Some people thought a hotel on Rainey Street meant that Rainey had officially sold out, but the team at Hotel Van Zandt did their best to honor the Rainey neighborhood. For example, they named their restaurant Geraldine’s, after the guineafowl who used to run around Rainey Street for many years (RIP). The hotel fits right in on Rainey, with its not-cheesy music-themed decor and chill atmosphere. The food here is far fancier than what you’ll get at nearby food trucks, so come when you’re ready for a nice meal. The menu is Southern-ish, which means dishes like shrimp hushpuppies and barbecued short rib. There’s live music every night, too, so stick around a little later for what’s usually a pretty solid show.
