This Stunning Hotel Is One Of The Most Historic Places In Texas…And You Need To Stay Here

We have a lot of historic hotels in Texas, but none are as big and beautiful as this one. The Driskill Hotel has been around since 1886, so you can practically feel the decades of memories and history as you walk through the door. If you want the opportunity to feel like royalty for a night in this stunning hotel that resembles a castle, I highly recommend squeezing a stay here into your summer plans.

Built in 1886 as a cattle showroom, it only makes sense that the Driskill would be full of history.

Its high ceilings and majestic columns give it the grandeur of a castle - one open to the public for overnight stays.

All of the rooms have been recently renovated, so you don't have to worry about the age of the hotel lessening the quality of your stay.

Not to mention the rooms provide an incredible view of the city at night.
The dining is incredible as well. The hotel's two restaurants and bar are all Zagat rated and offer some of the best American cuisine around.

They've definitely mastered the delicate balance between elegance and rustic Texas charm.

There is one thing to beware of, however - ghosts.

Given the hotel's rich history, it only makes sense that it would be haunted.
