Oldest operating hotel in Austin Texas: Driskill Hotel
6 hours ago
Land was purchased to build the Driskill Hotel in 1884 for the $7500 and then opened in 1886.
The hotel opened with 60 rooms including 12 corner rooms with a rare feature in hotels of the region at the time – attached baths.
The building was designed for separate entrances for men and women – nothing unusual then.
The Driskill was conceived and built by Col. Jesse Driskill, a cattleman who spent his fortune constructing “the finest hotel south of St. Louis”. He was flush with cash from his service to the Confederate Army to which he supplied beef throughout the Civil War. In 1884, Driscoll purchased land in downtown Austin for $7500 and announced plans for a new hotel. Today, the Driskill remains one of the premier hotels in Austin, featuring lavish bridal suites, two restaurants, and a grand ballroom. ....
