The Driskill: Historic Downtown Austin Hotel Wedding Venue | Austin, TX
Woven into Austin’s story since 1886, The Driskill sits at 604 Brazos Street in the heart of downtown Austin, part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt. It is one of the city’s most iconic wedding venues, where Victorian grandeur meets modern luxury. The hotel completed a property-wide renovation in 2026 that refreshed its event spaces and dining. For couples who want a wedding with real history, The Driskill offers something no new-build venue can match.
What sets The Driskill apart is that weddings take over the hotel’s entire second level. Couples reserve exclusive use of The Driskill Mezzanine, and the celebration flows from one room to the next:
The Driskill Ballroom: The hotel’s grandest room, with a vaulted trompe l’oeil dome that took three months to complete, a Texas flag mural, and crystal chandeliers. Once a meeting place for politicians and lobbyists during the building of the Texas State Capitol, it hosts both ceremonies and receptions in 2,501 sq. ft.
The Maximilian Room: A 1,500 sq. ft. room in gold and white, with eight gold leaf mirrors discovered in the 1930s. It is a charming setting for an intimate reception, rehearsal dinner or smaller wedding.
The Mezzanine Foyer & Covered Balconies: The foyer is lined with hand-painted columns and marble floors, and it often hosts ceremonies. Two covered outdoor balconies add open-air space overlooking downtown Austin.
Jim Hogg Parlor, Austin Room & Governor’s Boardroom: Smaller private rooms on the Mezzanine, useful for getting ready, a quiet moment, vendors or a family gathering.
Five Guestroom Suites: Included in the exclusive Mezzanine booking, giving the wedding party space to stay and prepare on site.
Dining: All-inclusive receptions feature seasonal, locally inspired menus, with a four-course meal, plated dinners or action stations. Hotel dining includes The Driskill Bar, The Victorian, The Driskill Grill and the 1886 Café & Bakery.
Guest Stay: The hotel offers romantic suites and rooms in the historic building, so couples and guests can stay for the whole weekend. The hotel also offers a guest room block for weddings.
Ceremony space is included with the Mezzanine booking, and the hotel’s planning team helps couples through the process, from the first tour to the day itself.

Lovely place it is unique and old in the best way!!! TRINNA! Me and my girls were in the bathroom and she was the most nicest girl ever her name is trinna and she is the best I give her 5 star because she makes the place complete!
We just went to the bar and we're ignored at entrance level bar so went to inside hotel bar and it was very nice.
We did the 30 minute hotel tour on a rainy day as an indoor activity while we were in town. The tour guide was very fun and knowledgeable. We were able to hear some interesting history and see all the beautiful architecture. Highly recommended as an indoor activity.
Really disappointing experience, especially since this was my birthday trip. I left my birthday cake with the front desk the day before and told them I’d pick it up around 10–10:30 the next morning. When I came back, they couldn’t find it. I waited for more than 10 minutes but had an 11am birthday lunch reservation and my Uber was already there. I asked if they could send the cake to the restaurant once they found it, but they just told me there was no one who could deliver it. The most frustrating part was that no one really seemed to take ownership of the situation. I planned everything ahead, including ordering the cake, and trusted the hotel to keep it for me. This wasn’t my mistake, but I was the one who had to deal with it and it completely added unnecessary stress to my birthday. I also booked The Driskill through Amex The Hotel Collection, so I expected much better service than this. Really disappointing
Great location! All of the restaurants were incredible. The valet service was the best. We loved being right on 6th street. The room was so quiet, zero street noise. Great stay & we will be back.
