Property Description |
|
Recently completing a three-year $35 million restoration, The Driskill has been Austin's most celebrated hotel for over a century. Built in Romanesque style the Driskill is proudly and majestically located in the heart of Austin's business and entertainment district. Each of the 205 guest rooms and suites are decorated in turn-of-the-century Victorian design. The elaborate lobby features an intricate hand laid marble floor, a beautiful hand painted decorative ceiling, original artwork and a custon made stained glass dome that proudly serves as the focal point of the majestic lobby. A luxury hotel, The Driskill is a world unto itself, a world which transcends time and place. Lovingly transformed into something far more enticing, the Driskill has become a private haven of opulence and comfort. It now stands apart as a landmark of refined hospitality with a rich appreciation of the past and an elegant vision for the future.
