The Driskill - A historic 5-star landmark with grand ballrooms, live music, and award-winning dining in downtown Austin

Standing at the corner of 6th Street and Brazos Street since 1886, this 5-star Austin hotel features 189 rooms including 14 suites across its historic property. The Driskill offers 18000 square feet of event space, highlighted by a 2500-square-foot ballroom with a vaulted trompe l'oeil dome and Texas flag mural. Executive Chef Mark Dayanandan leads the culinary program, which includes The Driskill Bar with nightly live music, and the Victorian-style 1886 Café & Bakery serving Texas comfort foods. Located steps from the Texas State Capitol and Convention Center, The Driskill maintains original architectural elements like marble floors, hand-painted columns, and a grand mezzanine spanning 5600 square feet with two private balconies.

Pros

Features historic design elements including Burled Walnut wainscoting from 1886 and original gold leaf mirrors

Live music performances seven nights per week in The Driskill Bar

Award-winning dining program recognized by Food & Wine magazine

Premium location on 6th Street within walking distance to major attractions

Cons

Historic rooms in the original building are smaller than modern hotel standards

The bustling 6th Street entertainment district can be noisy during evenings

“There's a unique charm in finding a luxury experience steeped in Texas history, and this hotel certainly delivers on that front. From the acclaimed culinary offerings led by Chef Mark Dayanandan to the grand event spaces, there's an air of sophistication blended with local flavor; I particularly appreciate its prime location near the Austin Convention Center and the lively 6th Street.”
