Guide Review - La Mansion Del Rio

La Mansion Del Rio, which is housed in one of San Antonio's oldest buildings, has become one of Texas' most luxurious hotels. Located along the famed Riverwalk, the building was originally constructed in 1852. Over 100 years later, the historic building underwent a major renovation and reopened as a hotel in 1968.

Modern-day visitors to the Alamo City will appreciate the hotel's historical status, as well as the elegant and romantic Riverwalk setting. The onsite restaurant, Las Canarias, is known as one of San Antonio's finest and most restaurant. Covering three levels overlooking the Riverwalk, Las Canarias is renown for its fine entrees and elegant charm.

Just across the Riverwalk, an easy stroll on the footbridge crossing the San Antonio river, is the Watermark Spa, which offers a wide variety of spa treatments. Additionally, families traveling with kids can expect plenty of kid friendly amenities, including a 'suitcase full of games' and a complimentary gift bag upon check-in.

Essentially, the La Mansion embodies San Antonio, with Old World Charm seemlessly blended with modern amenities, making it a wonderful choice for leisure and business travelers alike.
