Reviews for The Driskill
Very pretty lobby
Beautiful old school hotel but lacking in amenities . No pool..we had a leak in the toilet and running a hairdryer blew the circuit breaker.

Texas Hospitality
We truly enjoyed our stay for a wedding at the Driskill. I was traveling with my 92 year old grandmother. The hotel staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating. From the valet service to the front desk to the housekeepers, everyone showed the utmost hospitality. I'm going to give a shout out to Emily, Sean and Jake at the front desk and Jackson at Valet. As for the hotel, this is a charming 140 year old hotel. No two rooms appear to be alike. The are comfortable and our 4th floor rooms had wonderful high ceilings. Get a king room if you are traveling with a partner. All of the bathrooms and furnishings are up to date and well maintained. Hotel location is fantastic if you want to be in the middle of it all. Not far from Barton Springs (my favorite swim spot in Austin). The Driskill Grill was swanky and fantastic steak house. Their cafe was also great for breakfast or lunch

Must stay!
INCREDIBLE stay!!! Would highly recommend! Not only is this historical hotel one of the most beautiful buildings in downtown Austin, but the staff, amenities, and experience is beyond exceptional.

Driskill - World Class Service
Stayed 2 nights at the Driskill - the staff from Check in to check out / Housekeeping / Breakfast at 1866 dinner at the Driskill Grill - Drinks at the Driskill bar - Front Desk staff giving a globalist upgrade . It rained and we lost out on a couple of tours (non Hotel Related ) But the Hotel and Staff made us both think this was one of the best 2 day getaways we have taken.

Beautiful, unique hotel
We loved our time here for a wedding!! The hotel is unique. Although we did have very minor issue, the staff was amazing and rectified the situation immediately! We would definitely stay here again!!
