Downtown San Antonio: Skyscrapers and the Alamo near the Original Riverwalk

In the late 1920s, architect Robert H. H. Hugman designed an urban park around the San Antonio River. He envisioned a space that would be the American version of Venice, where people could shop and dine along the waterfront. The original section, a 2.5-mile riverwalk running through downtown, was completed in 1941. It’s been a vital artery in the heart of San Antonio ever since; so vital, in fact, that the city added two extensions in the 2000s—Museum Reach and Mission Reach—that elongated the riverwalk to 15 miles total.

Located one story below street level, the downtown section of the riverwalk bustles day and night. Stone pathways on either side of the river wind past waterfalls and public art installations on their way to restaurants, boutiques, and lively cantinas that stay open well into the night. Downtown San Antonio is also where you’ll find the Alamo. The historic mission-turned-fortress is one of the most visited tourist sites in the state, thanks to the 1836 battle that made it a symbol of Texas independence. Admission is free for all ages.

Everything was perfect from the moment we stepped onto the grounds all the way to check out. The customer service was amazing and the hotel was well maintained. The room itself was amazing with the river view. The hotel did seem humid in certain areas but hey it's Texas. I would definitely come back again!

The hotel was beautiful and accommodating. The receptionist was so respectful. She even helped to take a picture of myself and my husband. I also love the view from my room. Such a wonderful site of the city and the riverwalk. I would love to lodge there again.

Great Dear Hotel Contessa Management, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional experience my wife and I had during our recent stay at your hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by your valet staff, who welcomed us with a smile and set the tone for a wonderful visit. A special thank you to Abbas at the front desk, who was incredibly courteous and took the time to thoroughly explain all the hotel amenities to us. When he inquired about the occasion for our visit, I mentioned that we were celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary. To our surprise and delight, we received a bottle of champagne in our room with two glasses—a truly thoughtful gesture that made our stay even more special. Please extend our gratitude to Mr. Abbas for his outstanding hospitality. We absolutely fell in love with the hotel—the breathtaking view, the immaculate and beautifully designed room, and the distinctive aroma of ash & oak that filled the air wherever we walked. We were so captivated by the scent that we purchased scented candles from the spa, thanks to Abbas’ helpful recommendation. San Antonio has always been a favorite destination for us, and I frequently visit for business. However, after this incredible experience, we have found our go-to getaway at Hotel Contessa. We are already looking forward to our next stay. Lastly, the mariachi performance on Friday was a delightful touch that added to the charm of the hotel atmosphere. Every detail of our visit made this anniversary truly memorable, and we appreciate the dedication of your staff in creating such a welcoming and elegant experience. Thank you again for everything. We can’t wait to return! Warm regards,

Fun times I’m definitely going back and spending a few more days in the hotel. I was very satisfied with the location of the hotel on the river walk, we were just minutes away from a lot of food and fun. Plus there was live music along the river walk and at the hotel at night.
