About us

In the heart of downtown Austin, where the city’s history and culture continue to unfold, stands The Driskill—an enduring icon of Texas hospitality since 1886. Built by cattle baron Jesse Driskill as “the finest hotel south of St. Louis,” the hotel has welcomed generations of travelers, dignitaries, musicians, and celebrations, remaining deeply woven into the story of the city itself. Today, The Driskill blends historic character with modern ease across 189 thoughtfully restored guest rooms, including 16 suites, alongside over 16,500 square feet of distinctive meeting and event space. From intimate gatherings rich with Texas character to grand celebrations beneath gilded ceilings, each event is shaped by storied surroundings, thoughtful service, and a sense of place that feels unmistakably Austin. Guests can gather throughout the hotel’s celebrated dining and bar spaces, including The Driskill Bar, a longstanding Austin institution, and signature culinary experiences rooted in Texas tradition. Located steps from Austin’s live music venues, entertainment districts, and the Texas State Capitol, The Driskill offers a setting that is both deeply historic and unmistakably connected to the energy of the city today.
