The Best Sight in Downtown with Sixth Street and Rainey Street, Austin

If you make time to visit one Austin hotel, even though you're not staying there, make it The Driskill. This delightful grande dame—which many say is haunted—is a Romanesque-style monument located right in the heart of Sixth Street. It features gorgeous two-story porches with Romanesque Revival columns surrounding both arched entrances and a Texas-sized lobby and mezzanine. A café, bakery, and bar, which offers free live music seven nights a week, are all open to the public. Over the years, countless legislators and powerful politicians have held court within the hotel's limestone walls, and some are believed to have never left. Hence, the popular guided ghost tours that stop daily at this historical property.
