All About San Antonio & Hotel Highlights

Downtown River Walk Highlights
Millions of people visit the River Walk each year to enjoy this unusual urban sanctuary that winds along the San Antonio River in central San Antonio, one story below the bustling street level. The San Antonio River Walk evokes the renowned spaces of Europe.

What started as the vision of a young architect in 1929 has grown, over the decades, into one of the world's most distinctive places. The River Walk has since grown to a stunning 8 miles and will stretch to 15 miles by 2013. Each part offers a unique look and feel. The entire River Walk is dog friendly and some restaurants are too. You can explore the River Walk on foot, on a bicycle, or by river boat.
