Top Reasons to Stay at The Menger

You Love Lounging By The Pool

Soak in the sunshine at the pool deck from the comfort of a cool chaise lounge. The Menger Hotel has the largest pool in all of San Antonio, and we can’t think of a better way to relax and unwind.

You love art, architecture and antiques

Throughout the hotel, you’ll find museum-worthy art and architecture, as well as fascinating vintage photos that trace our storied history. Amid the Victorian architecture and 19th century elegance, delight in the Spanish courtyard and in the Menger Bar, an exact replica of London’s House of Lords Pub.

You believe location is everything

The Menger is located directly on Alamo Plaza and adjacent to Rivercenter Mall and San Antonio’s celebrated Riverwalk. In other words, you’re steps from the city’s best shopping, dining and entertainment.

You love history

The oldest continuously operating hotel west of the Mississippi, The Menger traces its history to William Menger, who opened the Menger Brewery in 1855 (and thus introduced beer to San Antonio) and followed it with the hotel in 1859.

You've got a sweet tooth

Fine dining is a long tradition at The Menger, but no trip to our landmark hotel is complete without a serving of Mango Ice Cream in the Colonial Dining Room. It’s been on the menu for more than a hundred years.

"Historic hotel with fantastic staff"
The Menger is an historic hotel right next to the Alamo and so close to shopping and the River Walk. The hotel staff could not have been more accommodating and pleasant. If you are planning a trip to San Antonio this hotel has it all - great location, history, wonderful staff, and a fantastic restaurant on-site.

"Excellent service from check-in to check-out"
Everyone was helpful and friendly. The hotel was spotless and its location is excellent for seeing the Alamo, Riverwalk, and Hemisphere Plaza. I was always given helpful directions and information, my room was comfortable, and the historic integrity of the hotel was pleasantly obvious. I was there for a conference and meals and set-up were done seamlessly with an attentive staff and excellent food. There were never issues with technology either, so meetings proceeded on schedule.

“Wonderful historic hotel!”
Ask for one of the old rooms. The new wing is fine and lovely, but if you stay at this hotel you should sleep in as much history as possible. It's a grand old dame with wonderful amenities and an excellent location. You are literally across the alley from the Alamo!

“Historic and perfect”
If you enjoy history and great service, this is the place to go to. My wife and I had a date night in San Antonio and were not disappointed. The suite was very nice and well appointed. We had a few drinks at the bar and enjoyed the great service and were wowed with the beautiful wooden bar. The bar staff and management made our night very memorable.

“Wonderful Venue”
We had a conference here and really enjoyed the stay. The rooms were nice. The service was wonderful and the food was amazing. I have to highly recommend this historical hotel for a small conference. To be honest, I can't really think of anything to complain about.
