Downtown Austin Hotel Van Zandt Opens New Cocktail Bar Brass Poppy | Eater Austin
"Opened in 2015 with on-site dining including Geraldine’s and cafe 605 under the Kimpton Hotels umbrella, the property has experienced recent ownership and partnership changes — it was acquired by Host Hotels & Resorts in 2022, and Sage Hospitality became a partner in 2023. The original architecture/interior design firm Markzeff returned to design a refreshed lobby as part of renovations, introducing mixed‑metal details, jewel-colored finishes, vintage furniture and a midcentury-inspired aesthetic while adding a new lobby bar and updated public spaces." - Nadia Chaudhury
