InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, has opened the InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk.
The 390-room hotel—which features more than 18,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, four new restaurants and bars and Les Clefs d’Or concierge service—is located one mile from the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center and steps away from the city’s famed River Walk. The 21-story hotel is within walking distance of many of the city’s attractions, including The Alamo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as The Pearl and La Villita Historic Village. The hotel also provides guests with direct access to a water taxi landing zone.
“The InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk embodies the vibrant culture and rich heritage of San Antonio,” said Stefan Gruvberger, GM. “Whether you’re a local seeking a cultivated retreat or a visitor eager to explore our city’s charms, the hotel’s luxury accommodations and amenities offer something for everyone.”
Owned by Trailbreak Partners in conjunction with Scarlett Hotel Group, the hotel is equipped with a rooftop pool, 24-hour in-room dining, on-site valet, a dedicated house car, a 24-hour fitness center and a Club InterContinental Lounge.
Designed by Leo A Daly, the overall aesthetic blends mid-century architecture and modern finishes with subtle nods to the organic textures and materials of San Antonio. Plush velvet furniture in various pops of color offset the property’s neutral color palette, as well as rich finishes crafted from brass, marble, dark wood, cognac leather and glass. Situated behind the arrivals desk is an abstract contemporary work of Joan Crawford, an homage to her 1954 American Western film “Johnny Guitar.” The concierge gallery is a curated showcase of local products, artisans and activities.
