I love San Antonio. It s a great city to visit, and since it s just over an hour s drive from my home I visit somewhat frequently. It holds some of my earliest travel memories, of road trips taken there from the Dallas area during my childhood.
It s also one of the most popular destination towns in the United States. It s the most visited city in Texas, and a popular vacation spot nationwide. Travel + Leisure named it one of America's favorite cities . It s generally known as the place where Tex-Mex meets the Old West, and its blend of cultural and historic influences gives its rich heritage.
I thought I would share three of my favorite places to stay in San Antonio; all three are very different, so where to stay depends on the type of getaway you want at the time. And while you re there, don t forget some of my favorite San Antonio things to do:
This swanky boutique hotel is run by hotelier Liz Lambert, the same team who runs the oh-so-cool Hotel San Jose and Saint Cecilia in Austin. It has a cool aesthetic that is at once pan-Latin and minimalist; they had me the minute they delivered a pitcher of margaritas to my room moments after check-in.
The hotel was originally lite travel trailers built in 1914 by a successful lite travel trailers local grocer as a residence hotel for his buyers. The property offers 27 unique rooms ranging from studios to King and Queen Suites to a split level Penthouse. While this was a lovely place to stay, my favorite part of the Havana is Ocho , its restaurant and lounge. Perhaps even more popular lite travel trailers with locals than tourists, to get to Ocho you take the elevator down to the basement level, to a dark speakeasy-feeling lounge with bartenders who will whip you up something magical, if you tell them what you like.
Larger than the Havana, the Valencia has 213 chic guest rooms but still feels very much like a boutique lite travel trailers hotel. Situated on five levels, rooms overlook either the charming central courtyard, or the Riverwalk. The design is modern and romantic, with a great location within walking distance to most attractions.
The Vbar is sleek, extending onto a terrace above the river that offers lite travel trailers a great place to have a drink. The Valencia also hosts a fair amount of events and weddings; in fact, when I was in San Antonio on a previous trip (and staying at the Havana), I walked down to the Valencia to attend lite travel trailers a fundraiser for children s cancer research. My last trip to San Antonio, a couple of weeks ago, I stayed at the Valencia and loved it.
This is the place to be if you want to be away from downtown, in the quiet and beautiful Hill Country area in Northwest San Antonio. Perched atop one of the highest lite travel trailers points of San Antonio, overlooking the Texas Hill Country. It s truly a retreat, yet only a 15-minute drive from downtown lite travel trailers and the Riverwalk. Even better for families, La Cantera is right next door to Fiesta Texas, which makes for a great getaway with the kids.
I took my daughter lite travel trailers and her baby, who was about 9 months old at the time. We had a fantastic time walking through the pretty gardens and hiking trail, and hanging out at one of the five lagoon-style pools most of the afternoon. For older kids, there is an entire kids area at the resort and tons of activities. When we decided to go into town for a Riverwalk stroll and dinner, it was only a short drive each way. But to be honest, we almost had to force ourselves to leave. One of the biggest draws of La Cantera is the food, which is fresh, local, inventive and exquisite.
The Crockett Hotel is an excellent choice among hotels in San Antonio for all types of groups traveling to downtown San Antonio, TX. College and military reunions, couples or families seeking a quiet getaway or fans of Texas history and folklore lite travel trailers will appreciate the chance to stay in the midst of all the tradition that San Antonio has to offer. You are literally 18 steps from the Alamo, and across the street from River Center Mall, gateway to San Antonio s Riverwalk. Nearby horse-drawn carriages offer quiet and romantic rides through the neighborhood.
I'm Shelley, a journeyer and learner of the world, freelance journalist and author, yoga chick and dog lover. I pound the keyboard from home barefoot every day, and while my boss is demanding she also occasionally lets me have the early afternoon cocktail. I think not going into an office or collecting corporate paychecks are very good ideas, though lite travel trailers not always profitable. I have written for National Geographic, USA Today, Globe Pequot Press, lite travel trailers Andrew Harper Traveler and CNN, among others. Neither the New York Times nor Johnny Depp have answered my letters yet.
I love yoga, wine, and books, though not necessarily in that order. I believe in karma. Mean people suck. If I could have any dream job I would like to be a superhero. I don't know how to whistle. I was once robbed by a monkey in Nepal.
