 Historic Hotel Downtown |
205 East Houston (at St. Mary's St) San Antonio, TX 78205 United States +1 210 227 3241 http://www.gunterhotel.com/ |
This historic hotel is located downtown, directly across from the restored Majestic Theatre, which is home to the San Antonio Symphony. There isn't a more beautiful or more regal hotel lobby in all the city. If you select another hotel to stay in, at the very least drop in to see the finely detailed carved mahogany columns, the luxurious carpets and the antique light fixtures in the lobby. The guest rooms are just as lovely, although they vary a bit in size—a charming illustration of the hotel's age. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 The Essence of San Antonio |
454 Losoya (runs through downtown) San Antonio, TX 78205 United States +1 210 227 4262 http://thesanantonioriverwalk.com |
When you think of San Antonio, two things automatically come to mind: the Alamo and the River Walk. The River Walk was conceived in 1929. Downtown had serious flood problems, and Robert Hugman suggested that the city turn the San Antonio River into an asset rather than a hindrance. Hugman's brainchild has since become the essence of the city. The city's most popular attraction, it is often crowded and filled with children, party goers, tourists and locals. In the heart of the River Walk is an area filled with restaurants, shops and nightclubs, punctuated by fountains and towering Cypress trees. The River Walk is particularly crazy during Fiesta.

 Beautiful shopping mall on the River Walk |
849 East Commerce St (between Bowie and Alamo streets) San Antonio, TX 78205 United States +1 210 225 0000 http://www.shoprivercenter.com/ |
As far as shopping malls go, this one is beautiful. Set right on the River Walk and attached to the Marriott River Center hotel, this mall is a dining, shopping and entertainment mecca. Although anchored by Foley's, Dillard's and an AMC movie theater, the mall offers scores of specialty shops and gift stores, as well as one of the largest parking garages downtown. Musical groups and dance troupes perform nightly during the summer months at the lagoon in the middle of the mall. Visitors can also board barges for tours of the River Walk from the lower level.

Teaching facility and center for local artisans |
300 Augusta St (At Navarro) San Antonio, TX 78205 United States +1 210 224 1848 http://www.swschool.org/ |
Originally home to the Ursuline Academy School for Girls in the 19th century, this historic property was purchased in 1965 by the San Antonio Conservation Society. The Society feared demolition and decided to save the 10 acres. With reflections of French design, the conglomeration of small buildings is beautiful, especially the small chapel adorned with amazing stained glass. Today the center is where creative adult and child artisans of all skill levels learn and teach. With expert instructors, this is the place to learn traditional and contemporary arts and crafts. Even if you are not interested in taking a class, stroll through the grounds and visit the art gallery, the chapel and the Copper Kitchen Restaurant. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Landmark Hotel |
300 East Travis St San Antonio, TX 78205 United States +1 210 227 4392 http://www.wyndham.com/hotels/... |
There is no doubt that the St. Anthony is one of the classiest, most elegant hotels around. Since 1909, this four-star hotel has been a home away from home for thousands of visitors as well as a few celebrities, including John Wayne. It's perfectly situated downtown, as it is far enough away from the throngs for you to spend your wedding night here, but close enough to host a festive weekend getaway. The River Walk, the Alamo and the Municipal Auditorium are all within walking distance, as are many shops and restaurants that add to the charm of this downtown jewel. There are 22,200 square feet of meeting space here, including a 3,600 square-foot ballroom, a 350-450 person junior ballroom and 20 meeting rooms. Guest rooms include hairdryer, coffeepot, ironing board and iron, data port and voicemail. The outdoor pool is heated and Playstations are also available. Review © 2007, Wcities |
