Hotel Background

There have been several unexplained occurrences over the years since it was built in 1886. The hotel was built by a wealthy cattle barron by the name of Colonel Jesse Driskill.  Driskill only owned the hotel a few short years before going bankrupt and losing the place.  Over the years there have been several different owners but one thing that remains constant is that Col. Driskill will not leave his hotel.  Now known as one of the most prestigious and elaborate hotels in Austin, many also say this may be the most haunted hotel in Texas. I'm not sure if I'm a believer, but one thing is certain, there are plenty of tall Texas tales to convince even a skeptic.
