Historic and Beautiful
The Driskill has always been a favorite Austin hotel. Full of history and beautiful. The rooms are beautiful and the staff is friendly and so helpful. The 1886 cafe for breakfast is a must as well as the cinnamon bun! The bar was being remodeled at the time but it is absolutely fantastic. The pretzel and old fashions are wonderful.

The best hotel staff in 50 years of being at hotels around the world!
This place will be having you feel like you are royalty! The staff is unbelievable. the food is outstanding! The location couldn't be better to see the Bats , 6th street , and the Capitol. You will not be disappointed! Take the tour with Amber of the hotel - she's great!

A beautiful hotel with class, comfort and an interesting history.
The Driskill is a beautiful, well-maintained historic hotel in the heart of downtown Austin. Whether the bell hops and porters, front desk, housekeeping or dining, service was impeccable. Arrived for a business conference and extended stay for a long weekend with my spouse. The rooms are well appointed to include comfortable beds and pillows! Love the location - central to a plethora of good restaurants/BBQ, bars, music, comedy and the river.

BEST Historic Experience
The Driskill is not just a hotel, it's a talking point. We had a great time discussing art, culture, history, etc with all the guests we had in our group throughout our stay. Impeccibly clean venue and cozy bedrooms. Loved all the restored details in each nook of the property!
