This is the east side of the historic downtown hotel The Driskill between East Sixth and East Seventh Streets on Brazos. The modern face of downtown looms above in the form of the Frost tower. We showed a peek at the other side of the hotel from the terrace at the Norwood Tower a while back. This is the entrance a lot of car traffic uses and the portico leads to a fabulously restored lobby. If you are in downtown Austin, a walk through the hotel public areas is in order. You can enter through the bar on Seventh or the little casual cafe on Sixth but this is the most dramatic entrance.
