About us
A storied setting for Austin’s next gathering: At the heart of downtown Austin, The Driskill has welcomed the city’s most memorable gatherings since 1886. Built by ranchman Jesse Driskill as “the finest hotel south of St. Louis,” this historic landmark has hosted generations of travelers, dignitaries, musicians and celebrations. Its story continues in the grand rooms and storied halls that bring people together today. With 189 newly restored guest rooms, including 16 suites, and more than 16,500 square feet of distinctive meeting and event space, The Driskill offers a singular setting for gatherings of every scale. From intimate meetings to grand celebrations beneath gilded ceilings, each occasion is shaped by thoughtful service, timeless character and a sense of place unmistakably Austin. Between sessions, guests can gather at The Driskill Bar, a longstanding Austin institution, and enjoy signature dining rooted in Texas tradition. Just steps from the city’s live music venues, entertainment districts and the Texas State Capitol, the hotel brings Austin close—and gives every gathering a story to tell.
