Hotel Valencia Riverwalk
Spanish Colonial meets modern Mediterranean. Dark wood credenzas, leather club chairs, plantation shutters. Polished but not stuffy — more old-world sophistication than flashy resort.
Book the Premium River View Balcony on the third floor for the best sit-out balcony with direct river views — it's a step up from the Juliet Balcony rooms on the fourth floor
Why It Matters
Ranked #1 hotel in San Antonio and #7 in Texas in the 2024 Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards. Holds the AAA Four Diamond designation and has appeared on Travel + Leisure's 500 World's Best Hotels list. Naranja Tequila & Mezcal Bar bills itself as the only tequila bar on the River Walk, and the hotel is one of the few independent boutique options in a part of downtown otherwise dominated by big chains.
A 213-room Spanish Colonial-designed boutique hotel sitting right on the San Antonio River Walk, with interiors by Rottet Studios and two of the more distinctive dining concepts on the strip. It's the kind of place where the building itself — warm mustard and paprika tones, red-tile roofing, Mediterranean archways — tells you more about San Antonio than any chain hotel ever could. Rooms run 350 to 1,250 square feet depending on category, most with balconies overlooking either the river or a fire-lit courtyard.

On-site 24-hour fitness center with multigym, ellipticals, treadmills, free weights, yoga mats and balls, and weight training balls. Open around the clock so early risers and late workers can both get a session in.
San Antonio's year-round warm climate makes it a solid golf destination. The hotel points guests to the Alamo City Golf Trail, including Olmos Basin Golf Course, Brackenridge Park, Willow Springs, The Quarry, and San Pedro Golf Course — all a short drive away.
7,000 sq ft of flexible event space including an outdoor terrace overlooking the River Walk. Suitable for corporate meetings, conferences, weddings, and social gatherings with full catering and audiovisual services available.
The River Walk Discovery Package includes two complimentary riverboat tickets — otherwise, boat tours on the River Walk depart near the hotel and run regular narrated routes through the downtown stretch.
The hotel sits directly on the River Walk, making the famed riverside promenade an instant outdoor gym. It's an ideal morning run or evening stroll — the path stretches for miles through the heart of the city.
