I loved this place! I had the Texas revolver drink on multiple days and couldn't get enough of the atmosphere this place offers. Great history and some good music.

The hotel is well located, within walking distance to many great restaurants and bars. Interior is old but well maintained, very classy. The cafe in the lobby, we didn’t realize that local people would come to this place to have brunch on Sundays until we see taking off. Also the bar at the hotel is really good as well. Glad we took advantage of them during our stay. The staff were super friendly. David and Luke at the front entrance valet are genuinely friendly and went above and beyond helping us to get in and out of hotel with tons of luggage

The hotel is absolutely beautiful & there’s a lot of fun facts and history behind every door knob and picture frame. Great place to stay for an Austin experience. Since The Driskill is in the heart of downtown, there is so much to do. I took some suggestions from Jake at the front desk. He embodies all things hospitality. He really knows how to spark a stay. Many thanks to Jake for making this trip to Texas one to remember.
