San Antonio · Where to stay

A 19th-century brewhouse turned hotel at the Pearl, with the ironwork left in place. One of the best hotels in Texas.

Quiet luxury right on the River Walk with a rooftop pool. The grown-up downtown choice.

A 1909 landmark with a lobby full of antiques, on Travis Park a block off the river.

Ten rooms in a 1914 Mediterranean-Revival building on the quiet north stretch of the river, with Ocho downstairs.

Balconies over the water in the middle of everything, at a fair price midweek.
