Overview
Anchoring the heart of the Live Music Capital (just a few short blocks from the State Capitol) this historical property and hotel heavyweight has been accommodating Austin's visitors for more than a century. But just because this property is the city's grand dame doesn't mean it's stuck in the past. Sure, visitors are drawn to The Driskill's period decor – the property's leather furniture and embossed ceilings add a sense of grandeur – but they also appreciate the guest rooms' more contemporary amenities, like plasma TVs and complimentary high-speed internet access. The hotel's restaurants, The Driskill Grill and the 1886 Café & Bakery, also earn high praise, with diners calling the food spectacular and the service on point. But guests aren't the only ones who will feel like VIPs here: The Driskill even makes sure that your pooch has everything he or she needs, from a specially designed bed to a dog toy. Part of the Hyatt portfolio, loyalty members can earn and use points here.

Each room — decorated with old photos, vintage curios, and refurbished antiques — is unique, so specific requests should be made when reserving.
The historic Driskill stands at the corner of Sixth Street near Congress Avenue and is quintessentially Texan — in the best rich-oilman, old-cattle-baron sense.
Relax with spa treatments, work out in the modern fitness centre or dine at the award-winning on-site restaurant. The 24-hour concierge service can also help to make sure every stay is unforgettable.
The very Texan and historic hotel located in the heart of downtown was opened in 1886 by Jesse Lincoln, a wealthy cattle baron whose portrait remains in the lobby.
