The Driskill Hotel

With downtown "redevelopment" throwing up glass-and-metal behemoths everywhere you turn, it's nice to know that in the heart of the city there's still a place that looks like the downtown old-timers remember: classy, refined, and tastefully charming. Sure, the Hyatt's got everything you need; but for a taste of what upscale Austin used to be, the Driskill's still the grand old dame of high-end Austin hotels.
