Hotel Van Zandt

I stayed with my Mom for her 90th birthday! It was a “girls’” trip with my 21 yo daughter, my niece and my sister. The entire staff rolled out the red carpet for my mom given her 90th bday! They were all so nice and accommodating and giving us a few perks. The decor is awesome…the rooftop pool is incredible, beds & pillows are comfortable…worth the money to stay here! I felt bad that I did not write a review earlier. I can’t wait to come back…going again in July! See you soon HVZ!

Hotel Van Zandt was one of my favorite hotel stays ever! It is beautifully decorated with really cool lighting, a fun and lively atmosphere, full of character and I especially loved the musical references and decor. It is also in the best location to explore downtown Austin. The staff is incredible. Jordyne checked me in and hearing that I was in Austin under difficult circimstances she upgraded my room and continued to do special things to make my stay comfortable and special. She was amazing! Francisco at the front desk was also delightful. The entire staff from valet to front desk to servers at Geraldines were kind, professional and attentive. I had brunch twice at Geraldine's and loved my meal.I had Devon as my server and she was great. I can't wait to come back and bring my sisters for a girl's trip and to bring my kids as well. Highly recommend!

Van Zandt is easily one of the best places I’ve stayed. From the second you walk in, the lobby has a sharp, beautiful design. The trombone chandelier in the lobby is a standout, complimenting the beautiful array of furniture with an equally gorgeous bar attached. Mason and Alex at the front desk made the check in process seamless, followed by Colton the concierge waiting adjacent ready to help you plan a perfect night. The room was clean, spacious, and had a beautiful view of the lake. Immediately when you walk into the room you’re met with a personalized message and a vinyl of a band of your choice provided by the hotel from a Q&A you fill out prior to your stay with a record player in the room, making it that much more special! The hotel is right off Rainey street and close enough to downtown to have the option of experiencing both, which I highly reccomend! Everything ran smooth, the vibe was laid back but professional, and the attention to detail really showed. The only part I can complain about is the fact I had to leave! Amazing experience across the board and I can’t recommend staying here enough.

We needed a hotel in Austin while attending a friend’s daughter’s wedding at a venue outside the city. This place looked attractive and with a cool vibe. That was true enough — great rooms, really nice shower. The neighborhood, Rainey St. District, is a lively music and food scene. It turned out that was a little too lively (noisy) for us, and the hotel itself was more noisy than we would have liked — we were on the 6th floor overlooking the pool area and restaurant outdoor seating, and the music there was going most of the day and evening (not super loud, but quite audible from the room). We didn’t have a chance to try the main restaurant (Geraldine’s) but the downstairs bar (Brass Poppy) had a few good small plate items and great cocktails, excellent service. It also happened that there is a lot of high-rise construction right around the hotel - looks like it is almost done now. We didn’t hear that on our side really, but didn’t make for great pedestrian conditions.

Modern hotel with friendly and efficient staff. The rooms were very pleasant with good shower and bed. Meeting space was also above average in design and service. Did not try the restaurant (Geraldine). Our group of 125 enjoyed the location. Recommended
