The Westin Riverwalk
|
Welcome to San Antonio’s Paseo del Rio, a pedestrian riverwalk of hidden gardens, shops, and sidewalk cafés one-story below downtown! Shaded by cypress and palm trees, The Westin Riverwalk graces this famous thoroughfare and celebrates the beauty and heritage of Texas’s oldest city.
Expect a warm welcome at The Westin Riverwalk, where guests are greeted with delicious dark chocolate imported from Venezuela. A beautiful, copper platter greets you at check-in, filled with El Rey Latin American specialty chocolates. Cinnamon-tinged-roasted Mexican coffees, hot cocoas, aguas frescas, and hojorascas (Mexican cookies) are served from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the hotel lobby. A Spanish classical guitarist plays Latin American ballads every Friday and Saturday.
Relaxing and convenient, the Alamo, La Villita, Market Square, and the Convention Center are all just minutes away. All guests will enjoy the soothing, comfortable rooms, most with balconies overlooking the river. Rejuvenate in the state-of-the-art WestinWORKOUT® Gym or relax with a soothing spa service. Dine at Caliza Grill, the award-winning riverside café serving a unique Southwest cuisine with influences from Mexico.
The 473 oversized guest rooms and 66 suites are all decorated in a style reminiscent of historic Texas. Take in the beautiful river and city views, and relax in the signature Heavenly Bed®. The spacious marble bathrooms feature the Heavenly Bath® and the junior suites have separate showers and soaking tubs for ultimate relaxation.
