Rooms

Some places give you a room. The Driskill gives you a place in the story.

For more than a century, Austin's movers, makers, and larger-than-life characters have passed through these doors. Their stories linger in the details—ornate craftsmanship, rich textures, and the quiet confidence of a hotel that has seen generations come and go.

Across 189 guestrooms and suites, history and hospitality share the same address. Step onto a private balcony overlooking downtown Austin, linger over a slow morning in bed, or retreat behind doors that have welcomed guests since the days of cattle barons and campaign trails.

The city has changed much since 1886; the feeling of staying at The Driskill has not. In the best ways.

Standard Room

Right in the heart of the hotel, these guest rooms embody The Driskill's enduring approach to hospitality. Thoughtfully arranged with inviting sitting areas and a choice of bed configurations, each room pairs timeless comfort with subtle Texas character. It is a space designed for settling in, slowing down, and becoming part of the story.

Deluxe Room

A little more room, a little more ease. These guestrooms pair generous layouts with the character of a historic Austin landmark. A king bed, inviting sitting area, and marble or Art Deco-inspired bathrooms create a stay that feels both rooted in history and comfortably modern.

Historic Room

These are the rooms where the story began. Among the hotel's original accommodations, Historic Rooms preserve architectural details from the late 1800s, including soaring 14-foot ceilings, original columns, and distinctive craftsmanship. Rich with character, they offer an intimate connection to The Driskill's storied past.

Balcony Room

Step outside and watch Austin unfold. Private balconies offer sweeping views of downtown, from the Texas State Capitol to the storied streets below. As the city shifts from morning light to evening glow, these guestrooms provide a front-row seat to the rhythm of Austin.

Accessible

Historic character and thoughtful accessibility come together in these welcoming accommodations. Located in the heart of downtown Austin, accessible guestrooms offer vintage charm alongside features designed to provide a comfortable and seamless stay.

Cattle Baron Suite

Built for larger-than-life personalities, the Cattle Baron Suite tips its hat to founder Jesse Driskill and the bold spirit that shaped Austin's original grand hotel. Soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, a stately fireplace, and a dining room made for storytelling create a setting where conversations linger long after the last round is poured. Rich in character and unmistakably Texan, this is The Driskill at its most legendary.

Lyndon B. Johnson Suite

Some suites offer a place to stay. This one offers a place in Texas history. Inspired by Lyndon B. and Lady Bird Johnson, the suite balances presidential grandeur with personal charm. A private balcony overlooks the streets below, while custom stained glass, rich furnishings, and thoughtful Texas details create a setting worthy of one of the state's most influential couples.

Brazos Suite with Balcony

With private balconies overlooking downtown Austin, these suites keep you connected to the city while offering space to retreat from it. Separate living and sleeping areas, vaulted ceilings, and inviting gathering spaces create an atmosphere that feels equal parts vibrant and relaxed.

Landmark Suite

The Landmark Suite captures the quieter side of The Driskill. Thoughtfully designed with warm textures, soaring ceilings, and distinctive architectural details, each suite offers its own character. Select accommodations feature balconies, soaking tubs, or separate living spaces, creating a stay that feels effortlessly personal.

1886 Suites

Named for the year it all began, the 1886 Suite offers a quieter, more intimate expression of The Driskill. A separate living area invites slower mornings and unhurried evenings, while original architectural details echo the craftsmanship found throughout the hotel's storied interiors.

Lone Star Suite

Equal parts residence and retreat, the Lone Star Suite was made for guests who prefer to settle in and stay awhile. Separate living and dining spaces, a dedicated dressing room, and views of Brazos Street create a sense of place that feels distinctly Austin and unmistakably Driskill.

Heritage Suite

Some rooms witness history. Others become part of it. Once favored by President Lyndon B. Johnson, the Heritage Suite is defined by stained glass windows, French doors, a clawfoot soaking tub, and a private balcony overlooking downtown Austin. Rich in character and quietly grand, it remains one of the hotel's most storied accommodations.
