Loved by The Driskill guests
"The lobby décor was set up for Xmas with a huge, highly decorated tree in the center, under an extremely ornate ceiling sconce."
"Once you pass through those golden doors however, the first thing that hits you is the fait smell of sandalwood and leather constantly being misted throughout the lobby."
"Built in 1886 it has a 19th century elegance."
