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

Located in the center of it all, these guestrooms reflect a timeless approach to comfort. Intentional layouts include a sitting area and your choice of bed configurations, all grounded in subtle Texas detailing that is a testament to transformation.

Deluxe Room

Generous in layout and grounded in character, these guestrooms offer a comfortable retreat within our historic Austin hotel. A king bed and sitting area create a space that feels functional and welcoming. Marble or Art Deco tiled bathrooms complete the space to connect heritage and modern design.

Historic Room

Among the original rooms of the hotel, these spaces carry the imprint of the late 1800s. Preserved columns and architectural details, 14-foot ceilings, offering a more intimate stay that feels closely tied to the building’s beginnings.

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

Enjoy the central location of our hotel in the heart of downtown Austin, with accessible features available in our charming vintage rooms.

Cattle Baron Suite

Big, bold, and distinctly Texan, the Cattle Baron Suite brings plenty of room to settle in. This two-bedroom suite includes a primary bedroom with a king bed, a second bedroom with two queen beds, two full bathrooms, and 1,230 square feet of living space.

A nod to its original founder, Jesse Driskill, soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, and a grand fireplace that sets the tone, while a dining room for eight invites conversation to linger, all finished with details that honor the spirit of a true Texas cattle baron.

Lyndon B. Johnson Suite

Rich in personality and rooted in Texas history, this 925-square-foot presidential suite features a king bedroom and a separate living room that opens directly onto a private balcony overlooking historic 6th Street.

Inspired by Lyndon B. and Lady Bird Johnson, the design reflects a distinctly Lone Star point of view, from its stately feel to the custom-stained-glass window adorned with Texas bluebonnets and the regal decor throughout. It is a stay that feels both personal and presidential, with the city right outside your door.

Brazos Suite with Balcony

These suites are shaped by their surroundings, each one offering a hotel room with a balcony overlooking either Brazos Street or the energy of 6th Street in downtown Austin.

Inside, 540 to 650 square feet unfold into separate living and sleeping spaces, with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a dining area for gathering. The connection to the city is immediate, yet never overwhelming.

Landmark Suite

A testimony to modern Texas charm, sized at 490-595 square feet, the Landmark Suites are uniquely designed with calming color palettes, plush bedding, hardwood floors, and soaring ceilings. Some suites feature balconies, while others feature large soaking tubs, or separate living rooms.

1886 Suites

Tucked into a quieter corner of the hotel, this 400- to 415-square-foot suite offers a more secluded take on The Driskill experience. The layout features a separate living room and sleeping area, offering space to unwind at your own pace. Historic columns and architectural details, echoed from the lobby and mezzanine, connect the room to the building’s 1886 roots available in queen or king.

Lone Star Suite

Designed for longer stays and unhurried moments, these 540-650-square-foot suites feel like a private residence within the hotel. A separate living and dining area, along with a dedicated dressing room, creates a sense of ease and intention.

From the windows, Brazos Street unfolds below, offering a connection to downtown Austin that feels both legendary and personal.

Heritage Suite

Once the preferred stay for President Lyndon B. Johnson, the Heritage Suite carries a regal aura that few rooms can match. Overlooking 6th Street, the space is defined by stained glass windows, a clawfoot soaking tub, and French doors that open to a private hotel balcony.

It is a room shaped by history, yet entirely suited to the present.
