Hotel History
The properties namesake, Jesse Driskill, built a fortune as a cattle baron and decided to build one of the nation’s most grandiose hotels right in the heart of the Texas State Capital.
In 1886, the famous Driskill Hotel opened to an incredible tidal wave of fanfare and was hailed as “One of the Finest Hotels in the Whole Country,” by the Austin American Statesman.
Not bad for a hotel that cost $400,000 to build.

Rooms at the Driskill come equipped with a blend of contemporary and unique historical artwork, custom Driskill beds with luxurious linens, signature Drisill furniture, spacious work desks with complimentary wireless internet and plasma televisions.
Want to feel pampered? Each room also has plush terry robes, fine English-imported personal care items, regal bath linens, artfully stocked mini-bars and custom vanities, showers and tubs.
Let’s Meet...
The Driskill also offers meeting planners more than 18,000 square-feet of flexible meeting and event space. Whether you need a quaint executive board retreat or a lavish wedding, the property is the perfect solution.
Delectable Dining
A treasure in it’s own right is the four-diamond Driskill Grill which invites diners to feast on an ever-changing array of innovative and impeccably prepared fare in the most elegant of surroundings. Executive Chef Jonathan Gelman brings his experience from some of the country’s most luxurious hotel and resort restaurants to usher in a new era of culinary excellence at The Grill and throughout the hotel’s food operations.
