upscale Everyone must go to the Driskell, if only to have a drink. The ambiance and regal feeling of this grand historic hotel takes you over the minute you hit the doors. The food is superb in the restraunt. The rooms are decorated flawlessly, making you feel like royalty. This is worth the money--expensive!
Simply Magnificent!!! – Staying at the Driskill is a must if you are staying in Austin. We have travelled all over the US and The Driskill ranks among the most memorable hotels we have ever stayed at and the rates are very reasonable considering the quality of the stay. You won't regret it or...forget it!!
A really great restaurant.... – A really great restaurant that is exceptional in every regard....
Don't hate me because I'm beautiful! – The Driskill is beautiful! Lobby, Driskill Grill, select suites. Caveat emptor - book directly with the Hotel so you know what you're getting. The "traditional" (newer) rooms are just plain ol' hotel rooms. The "historical" are quite nice, though some are oddly-shaped or small. But if you book the right room and don't come when the hotel's too busy to give great service, you'll make memories!
Best Hotel in Austin This world class hotel sits conveniently on the corner of Brazos and 6th street in Austin. The service is amazing, the rooms are always very nice, and the atmosphere is always great. The only thing that kept me from giving this property 5 stars is the parking. There is no parking garage attached to the hotel, so your only option is to valet your vehicle at $17 a night unless you want to trek across downtown austin with your bags (ok, the garage is only across the street, but the valet service should be w... read more
Not Impressed – I stayed at the Driskill on business. Even though I had made a reservation for two nights, the hotel had me staying for only one night. My law firm sent an overnight FedEx to me for Friday morning delivery. I did not receive it until Saturday morning, well after the time I needed it, because the hotel staff could not find it. The room was small - the bathroom even smaller. I expected more for $350 per night.
Beautiful... – The front desk staff, valet and bellman were the nicest I have ever met. I stay all over the world and this hotel was among the best. Not your average corporate chain. Rooms were historic and elegant with all of the amenities of modern hotels. Comfortable beds with down comfortors and great robes in the rooms-
Great... – Fantastic meal. Great, esoteric wines at fair prices. Staff was warm, inviting, gracefull, extremely professional (a rare find for Austin.) My companion and I can't recommend this super-fabulous restaurant enough....
Perfect Meal! – My husband and I went to the Driskill Grill to celebrate and we found the PERFECT place. Our meal was OUTSTANDING. By FAR the best meal I've had since moving to Austin. Also, the service and atmosphere are commendable. The bar at the Driskill Hotel was ideal for after-dinner drinks. I cannot recommend the Driskill Grill highly enough!!!!
