For the Hotel Van Zandt in Austin, Texas, designer Mark Zeff was tapped to create an eclectic homage to the self-proclaimed “Live Music Capitol of the World.” Collections of classic vinyl, vintage radios, and posters from local clubs play out the soulful themes. The hotel was named after the late Townes Van Zandt, himself a folk rock artist, whose last album, No Deeper Blue, inspired the moody hues that punctuate the color scheme.

Café 605’s communal table is topped in ebonized walnut, paired with saloon-like, tufted leather stools. Pendants are classic industrial, while wall fixtures are more mod. A tile floor acts like an area rug to tie the room together.
