The Driskill Hotel
Built in 1886 by wealthy cattle baron Colonel Jesse Driskill, The Driskill Hotel stands as the oldest operating hotel in Austin, Texas. Renowned for its grand Romanesque Revival architecture, the hotel boasts a storied history filled with political galas, high-society romance, and tragic deaths. Today, it is widely considered one of the most actively haunted hotels in Texas, famous for the lingering spirits of its founder, a young girl with a bouncing ball, and bride apparitions.
