Hotel Valencia Riverwalk

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose this downtown stay for direct River Walk access, a Spanish Colonial design identity and walkable theatre and historic-district sights.

About the hotel

Hotel Valencia Riverwalk is a 213-room downtown hotel set along a quieter stretch of San Antonio’s River Walk, with elevator access to the waterside path. Spanish Colonial interiors, designed by Rottet Studio, give its public spaces a strong sense of place. Dorrego’s restaurant, Naranja bar, a third-floor courtyard and a terrace overlooking the river make the hotel a destination in its own right, while the Majestic Theatre, the Alamo and Market Square are within walking distance.

Choose it if

You want River Walk access without staying far from downtown sights; the hotel connects to the walkway through its lobby elevators.
You value a locally rooted design scheme, with Spanish Colonial rooms and public spaces designed by Rottet Studio.
You have plans at the Majestic Theatre or want the Alamo and Market Square within walking distance.

Skip it if

You need a swimming pool; the hotel confirms it does not have one.
You want a spa on the property; the hotel says its spa access is at a separate nearby business, not on-site.

The surrounding riverfront walk, restaurants and city sights are close at hand; inside, recently redesigned rooms use soft neutrals, rich wood and marble finishes. It suits travelers who want a downtown base with substantial facilities for unwinding between outings.

Hotel ICON, Autograph Collection

Houston, United States

City135 roomsHistoric

In downtown Houston’s business and theater districts, Hotel ICON occupies a neoclassical landmark built for the Union National Bank. The 135 accommodations include 18 suites, while preserved architectural details—notably the original bank vault in the lobby—keep the building’s former life in view. Contemporary guest rooms and an on-site restaurant and bar make this a city-center base with a stronger sense of architectural history than a standard downtown tower.

The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas

Dallas, United States

CityFine Dining

In Uptown Dallas, this 21-story hotel places 218 guest rooms and suites within an urban property with private residences above. Its simplified Regency-style tower, clad in buff-colored brick and limestone, gives way to interiors refreshed with walnut and bone-toned finishes. Fearing’s, the hotel’s Southwestern restaurant, is a defining part of the stay; a Club Lounge and spa add quieter counterpoints to the McKinney Avenue setting. The appeal is a city hotel with a strong Texas dining identity, rather than a resort removed from the city.
