Historic Texas landmark with rooftop pool on San Antonio's River Walk
Equal effort was made maintaining the historical character of this 1920s-era 24-story skyscraper, formerly the Alamo Bank, and upgrading the amenities to include key luxuries, in keeping with the River Walk-adjacent glamour. Being just four blocks from San Antonio's Market Square and The Alamo makes tapping into the old-school charm easy -- as easy as it is to shop one's heart out at the boutiques on the glamorous River Walk or at the nearby River Center Mall.
Highlights
  • Right on the River Walk and in the heart of the theater district, across the street from the Aztec Theater
  • Rooftop pool with two hot tubs
  • Free hot Quikstart Breakfast and Kickback early-evening snacks, with hot food and cold beverages
Rooms

Many of the Drury Plaza Hotel's 380 rooms offer a place to watch the water lazily winding along the glitzy River Walk. If that ever loses its charm, every room has its own flat panel LCD TV, with HBO and a wide array of cable channels. Furnishings are traditional, with dark wood, subtle floral prints, and ample storage. Hair dryers, irons and ironing boards also come standard.

Features

The homey steakhouse chain, Texas Land and Cattle, is located on the property, and many more restaurants are just steps away. Theaters, including the Majestic, Empire, and Aztec are very close by. The palatial lobby features 50-foot ceilings, travertine flooring and stained glass windows.

Quick trip into and out of San Antonio

The hotel is very near the RiverWalk and in close proximity to the Convention Center. I was only in town for 23 hours arriving late on a thursday and out again by 6pm on friday, so my stay was short. The Drury has the elegance of the grand hotels from the 20's and 30's. I found the room spacious and well maintained. I like to visit older establishments because of their character and this hotel, I found to be exceptional.

Clean and classic

Unique older bank building converted to a hotel with a european feel, terrazo/marble floors, lots of wood trim, comfortable rooms and and can take the elevator to the ground floor and exit directly onto the beautiful river walk. Good free breakfast and dinner, nice place and comfortable. Pleasant staff, beautiful lobby.

The room was clean and comfortable and the location was great. Breakfast was also great! Minor concerns include: No room service, and the on-site pantry / store was not stocked. They did not sell toothpaste which caused me to venture out during late evening hours in an unfamiliar area. Thanks for the opportunity to comment.

If you like historical and great food.....

This hotel has balanced modernizing a historical hotel with keeping the original charm! The rooms are very comfortable (AND HAVE CEILING FANS!!) and modern, while the hallways and lobby have maintained the lovely historic feel. The food during the evening social is wonderfu. TONS of food and this could easily be your evening meal unless you want to take advantage of the many riverwalk eateries. Very comfortable, very clean, great valet parking staff. Not right on the river but very very close. Will stay there again.

The hotel is right on the riverwalk. Great rooftop pool and hottub. Free afternoon drinks and snacks, and a hot breakfast is included too. Our room was big and comfortable. Beds are comfortable too.

Loved it

My new favorite hotel in San Antonio. We have been to San Antonio many times and most often have our way paid to the fancy hotels. This time I paid my own way, but have never enjoyed the visit more. Not only was the [...] rate better than the "conference rate" at other hotels, this place had everything included, e.g. breakfast, "kick-back" two hours in the evening (with drinks and nearly dinner), free internet, long-distance. This was a former bank (with all that glory, gold, and grandeur). It has direct access to the river walk (which I love). The exercise room was great for me and the pool and two spas on the top floor offer wonderful views of the city. The staff was wonderful. Clean. Welcoming. My new favorite in San Antonio.

friendly staff

Good location right on the river walk. A few short blocks from the convention center. I appreciated the hot breakfast and afternoon snack. The staff was extraordinarily friendly. Fitness room is on the 22nd floor with a great view of the city when you are on the treadmill.
