Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“Every city needs a beautiful historic hotel, ideally made from native stone and built by a 19th-century cattle baron. Although this one is now owned by the Hyatt, you’ll find no generic hotel decor here; everything is pure Texas.”

Fodors review:

“Each room—decorated with old photos, vintage curios, and refurbished antiques—is unique, so specific requests should be made when reserving.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Austin.

Telegraph review:

“An historic hotel that recreates the opulence and glamour of a bygone time. The Driskill is a landmark of Texas hospitality. It sets the standard for elegance and, while fully restored and redecorated, retains classics and traditions throughout.”

Fabulous stay at The Driskill exceeded expectations, with elegance, comfor and outstanding service.

King Deluxe Room was well worth the money. Beautifully appointed, well laid out, comfortable, sofa a nice touch, comfortable bed, baths was perfect size with an ante-room with a second sink and coffeebar. Spacious, elegant, comfortable, and the restaurants on the property were absolutely superb. And the nicest small touches - a great white oise machine that buffered any sounds from adjoining rooms. The Cafe and Bakery on premises was fabulous, as was the 1886 Restaurant.

Nothing. It was absolutely wonderful.

Simply elegant and comfortable

The location of the hotel was perfect, in the heart of much to see. We stayed in the historical section of the hotel and the room was very spacious. The shower was simply amazing and the bed was comfy. I love a quiet hotel and heard zero outside noise or noise from other guests. It was a perfect stay.

I can't find anything to not like.

We will be back soon!!!

The staff was very responsive. We appreciate the provision of a small fridge as we had several nights stay, and coffee and water were provided daily. The facilities are top notch and beautiful. The Christmas tree and decorations were impressive and the smell of fir trees greeted you when you entered, and there was lovely music daily.

All the staff were pleasant and helpful. But getting my car from valet consistently in 10 minutes or less is phenomenal.

Great location. Very energetic feel. Valet service was best I can recall in years.

Coffee bar/ casual restaurant was very slow. Faster to go around the corner to Royal Blue to get coffee.

Front desk staff were knowledgeable and helpful. The building is awesome. The location is great. The toiletries smelled nice.

The pillows were all the same kind of down filling, difficult to get good head support. The bed covers were also too warm for summer.
