Hotel Van Zandt was an exceptional choice for my client's tech team conference (125 people), and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish. From an event management perspective (we’re TeamOut—specialists in planning and executing company offsites), the partnership with this hotel was truly best-in-class.
Nicholas, our Event Manager, and Asa, the Banquet Manager, were absolute standouts: thoughtful, responsive, and deeply collaborative. They understood the needs of a fast-moving tech team and executed every detail with care and professionalism. It made planning seamless and on-site execution feel effortless, which is the gold standard for any event team.
The property itself is stunning. Every space feels intentional, beautifully designed with a warm, modern ambiance that works equally well for focused meetings, social moments, and evening events. The meeting and event spaces are flexible, polished, and thoughtfully laid out, creating a great flow throughout the conference.
Location-wise, Hotel Van Zandt is unbeatable. Being right in the heart of Austin, with easy walkability to incredible neighborhoods and dining options, made it perfect for both large group dinners and smaller, more intimate team outings. Our client loved having so many options just steps away.
We work with hotels all over the world, and Hotel Van Zandt truly stands out as a partner that gets group events. We would absolutely recommend it to any team looking for a stylish, well-located property with an outstanding staff that knows how to deliver an exceptional group experience.
