MILLION AIR FLIGHT BRIEFING AUSTIN, TEXAS

City of the Violet Crown DANCE TO YOUR OWN TUNE IN THE LIVE MUSIC CAPITAL OF THE WORLD

WHERE TO SLEEP On the corner of Brazos and 6th Street in central Austin, you’ll fi nd The Driskill hotel. Filled with character and historic charm, it’s the perfect base for sightseeing in Austin. Prosperous cattle baron Jesse Driskill built the hotel in 1886; the hotel maintains many original fi ttings and interesting memorabilia. The Driskill Grill is famed for its Texas 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 and many return diners — a testament to its delicious American fare with a Texas twist. Order the Kurobuta Farms pork belly with pear miso and crispy kimchi Brussels sprouts; the Texas grass-fed lamb shank with local radish, nasturtium and corn nuts; and the brown sugar butternut squash with Mexican vanilla ice cream and candied pepitas. For a special evening, book the private dining room. 1900 University Avenue WHERE TO FLY Million Air Austin responded to the demand for top-quality corporate aircraft hangars in Austin, Texas with a limited o ff eringof subleases.
