El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel

The hotel is located on the newest section of the historic San Antonio River, called Museum Reach. This is a beautiful, tranquil river setting that is lined with attractive walkways. Guests may board river taxis to take them to Pearl Brewery which is a newly developed tourist attraction complete with quaint restaurants, a culinary school and a Farmer's Market. Guests may also float to the main channel of the Riverwalk where one will find an array of restaurants and nightlife. San Antonio International Airport is only 15-20 minutes drive from the hotel.||When entering the lobby of this city hotel, it is like walking into a tropical beach resort. Everywhere guests look there are splashes of brilliant colour, Mexican artefacts, lush tropical plants, touches of bamboo and attractive verandas overlooking the beautiful San Antonio Riverwalk. The hotel made its debut in San Antonio in 1962 and was the first hotel built on the Riverwalk. A million-dollar renovation in 2007 restored this grand hotel, which has housed presidents, movie stars and well-known entertainers throughout the years. The air-conditioned hotel has 308 guest rooms, a 24-hour reception desk, 24-hour check-out service, a hotel safe, currency exchange, cloakroom and wireless Internet access. There is a restaurant, bar and a cafe on the premises. Lift access takes guests to the upper floors. They can also take advantage of the room service, laundry service and on-site parking facilities.
