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.

10/10- definitely will come again! Overall experience was great. The location is perfect, the hotel was intentional with every detail. The beds are great- and the pillows are perfect. The spa was just as impressive. Rebecca has by far the softest yet firmest hands and she made every minute count. Definitely recommend this hotel and spa if you’re looking to treat yourself. Well worth it.

Lovely stay Lovely stay - spacious suites with direct access from hotel to Riverwalk! The website pictures do not do this hotel justice - everything is much better and more modern but keeping in the character of San Antonio. The hotel was very busy due to some conventions and the final four basketball tournament but this didn’t compromise the stay. Great location with lots in walking distance - wouldn’t hesitate to return and would recommend.

Amazing Hotel I have to say this hotel was amazing. After staying here, every other hotel room will seem lacking. I saw the pictures before I booked but wasn’t convinced it would be as nice as it was. You basically get a small one bedroom apartment. A living room and separate bedroom with a door. This is a perfect set up for couples who are on different sleeping schedules or need to work while the other is sleeping. Each room has a TV in it that you can stream your own content to which was fantastic. Décor was so cool and modern but had a warm cozy feel. Being right on the Riverwalk was also amazing and very convenient. There is a restaurant, lobby, and second floor patio you can hang out at and watch the riverboats go by. The only thing that needs some attention is the bathroom. Perfectly fine but if you are going to bill yourself as a luxury property, then everything needs to be up to par. The curtain rod was loose and sagging a bit, the sink drain plug was cracked, and the toilet had steak marks from what I assume is iron in the water. Small things but they should addressed.
