The true flavor of Texas-style luxury emerges at the Driskill Hotel, one of the top-ranking hotel destinations for visitors to Austin. The Driskill offers an unbeatable location, amid the action of downtown Sixth Street. The former residence of a Texas cattle tycoon, the hotel is a lovely example of Victorian opulence. This is evident from the moment you first step into the breathtaking, three-story domed lobby complete with marble columns and stained glass ceiling. The Driskill combines the glamour of Edith Wharton’s old New York with the amenities of a modern luxury resort. Guest rooms of the Traditional Wing contain authentic period art featuring rustic scenes from the Texas Hill Country, as well as iron headboards, spacious armoires and vibrant navy and cerise fabrics. The rooms of the sumptuous Historic Wing offer terraces, hardwood floors, and vaulted ceilings. Enter the elegant, five-star Driskill Grill and enjoy gourmet fare in an atmosphere of 19th-century opulence, or, if you want a more casual meal, head to the 1886 CafĂ© and Bakery. Afterward, stretch out and relax on an authentic cowhide sofa in the Driskill Bar, listening to a live jazz pianist while savoring the bouquet of a delicious Hill Country wine.
