Looking for the newest hotels in San Antonio? From Kimpton and InterContinental to the renovated Plaza and the upcoming Monarch, here’s your updated 2025 guide to San Antonio’s newest and most luxurious stays.
This beautiful hotel, which made its Alamo City debut in 2024, is the InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk. Bringing a fresh dose of luxury to San Antonio’s River Walk and just minutes from the Henry B. González Convention Center and the city’s top dining and nightlife, it’s an ideal stay for both business and leisure travelers.
You can choose from stylish guest rooms or expansive suites with full kitchens and dining areas, and enjoy amenities like a year-round heated rooftop pool, in-room spa services, and a fully equipped fitness center.
Food lovers will be spoiled for choice with four on-site dining destinations:
Cavalier, the American brasserie,
the lively Deco Bar,
Rosebelly Coffee for your morning fix, and
High Praise, a rooftop bar with stunning city views.
Welcome to Kimpton Santo Hotel. Once a 19th-century schoolhouse, we've kept the historic charm and blended it with modern elegance throughout the hotel, including adding the tallest open-air rooftop in downtown San Antonio. Now open.
Part of the hotel occupies a renovated 19th-century schoolhouse, where historic suites showcase exposed limestone walls, freestanding tubs, and private balconies shaded by centuries-old oak trees.
At street level, Dean’s Steak & Seafood sets the scene for an elegant night out with prime steaks, fresh Gulf catches, and timeless cocktails. The new guestroom tower contrasts beautifully with its historic counterpart, featuring Bauhaus-inspired design and amenities like a rooftop pool, fitness center, and in-room coffee service.
The crown jewel, however, is Tenfold, the hotel’s rooftop bar. Ten stories above the River Walk, guests can sip creative cocktails while soaking in skyline views and sampling the 10x Tour prix fixe menu, a culinary journey through ten global cuisines.
The Plaza San Antonio Hotel and Spa may not be a completely brand-new build, but after a stunning 2024 renovation, it feels like a fresh discovery.
Three preserved 19th-century buildings, all listed on the National Register of Historic Places, now anchor this 253-room property, which was honored with Marriott’s 2024 Renovation Excellence Award.
You can unwind beneath the hotel’s shaded gardens at Anaqua, a lush bar serving tropical-inspired cocktails, or dine indoors at Corinne, where timeless favorites are given a contemporary twist.
The experience is completed by a serene luxury spa focused on restorative treatments for mind, body, and spirit. Just steps from Downtown yet surrounded by greenery, The Plaza offers travelers a private oasis in the heart of San Antonio.
The Monarch, part of Hilton’s Curio Collection, is set to debut spring 2026 as San Antonio’s newest luxury escape.
Inspired by the monarch butterfly, the property will feature an atrium-style lobby where nature flows seamlessly indoors, connecting directly to the Hemisfair expansion.
With striking design and a focus on elevated experiences, The Monarch is poised to become a must-visit destination for local food lovers and global travelers alike.
