Quick Verdict: Hotel Van Zandt vs 1 Hotel Austin

When Hotel Van Zandt wins: Choose Hotel Van Zandt if you want to be in the middle of Rainey Street’s bungalow bars, steps from Lady Bird Lake and the hike-and-bike trail, and you value a hotel with an on-site live-music restaurant and a lively rooftop pool scene.
