Description

     A one night stay in a Traditional Guestroom at the elegant Driskill Hotel with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries delivered to your room upon arrival.
     Built in 1886 as the showplace of a cattle baron, The Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas stands as a landmark of Texas hospitality. Austin's legendary luxury hotel occupies a dynamic site in the city's business district, convenient to the capitol building, convention center, entertainment district and other key destinations. The lobby of the Driskill sets the initial tone of comfort and elegance with three-story columns framing a marble floor and stained-glass dome ceiling. Guests select from 189 rooms and suites distributed between the Historic Wing - with soaring ceilings, elaborate woodwork and balconies- and the Traditional Wing, built in 1929 and featuring art deco styling and the colors of the Texas Hill Country.
     For well over a century, the Driskill has been the crown jewel of Austin, and where Texas governors traditionally stage their inaugural balls. Over the years it has been host to many notable guests, such as President Lyndon Johnson, Amelia Earhart, Louis Armstrong, Michael Jordan, Paul Simon, and Presidents William Clinton and George W. Bush. Our package offers a Friday night stay in a Traditional Guest Room at this majestic and historic building located in the heart of downtown Austin. Let yourself be embraced by the Driskill's splendor and hospitality
