Who can check in (minimum age)
The reservation holder/person checking in at The Driskill must be at least 21 years old. A valid photo ID and credit card are required at check-in.
This 21+ check-in rule applies to the person who signs for the room; it does not mean the hotel is adults-only. Children of all ages are welcome to stay when accompanied by the qualified reservation holder.
- Reservation holder must be 21+
- Photo ID and credit card required at check-in
- Guests under 21 must be checked in by a parent or legal guardian

| Minimum check-in age | 21 years (reservation holder) |
| ID at arrival | Valid photo ID and credit card required |
| Under-21 guests | May stay if checked in by parent/guardian |
Children, extra beds, and family stays
The hotel allows children of all ages to stay. Some booking sources indicate up to two children under 17 can stay free using existing beds in a parent/guardian's room; children 18 and older are charged as adults.
The property does not advertise separate family-only towers or adults-only sections — the 21+ rule concerns the lead guest checking in, not who may occupy rooms with that lead guest.
- Children of all ages may stay
- Up to 2 children under 17 can stay free in existing beds (per booking listings)
- Children 18+ are charged as adults
| Situation | How it’s handled |
|---|---|
| Children under 17 | Up to 2 may stay free in existing beds |
| Guests 18 and older | Counted and charged as adults |
| Adults-only towers | None indicated; full property enforces 21+ check-in |
