"You’ll totally forget you’re in the heart of the raucous Rainey Street at this relaxing rooftop pool. The boutique oasis boasts a refined saltwater design, plush lounge chairs, and premium cabanas – the perfect ingredients for a summertime sojourn. Unwind poolside with your favorite cocktail or draft beer from Geraldine’s. The pool has various options, ranging from a basic day pass to the Ultimate Cabana, which includes passes for up to 30 people. Make a reservation online for the size that fits you." - Darcie Duttweiler
"I noted that Michelin awarded Michelin Keys 2024 to several Austin hotels, and the Hotel Van Zandt in downtown was included among the recipients — the Keys serve as the accommodation equivalent of Michelin’s restaurant stars, announced in Austin on September 12." - Eater Staff
"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
