The Driskill Hotel by Hyatt, Austin
More photosExpert reviews
“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.”
“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.
“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.”

We had a nice time but had a hard finding which entrance to use.
There could be MORE places to hang towels, etc. And there could be more places to put toilet articles in the bath area.

It’s grandeur!! We felt very special to call the Driskill home for a few days!!

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.

Kimber Modern Hotel, Austin
Frommers + 2 more“The Kimber Modern is close to all that the popular South Congress Avenue area has to offer, although in spirit it’s miles away from the bustle of the SoCo strip. The property combines all the comfort of a fine hotel with the intimacy of a bed and breakfast.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Austin.
Hotel Ella, Austin
Lonely Planet + 3 more“With its wraparound porch, Corinthian columns and commanding perch on Judge’s Hill, this stately building is hands-down the most photogenic inn in town. Visually striking Texas modernist artwork adorns the walls in both rooms and common areas, setting this new boutique hotel apart from its competitors.”
Miraval Resort & Spa, Austin
Fodors + 1 more“On a hilltop ridge amidst the Balcones Canyonlands nature preserve, just 30 minutes from Austin, Miraval (previously Travaasa) delivers a refreshing spin on a luxury resort, inspired by its Hill Country setting.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Austin.
Hotel St Cecilia, Austin
Lonely Planet + 2 more“The hustle and bustle of South Congress melts away the moment you cross over onto the serene lawn graced by a 300-year-old live oak. Choose from a suite in the Victorian-style house (c 1888) furnished with the perfect blend of modern, vintage and artistic touches, a studio in the main building, or one of the sleek poolside bungalows.”
