RIVER WALK. The world-famous River Walk is one of the top visitor destinations in Texas and a cornerstone of our robust meetings industry. Also known as the “world’s largest hotel lobby,” it’s the perfect place for networking, nightlife and entertainment.

WALKABILITY. San Antonio’s compact downtown meeting package provides great savings on transportation with hotels, restaurants and attractions located conveniently within walking distance via street level or the River Walk. River taxis and trolley cars are fun, unique options for those who’d rather ride than walk. And “four ride for the price of one” taxi fares save attendees even more.

CULTURE. A culture with roots in Mexico, Germany and the Old West combine to provide an “only in San Antonio” experience. Unique museums feature special collections, such as Latin American Art and Western Art, while the Southtown area near downtown is home to a thriving arts community. Historical sites such as The Alamo and The Mission Trail (the largest concentration of missions in North America) entice history buffs, as does King William, the state's first historic district. This 25-block neighborhood near downtown, settled by prominent German merchants in the late 1800s, was the city’s most elegant residential area – many of the homes are featured on the area’s popular self-guided walking tour.

NIGHTLIFE. Ready to hit the town after dark? Quiet wine bars, well-known watering holes, lively dance halls and a dueling piano sing-along are just some of the many popular stops available on the River Walk or within a short walk of downtown hotels. Other hot spots like Southtown and points north are easily accessible by taxi.
