Best Restoration Project in the Past Five Years

The Driskill Hotel

This eye-catching landmark has been an Austin beauty queen since 1886. Each of its 188 guestrooms and suites were returned to the turn-of-the-century decor (with modern amenities), when the Driskill underwent a three-year, multi-million-dollar restoration. This past July, the Driskill also opened its most delicious new improvement, the 1886 Cafe & Bakery on the site of the fabled 1886 Lunchroom.
