Driskill Hotel, National Register Historic hotel in downtown Austin, United States.
The Driskill features 189 guest rooms, including 14 suites, housed within a white limestone and pressed brick Romanesque Revival structure from 1886.
Jesse Driskill, a cattle baron from Missouri, invested his fortune to construct this four-story hotel, which opened with a grand celebration on December 20, 1886.
The hotel maintains three dining establishments, including the 1886 Café & Bakery, which serves Texas-inspired dishes and traditional breakfast selections throughout the day.
Located at the intersection of 6th Street and Brazos Street, the Driskill provides direct access to Austin's entertainment district and stands three blocks from the Texas Capitol.
President Lyndon Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson maintained a connection to the hotel, using it as an informal headquarters during their political campaigns of the 1950s.
