Live Music Luxury in the Heart of Austin

Modern and effortlessly cool, Hotel Van Zandt is a boutique hotel tucked into Austin's vibrant Rainey Street Historic District. With upscale touches like a rooftop pool, craft cocktails, and an onsite venue for live music, this hotel blends luxury with Austin’s laid-back, music-loving vibe. Just steps from the action and less than a mile from the buzz of 6th Street, it's a prime spot for anyone coming to town to catch a show.
Check-in begins at 16:00 and check-out is by 11:00.

Why Concert-goers love it

You're only a short walk or quick rideshare from some of Austin’s top music venues, including the Moody Amphitheater and the Frank Erwin Center. After the show, retreat to soundproofed rooms with plush beds and blackout curtains—perfect for a slow morning after a late night. The rooftop pool and bar offer a stylish spot to keep the party going, or just relax with skyline views. Bonus: free bike rentals make it easy to explore the city or get to nearby gigs without worrying about parking.

• Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list concert
• Couples turning a show into a romantic weekend
• Fans wanting a quieter, stylish recovery space
• Budget-conscious travelers who still want luxury and location (watch for deals!)

Food and Drink Options

Geraldine’s, the hotel’s onsite restaurant, serves up locally-sourced modern American fare alongside live music performances.
