The Driskill

Yesterday, I enjoyed the most magical experience! I was meeting a friend for lunch at the Driskill and arrived early to tour the hotel. Everyone was helpful and courteous. The entire hotel is glorious, and I can't wait to come back to dine and for events. We ate at 1886, and Madison was an incredible ambassador for the elegance of this establishment. Her level of care and attention was extraordinary, and her enthusiasm for the Driskill helped me fall in love with the place. We enjoyed dining in the lobby area among the art and beauty. Finally, my husband is a chef, and great food is our passion. Never have I tasted such glorious jam or an omelette so divine! Several years ago, we watched "The Hundred-Foot Journey" movie. Helen Mirren's character asked the aspiring chef to cook her an omelette. I did not fully understand then--but I certainly do now after eating the Lady Bird Omelet at 1886! I am counting the moments to return for sunrise breakfast and high tea. Thank you for an afternoon I will cherish.

Absolutely stunning hotel it was amazing. I sat at the bar and shared some drinks with a friend and the atmosphere is great we enjoyed ourselves very much. Every part of the hotel we saw was great! We saw a group of people taking a tour and I plan on doing that soon and coming back!

Beautiful historical hotel. The café is delightful. I did not stay in the rooms but I’m sure they’re also quite lovely. Perfect location if you like to visit Austin for music.
