FANCY hotel If you are willing to shell out BIG bucks for a room and have the desire to splurge this is the best in town. It is very elegant. They have a jazz band that plays, mirrored elevators, and oh so wonderful rooms. It is located right smack in the center of Austins night life.

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

High Class Hotel My husband suprised me by getting us a room here for our anniversary. This place sure made me feel like I was being wined and dined in high class. The food was incredible as was the posh surroundings. It was nice to actually be on 6th street and having entertainment right there.

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!

Driskill Hotel This is a great hotel. It is a little old, but it is also pretty elegant. The staff here are great and were courteous; the service here was very impressive. The lobby is very beautiful and has great artwork. It was definitely my favorite part of the hotel. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here and can't wait to go back.

It is even more beautiful in person The Driskell Hotel is a historic building in downtown Austin, right on 6th St. It is very upscale, an has a restuarant inside, which serves wonderful food. The rooms are very beautiful, and the staff makes sure every detail is taken care of. Even if you aren't staying the night, it is worth checking out to see what buildings were built like long ago.

Amazing MeaL – My boyfriend and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary with dinner at The Driskoll last night. We both chose the 7 course dinner and for both of us it was the best dining experience we've ever had. I had the wine pairings and each one was perfectly matched with the course we were served. Our waiter took superb care of us throughout the night without being overbearing, The entire staff was well trained and courteous. Chef Gelman's food was like a beautiful symphony for the senses. Last night Driskoll Grill became... read more

Restaurant Review Only - Driskell Grill – I created this CitySearch account to write this one review, that is how bad my experience was. This is the most absurdly overpriced restaurant for Valentine's Day imaginable. $130 for an average at best tasting menu. How do you make lobster this bad? No prices on the menu, now I know why. You give people one option for Valentine's Day and price gouge the hell out of them. I have paid $100+ for a meal before and I'll do it again but this is inexcusable. Such bad food for such an outra... read more
