MILLION AIR FLIGHT BRIEFING AUSTIN, TEXAS

The violet crown DANCE TO YOUR OWN TUNE AT THE LIVE MUSIC CAPITAL OF THE WORLD

WHERE TO SLEEP Right in the center of Austin, on the corner of Brazos and 6th streets, you’ll find The Driskill Hotel. It’s the perfect base for sightseeing in Austin. It has oodles of character and is full of historic charm; prosperous cattle baron Jesse Driskill built the hotel in 1886, and the hotel maintains many original fittings and interesting memorabilia. The hotel embodies the opulence and glamour of a bygone time, and The Driskill Grill is famed for its Texan cuisine — order the local wagyu beef. There are 189 guest rooms to choose from, each with its own individual character, but we love the two-bedroom Cattle Baron Suite best. WHERE TO EAT The Carillon draws visitors from far and wide and has many return diners — a testament to its delicious American fare with a Texan twist. Order the Texas corn soup with garlic aioli and roasted ‘street’ corn; the Silver Fern Farms ribeye with lobster-roasted potato taquito and ice spinach; and the vanilla cornmeal pound cake with blueberry basil mascarpone. For a special evening, book the private dining room. 1900 University Avenue +1 512 404 3655 thecarillonrestaurant.com WHERE TO FLY Million Air Austin responded to the high demand for top-quality corporate aircraft hangars in Austin, Texas with a limited offering of subleases.
