Have a favorite hotel for gawking at bombs bursting in air? Send it our way.

So far this week, we've brought you the best hotels for fireworks in NYC, Boston, Denver and San Fran. While these are all lovely cities, we feel we'd be doing you a great disservice by leaving out good ol' ultra-patriotic Texas. In Austin, you can catch a spectacular fireworks display at Zilker Park accompanied by a free Austin Symphony concert.

You might say I was raised by them. So you'd think I could handle this cowhide sofa in the Driskill Hotel in Austin. But I couldn't. I think it smelled. Is anyone into it?</blockquote></p><p>On the bright side, <a href="http://www.gridskipper.com/travel/austin/wifi-madness-special-sxsw-austin-edition-244585.php">Gridskipper</a> says the hotel bar has free WiFi.
