If you’re exploring Texas, I truly believe you need to spend some time in San Antonio. It's a city full of history, culture, and unforgettable food. When I stayed there, I discovered that these hotels & inns in San Antonio didn’t just offer comfort. They had character, charm, and amazing locations near the River Walk, historic missions, and more. You’ll feel it the moment you check in.

Highlights:

  • I stayed in a charming inn along the River Walk, where the patio had just the right mix of local flair and relaxation. You’ll love sipping your morning coffee by the water.
  • One of my favorite stays was at a luxury hotel near the Alamo. The rooftop pool and historic architecture made it feel both indulgent and rooted in the city’s past. You should treat yourself to that kind of experience.
  • If you’re into cool neighborhoods like I am, book a boutique stay in Southtown or the King William Historic District. I wandered from art galleries to cozy cafés—it was the perfect way to explore.
  • When I traveled with family, I picked a hotel with spacious suites and fun amenities for the kids. Everyone had room to unwind, and I think you’ll appreciate how easy it makes your trip.
  • And for a romantic escape? I once stayed in a hacienda-style inn with candlelit courtyards and Spanish tile everywhere. It felt like our own private getaway—you’ll fall for it, I promise.
