4The Driskill
Step inside one of the most legendary — and infamously haunted — landmarks in Austin: the Driskill Hotel. Built in 1886 and dripping with opulent charm, this grand hotel is as beautiful as it is bone-chilling. With its marble floors, stained glass dome, and antique chandeliers, the Driskill whispers stories from another era… and maybe a few ghosts too. From its breathtaking Romanesque architecture to the stunning stained-glass dome in the lobby, the Driskill is a walk through history. As you explore its richly decorated halls, you’ll hear stories of Texas politics, Southern hospitality, and the influential guests who once stayed here — including Lyndon B. Johnson, who had his first date with Lady Bird at the hotel.
