Travel Like a Texan: Lodge at the Driskill

The city of Austin offers more to activities and sites than this post can contain - including the Texas Capital, nearby lakes, live music, and a hosts of great Texas restaurants.  



When you go there - stay at the Driskill.
The Driskill Hotel, a Romanesque style building completed in 1886, is the oldest operating hotel in Austin, and one of the best-known hotels in Texas generally. The Driskill was conceived and built by Col. Jesse Driskill, a cattleman who spent his fortune constructing "the finest hotel south of St. Louis."

Today the Driskill remains one of the premier hotels in Texas, featuring lavish bridal suites, two restaurants, and a grand ballroom. 

The hotel is located at 604 Brazos Street.
