Hotel Van Zandt captures the essence of Austin, blending Texas history and individuality to celebrate the legacy of creative pioneers. Located in downtown Austin in the Rainey Street Historic District, just off the shores of Lady Bird Lake, Hotel Van Zandt’s central location makes it easy to explore the “Live Music Capital of the World.” Inside, Hotel Van Zandt’s rich, eclectic interior design draws inspiration from the original bungalow homes that once lined Rainey
Street, and feature locally sourced vintage furniture, tooled leather, and custom hand-
tufted carpets sourced from Nepal. As artists of hospitality, the team at Hotel Van Zandt fosters creative experiences from a local’s point of view, providing detail-oriented, dedicated support for all types of stays, meetings, and special events.
