The Driskill

TIMELESS TEXAS CHARM MEETS MODERN SOPHISTICATION AT THE ICONIC DRISKILL HOTEL. Built in 1886 as the showplace of a cattle baron, The Driskill remains a landmark of legendary Texas hospitality. Located on Sixth Street in the heart of downtown Austin, the iconic, historic hotel is convenient to all that the city has to offer, including the Texas State Capitol, convention center, opera, symphony, fine dining, shopping, and Austin's 6th Street music scene. Known as the "Live Music Capital of the World,®" Austin is home to nearly 200 music venues, many within walking distance or even onsite with nightly live music in The Driskill Bar. The saying goes: “Everything’s bigger in Texas.” No description is more befitting of The Driskill – not only in detailing its stature or place in the Lone Star State’s rich history – but also in service, experience, culinary delights and welcoming warmth. Step back in time when you enter the opulent lobby with its marble floors, stained-glass dome, and museum-quality artwork for a glimpse into the hotel’s storied past. Rest well in the serene comfort of one of our 189 well-appointed guestrooms and suites with classic décor and Austin detailing.
