History
Hotel ZaZa and Gables Residential announced a tower at West Fourth and Guadalupe in 2012, on the lot where The Ginger Man had stood. The site sat quiet for nearly two years. Construction started in September 2016, and Benji Homsey, then president of Hotel ZaZa, said bricks saved from the bar would go back into the building. Ziegler Cooper Architects designed the 24-story Gables Republic Square tower. The hotel opened on September 10, 2019, with 159 rooms on floors eight through twelve, the pool on the seventh floor, and interiors by Design Duncan Miller Ullman. Perfect Strangers opened on the ground floor. Group Therapy and a live room called Stage Fright sat by the pool. The address is 400 Lavaca Street, across from Republic Square Park. This is the Austin house.
