Historic beauty in heart of downtown Austin
The Driskill is worth a visit if you are going to Austin and want to be downtown. Great location with valet parking (ubiquitous in Austin). Superb bar which is fun for watching Texans get down. Had two meals in the bakery grill and both were of highest quality. Room was quiet and well appointed, but bathroom was too small. However, other friends had rooms with bigger bath, so check that out before you book. Only drawback is if you are planning on going to a Univ. of Texas football game, it is almost impossible to get to the stadium unless you walk. Cabs are plenty, except around game time.
