Our firm was pleased to represent MML Hospitality in its recent engagement to re-concept and operate the food and beverage outlets at the historic Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas. As part of Hyatt’s Unbound Collection, the Driskill is undergoing a significant culinary transformation.

Tracie Cohen led our team in advising MML Hospitality on the pre-opening and management agreements, guiding the negotiation and documentation of this strategic partnership with the hotel. This transaction marked MML’s first multi-outlet hotel partnership, and we were pleased to provide strategic guidance on the unique operational and structural considerations that come with managing within a hotel context. MML is set to launch several new food and beverage concepts at the property, with Chef April Bloomfield overseeing culinary development.

This project reflects MML’s continued growth in the hospitality sector and Austin market. Our work reflects the firm’s deep experience navigating complex hospitality arrangements at high profile projects.
