The Driskill

Top choice in Austin


Every city needs a beautiful historic hotel, ideally made from native stone and built by a 19th-century cattle baron. Although this one is now owned by the Hyatt, you'll find no generic hotel decor here; everything is pure Texas, especially the bar with wall-mounted longhorns, leather couches and a stained-glass dome. The elegant rooms are taxidermy free.

A bit of trivia? LBJ and Lady Bird had their first date here. Valet-only parking costs $45. The pet fee is $100 per stay, up to six nights.
