Top notch collection of people to connect with.

Request an UberPedicab to take you over to the Convention Center.

The Driskill Hotel is lit up lovely at night. Consider shooting during dusk, and use a tripod to shoot at slower shutter speeds to avoid camera shake and blurry pictures.

pro tip: if you need to store jackets/laptops for a few hours or so, ask the concierge outside. there's a storage area in back. be nice and tip well!

Well-known for being one of the most haunted hotels in America!

Welcome SXSW'ers! While admiring the grandeur of the lobby, don't forget to enjoy the Driskill's complimentary in-room Wi-Fi. - Sony Vaio

A really freaking great brunch will cure that SXSW hangover of yours. Now go on and be your bad self. Party RSVP list: http://bit.ly/guwFIQ

This place is haunted! So they say...

The French toast at 1886 is to die for.

The Driskell Bar makes me swoon (when it's not SXSW mobbed). Great live music. Revolver light fixtures. Killer bartenders. (And don't miss the cupcakes sneakily for sale at the bar)

They folded my wash towels like a swan. What more do u need?

The cinnamon roll at 1886 is definitely a must.

Go here for a drink or three.

Have a drink at the bar, feel like an oil baron

The beds are delicious. And they keep toothpaste at the front desk.

Grab a seat on the rawhide couch.

You surprisingly can't hear 6th street inside! Magic! Order the Texas Pecan waffle for breakfast and eat it in the luxurious bed.

Great place, Victorian style... Only issue is that I don't know how to switch off the supposedly relaxing "frog noise" of the alarm clock

Wow. This place is amazing. Beautiful lobby and bar area.

nice place, but watch for creepy hotel security following guests around the halls without cause

I enjoyed my two-day visit very much - the staff was responsive and helpful - the two restaurants were terrific. I'd definitely return to The Drikill!

dying to go to brunch here!

I find the staff here helpful and polite - without exception.

Built in 1876 by a cattle baron and has hosted a history of political parties and inaugurations.In the 1970s this hotel was a hangout for musician, humorist, and journalist Richard "Kinky" Friedman.

driskill during sxsw is a quiet civilized stop to meet friends, have a drink, hold a work conf call, charge ur phone & go to the bathroom.

the little seats near the elevators next to the bar is a nice place to sneak away from the crowds. "elevator alley", i call it.

If your here for sxsw check out the Aloft Hotels/Banyan Branch party 3/18/10 1pm at Max's Winedive with Soft Pack, Avi Buffalo n more

Bar here is a bitch. Won't even serve water 3 mins after it's closed.

Rub shoulders and noses with the glitterati

Lounge lizard :-)

The classiest happy hour in Austin. Awesome.

Mike, buy three women a drink at the bar.

Really want to have a drink at the bar here and feel swanky.

you must try the breakfast burrito at the Driskill hotel, it is kick @ss. you can skip lunch if you can eat the entire thing.

The Citadel Room is a nice spot for a wedding. Small but very cozy.

Mmmmmm, Driskill. Not sure how to beat this in Austin.

Hunt for some ghosts. The Jilted Bride and Jesse Driskill maybe be around.

Close the bar every night. You are bound to find something cool.

Informal meet-up at SXSW on Mobile Web Apps and Mobile Widgets on Sunday the 15th at 5:00 at the bar at the Driskill Hotel.

Have a Texas martini

Too many people.
