Scroll through our list of the best romantic hotels in San Antonio, and start planning your visit and make some magical memories.

For an urban bolthole

Suite

  • Hotel Contessa is smart, sexy and stylish. One of the most romantic riverside hotels in San Antonio, the classy rooms afford gorgeous views of either the city skyline or the riverwalk, and the walls are adorned with Modernist art. Plus there's al fresco dining, a rooftop pool and a pampering spa.

For a relaxing pool

Omni La Mansion del Rio

  • Omni La Mansion del Rio has a winning formula for romance: classic, stylish rooms with sink-into beds, and balconies, all set within a 19th century Spanish villa overlooking the Riverwalk. Add to that the gorgeous pool, superb restaurant, world-class spa and movie nights, and you've got one of the most romantic hotels in San Antonio.
  • Set above the rolling landscape of San Antonio’s Hill Country, Signia by Hilton La Cantera Resort & Spa boasts no fewer than four pools, plus al fresco couples' spa treatments and romantic fireside dining. There's even an adults-only floor with its own entrance, champagne on arrival, and a peaceful lounge with panoramic views. 

For a chic B&B

Noble Inns

  • For something truly beautiful that doesn't break the bank, Noble Inns is the one to book. The three separate houses are elegant and traditional (the oldest dates back to 1857). Rooms come with polished hardwood floors topped with lovely rugs, antiques, fireplaces, four-posters and terraces in a leafy garden overlooking the river. Intimate, warm and refined, and one of the most value-chic romantic hotels in San Antonio.
  • Inn on the Riverwalk specialises in lazy mornings, long afternoons and cosy evenings. A 100-year-old, laid-back B&B with a traditional-yet-chic decor, painted in pastel sky-blue; each room comes with a spa bath, and you can borrow charming vintage bikes from the hotel. The bridal suite is perfect for honeymoons.

For a spa break

Eilan Hotel & Spa

  • Eilan Hotel & Spa is a luxurious hotel, away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Couples' spa and massage services, indoor and outdoor pools, plush rooms and intimate dining experiences create the perfect getaway made for two.
  • Another great choice for a romantic spa break is the Mokara Hotel & Spa. The spa itself spans over 17,000 square feet, and all the elegant, cream-white rooms come with oversized or spa baths. Then there's the rooftop cafe, restaurant, oyster bar and secluded, serene rooftop pool.
