    • Description:

    • The recycling of downtown historic buildings into hotels is an admirable trend, but there's also something to be said for new construction -- at least when it's done right. Opened at the very end of the last century, this property was designed to blend in architecturally with the older structures that flank it on this (relatively) quiet section of the river bend, but its clean lines are attuned to 21st-century style.

      From the lobby to the rooms, varying materials of contrasting textures and Spanish colonial accents create an atmosphere that's soothing without being bland. Of course, the property includes Westin's signature "Heavenly Beds." Perhaps in a nod to its many high-end Latin American business visitors, the hotel has a traditional Merienda Wednesday to Friday evenings, which includes Mexican hot chocolate, sweet bread, cookies, and refreshments (it's free to hotel guests). This Westin has also nicely incorporated several kid-friendly features. All rooms are nonsmoking.

      Not quite up to Westin par.

    • Nice lobby and public areas. Small pool and rooms beginning to show some wear and tear. The positives were the nice gym and the Zocca dining room which was very good. The drinks...

    The Westin Riverwalk graces this famous thoroughfare and celebrates the beauty and heritage of Texas's oldest city. Comfortable and convenient, the Alamo, La Villita, Market Square and the Convention Center are all just minutes away. Enjoy our La Vida Loca Margarita in El Rincon de Maria.Every stay begins with the taste of distinctive, dark Latin chocolate. A beautiful, copper platter with elaborate silver-plated overlays, greet guests at check-in, filled with El Rey Latin American specialty chocolates imported from Venezuela. You may also retreat to a Latin American escape: "La Merienda", Latin version of High Tea. Cinnamon-tinged roasted Mexican coffees, hot Cocoas, Aguas Frescas, and Hojorascas (Mexican cookies) are served from 3:30pm to 5:30 pm in the hotel lobby. No matter what you choose to do, you will experience the best San Antonio has to offer.
