Austin's most renowned hotel, The Driskill is stylishly grand and opulent. A member of the 'Leading Hotels of the World', it has recently had the mother of all makeovers. It is an ideal abode because of its proximity to both the corporate as well as the entertainment districts of Austin. The rooms are splendid; each of 205 have been done up in turn-of-the century Victorian design. Take a walk down the beautiful lobby bedecked with hand-made marble, hand-painted ceilings and a custom-made stained glass dome. Such luxury is hard to leave behind to explore the rest of Austin!
