Named for a beloved local guinea fowl as well as
Townes Van Zandt’s dog, Geraldine’s features some
of Austin’s favorite homegrown live acts seven days a
week. It’s a space where guests can experience live
music in a natural way, as if they were kicking back in
their living room, albeit a very stylish one with an inhouse stage and killer views of the city’s skyline.
Beyond the music, Geraldine’s has fast become
Austin’s hottest dinner reservation thanks to Uchi
veteran Chef Frank Mnuk. Nostalgic Southern-inspired
fare gets a modern Asian kick with innovative dishes
like the fork-tender barbecued short ribs topped
with pickled carrots and crispy furikake, or the smoky
yellowtail taco served in a taro root “tortilla” shell. Head
bartender Jennifer Keyser infuses humor into Austinthemed craft cocktails, such as the Willie’s Cup, a
heady mix of rye whiskey, hemp milk, and sage that is
served in a steel vessel wrapped with a red bandana
and fastened with a roach clip.
From kush krimps on cocktails to complimentary
custom bikes in the lobby for urban exploration, it’s
the details that set Hotel Van Zandt apart. Hightech amenities such as fiber Internet and Bluetooth
speakers combine with warm personal touches like
the thoughtfully curated, locally designed posters that
hang in every room
