With Formula 1 releasing its 2026 calendar, three U.S. races will again draw global fans eager to combine high-speed competition with memorable regional stays. The Miami Grand Prix, taking place May 1–3 at Hard Rock Stadium, is set to open the U.S. stretch of the season. The Austin Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas is slated for Oct. 16–18, while the Las Vegas Grand Prix will follow Nov. 19–21 along the city’s illuminated circuit on the Las Vegas Strip. Each weekend offers proximity to distinct cultural and culinary scenes, all within reach of major air hubs. From Miami’s coastal energy to Los Angeles’ gateway appeal and Atlanta’s southern accessibility, you can pair race weekends with extended stays at destinations offering comfort, wellness and regional character.
Post- and Pre-Grand Prix Getaways
In the Southeast, Atlanta continues to serve as a primary connection hub for domestic and international Grand Prix travelers moving through the U.S. The nearest Formula 1 race is in Miami, but Atlanta’s accessibility makes it a frequent part of extended itineraries. From Atlanta, visitors can reach Savannah by a 1-hour flight or a 4-hour drive. The newly opened The Ann Savannah is an apartment-style hotel in the Historic District, offering spacious multi-bedroom suites and full kitchens. Clients can dine at Little James, serving Mediterranean-influenced cuisine.

In Miami, one option for post-race downtime is Eden House in Key West, about a 50-minute flight or a three-and-a-half-hour drive from the Miami International Airport. The oldest continuously operating hotel in the city, Eden House, puts your clients near Duval Street and the marina district. The hotel features a heated pool, whirlpool spa and a poolside Tiki Bar. Dining includes the on-site Azur Restaurant, known for its Mediterranean-inspired coastal dishes. The property’s location keeps clients within walking distance of Key West’s nightlife, historic architecture and water-based excursions. Rates vary seasonally.

Although Los Angeles is not hosting a Grand Prix, its proximity to Las Vegas and even Austin makes it an anchor city for domestic travel during the F1 summer stretch. Situated roughly 90 minutes from Los Angeles, the Ojai Valley Inn operates across 220 acres and dates to 1923. The resort’s Spa Ojai ranks among the leading wellness facilities in Southern California, and its 18-hole golf course, originally designed by George C. Thomas Jr., is a key feature. The property includes 7 dining outlets and has strong group accommodations capabilities.
