Got it. I thought you were listing the largest hotels.

Incentives on table for massive hotel planned near COTA

The project would also include a new convention center with 170,000 square feet of rentable space

From the article:

The city of Austin could provide economic incentives to boost an effort to build a massive hotel and convention center near Circuit of The Americas.

Houston-based RIDA Development Corp. plans to develop a 1,000-room hotel and 460,000-square-foot convention center, with 170,000 square feet of rentable space, next to COTA. The Austin City Council could vote at its April 23 meeting to approve an economic development agreement for the project.

According to a slideshow from Austin Economic Development, the planned capital investment for the hotel and convention center is $985 million. The project is expected to generate 900 full-time jobs and 3,800 temporary construction jobs.

I wonder exactly where this hotel & convention center will be located on the CotA grounds?

This is old, but it has a map of what was discussed once upon a time. Unsure if this latest discussion is in the same area.
