Where is the Best Boutique Hotel in San Antonio, Texas?
This one is a gem if you want to stay away from the big box cookie cutter rooms. I liked the location (across from the Court House) on the quiet end of the river. Loved my morning walks along the river towards the missions.The hotel is small and unpretentious but you get the authentic Texas experience…..murals painted by local artists. Legend has it that Santa Anna’s army camped on this site before the Battle for the Alamo.The recently refurbished rooms are five star as is the service. The pool area is a sanctuary. I love visiting san Antonio and staying at this hotel. I always come home recharged!Pros + Best value for moneyCons – Restaurant not open yet
This was my first family stay at Westin La Cantera. The hotel is very kid friendly, There are activities everyday designed just for the children.

My wife was keen to stay at the historic Menger Hotel, so we did. What a lovely place and great location, next door to both the Alamo and Rivercenter Mall and Riverwalk. A mixture of old world charm and modern features. Wonderful paintings and other historical exhibits. Lovely courtyard garden. Elegant dining room. Our room overlooked the Alamo Plaza.

The high-speed internet connection in the room was free and fast.If you are going for the history, you may love this hotel. I business travel a lot (4-5 days at a time) and mostly by myself. Because of the small corridors and rooms and crampted and antiquated bathrooms, I would not stay here. I prefer the Rivercenter Marriott wh
I’m the girl who likes to go to restaurants that aren’t chains, or there’s only one in / around the big city. However, when my girls and I decided to check out The Melting Pot, I was as surprised as any that a chain restaurant really stood out among its competitors. If you haven’t been (I’ve only been to Bedford location), the decor is top of the line exquisite. I kept my expectations low on the staff, since it was a new location, you never know what you’re going to get. Our waiter was not only friendly and knowledgeable, but we never wanted for a drink, because he left us topped off. We never had to ask him for anything during our dinner, because he made sure we had it before leaving the table to let us enjoy what was one of the most fabulous meals I’ve ever eaten. From the fondue, to the breads, and the lobster to the wine selection, I’m happy to report that not only would I go again, I will recommend it to all of my friends and family, and I’m considering hosting a small work functi
