The Driskill, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

The Driskill is a lovely hotel full of Texas charm. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the cafe and the bar as well. The location was very central and close to everything we needed.

Clean and all staff was helpful and friendly.

Outdated

Without a doubt, the most beautiful Hotel in all of Austin ! Great service, cozy Texas themed bar, and the earliest breakfast in the neighborhood. Will absolutely stay again.

Beautiful and historic hotel

Really liked this hotel.

Quick couples getaway! We chose this historic hotel in an extremely walkable and vibrant part of Austin without knowing it’s said to be haunted or in the filming of Miss Congeniality. While I saw no ghostly haunts, we enjoyed breakfast at the cafe and drinks in the evenings at the cozy bar. It was a beautiful, unique, and charming stay!

We paid almost $1000 for a two night stay for our wedding weekend to have the worst hotel experience we’ve ever had in all of our travels. We’ve stayed at places deemed less luxurious than this hotel and received way better service. The front staff (with the exception of one person during our checkout) was really bland and unwelcoming. When I walked up to the front desk to check in, they looked at me like I was bothering or inconveniencing them. They seemed annoyed to answer any of my questions. The hotel bar staff was rude and neglectful which is crazy because of how expensive their menu is. You would think you’d at least get service with a smile or maybe some manners. We waited 20 minutes at a dirty table for someone to finally notice us and walk over. The server didn’t even greet us in any way and instead asked if the dirty glasses and dishes were ours and when we said no he replied with “what do you want to drink?” And then started walking away from our table before we were even done with our order. Our food was awful. My pasta was burned and tasted old. My husbands food was cold and bland. The 1886 cafe downstairs by the lobby was also a huge disappointment. When I was ordering my drink I asked the barista a question about the menu and she literally turned her back to me while I was mid sentence without saying anything and completely ignored me and had another person take over. Don’t waste your money here. The architecture and history are the only redeeming qualities.

We loved this hotel, very elegant, lovely staff, the decor was everything you could want for an historic Texas hotel. The bar/restaurant was also great - good live music and lively atmosphere. The only complaint we had was that the pillows were too soft and not good quality and even upon request we were not able to exchange them for quality ones.

Loved the Driskill and can’t wait to stay again.
