Downtown San Antonio: Skyscrapers and the Alamo near the Original Riverwalk

In the late 1920s, architect Robert H. H. Hugman designed an urban park around the San Antonio River. He envisioned a space that would be the American version of Venice, where people could shop and dine along the waterfront. The original section, a 2.5-mile riverwalk running through downtown, was completed in 1941. It’s been a vital artery in the heart of San Antonio ever since; so vital, in fact, that the city added two extensions in the 2000s—Museum Reach and Mission Reach—that elongated the riverwalk to 15 miles total.

Located one story below street level, the downtown section of the riverwalk bustles day and night. Stone pathways on either side of the river wind past waterfalls and public art installations on their way to restaurants, boutiques, and lively cantinas that stay open well into the night. Downtown San Antonio is also where you’ll find the Alamo. The historic mission-turned-fortress is one of the most visited tourist sites in the state, thanks to the 1836 battle that made it a symbol of Texas independence. Admission is free for all ages.

The hotel was beautiful and accommodating. The receptionist was so respectful. She even helped to take a picture of myself and my husband. I also love the view from my room. Such a wonderful site of the city and the riverwalk. I would love to lodge there again.

Semana Santa en San Antonio The hotel has a very beautiful location The staff is very attentive to any questions or concerns. Our experience was very positive and we would definitely return. Something we look for in a hotel is that its location allows us to visit emblematic places without having to use the car, as was the case with The Alamo.

Fun at the Briscoe Museum Our group of a few dozen organized a collective trip to San Antonio to visit the Briscoe Western Art Museum. The folks at the Briscoe recommended we stay at the Contessa, and we're so glad they did! Victoria was a huge help in setting things up - a group of our size needed a bit of extra attention, so it was good to have a staff member dedicated to making things perfect. Things went over very smoothly once we arrived. Everyone had a lovely experience! San Antonio was such a delight.

Great stay!!! On the riverwalk… press R for riverwalk in the elevator and you are standing on the water. Amazing location. The staff was so helpful. Ask Eddie, Nadine or AJ for anything, cab, uber, luggage and they are THERE! The best. The restaurant and bar menu was delicious. Huge portions. Definitely choosing this hotel when we are back in town. Every room is a suite and excellent in design. You want to stay here!!
