The vibrant heart of San Antonio now boasts a new luxury landmark with the opening of the InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk.
This 21-story hotel, featuring 390 elegantly appointed rooms, marks a significant addition to the city’s upscale hospitality scene.
Strategically located just a mile from the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center and steps away from the famed River Walk, the hotel offers visitors an unparalleled blend of luxury, convenience, and cultural immersion.
The InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk is designed to reflect the rich heritage and lively culture of San Antonio.
According to Stefan Gruvberger, the hotel’s General Manager, “Whether you’re a local seeking a cultivated retreat or a visitor eager to explore our city’s charms, the hotel’s luxury accommodations and amenities offer something for everyone.”
The property is owned by Trailbreak Partners and Scarlett Hotel Group, and it raises the bar for luxury with its extensive offerings, including a rooftop pool, a 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness center, and the exclusive Club InterContinental Lounge.
The hotel’s location provides easy access to some of San Antonio’s most iconic attractions, including The Alamo, The Pearl, and La Villita Historic Village. Additionally, guests can enjoy direct access to a water taxi landing zone, providing a unique and tranquil way to explore the city’s waterways.
InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk is not just about luxury lodging but also a premier destination for events and meetings. The hotel features over 18,000 square feet of versatile event space, highlighted by the 8,200-square-foot Pecan Ballroom. This space, along with 10 additional meeting rooms, is equipped with the latest audio-visual technology and offers breathtaking panoramic views of San Antonio.
The design of the InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk is another standout feature. Created by renowned design firm Leo A Daly, the hotel blends mid-century architecture with modern finishes, using materials like brass, marble, and cognac leather to craft an ambiance of timeless elegance. The lobby showcases a striking abstract artwork of Joan Crawford, paying homage to her role in the 1954 film Johnny Guitar, further connecting the hotel’s aesthetic to American cultural heritage.
Culinary experiences at the hotel are curated to delight the senses. The property offers four distinctive dining options, led by Executive Chef Andres Farias. Guests can savor farm-fresh ingredients at Cavalier, enjoy craft cocktails at Deco Bar, grab light bites and house-made pastries at Rosebelly Coffee, or indulge in creative cocktails and live music at the soon-to-open High Praise rooftop bar.
To celebrate its grand opening, the InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk is offering a special limited-time promotion until December 30, 2024, including complimentary parking and a $50 food and beverage credit per night. This offer makes it an irresistible choice for both travelers and locals looking to experience the latest in luxury hospitality.
This opening is part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ extensive 2024 development pipeline in Texas, which includes 15 new properties across eight brands. The InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk reinforces the brand’s seven-decade legacy of pioneering luxury travel in emerging destinations.
Reservations are now being accepted for stays beginning August 1, 2024. The hotel is located at 111 E. Pecan Street, positioning it as a central hub for both leisure and business travelers seeking the finest in San Antonio hospitality.
