Your A List: Best Hotel Bar
Since the 19th Century, the Driskill Hotel has served as a watering hole for the powerful and anonymous alike. Located outside the hotel’s famous grill, the Western Baroque bar is quiet, yet lively, posh, but approachable. It won 41 percent of the vote in the A List readers poll for Best Hotel Bar.
The Four Seasons, a den of understated luxury, is also a celebrity magnet. It took 21 percent of the tally.
The Omni, located in a vast atrium, came in third with 17 percent. The Stephen F. Austin, with its romantic terrace and old urban feel, was not far behind at 14 percent.
Hotel San Jose on South Congress — which opens onto a gorgeous garden — attracted 5 percent. The rest — Lakeway Inn, Barton Creek, Radisson Downtown, Hyatt Regency and Hilton Austin — managed less than 1 percent each.
