouldn't have it. It is a big park.

Do I need to rent a car to get around or will we be ok with shuttles/cabs from airport to hotel and hotel to Zilker Park, with some walking if necessary?
|
Cabs and walking work out fine. Better even. There are shuttles and only shuttles and cabs are allowed into the park during ACL. Having a car would be a total PITA.

Even though it's Austin, it's still Texas, so is it an incredibly bad idea to smoke some joints?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Bring some for me.
