Pools & signature amenity: No pool vs multiple pools and activities

The Driskill – Pools & signature amenity

The Driskill does not have an on-site swimming pool; the property’s strengths are location and historic public spaces.

  • No on-site swimming pool — the hotel emphasizes walkable downtown access instead.
