A beautiful place with
loads of history
I have been staying at the Menger Hotel for over 40 years and still roam the halls looking at its history. I imagine what it must have been like during the days when "Bet-a-Million" Gates, O. Henry, and Babe Ruth stayed here. What about the Rough Riders being recruited by Teddy Roosevelt to go fight in the Spanish-American War? - Michelle P
Classic hotel
Fabulous location
The Menger Hotel is right in the center of everything San Antonio, including the Alamo and River Walk. The hotel itself retains its history but has all of the modern amenities you'd expect. We had a drink in the Menger Bar where Teddy Roosevelt gathered his Rough Riders. You could really feel the history! - DonnaPG
Historic Hotel with
Fantastic Staff
The Menger is a historic hotel 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! - Marsha P
A Touch
of Class
This is a glorious, historic hotel. The lobby is grand and there is much to see and learn… the pictures of San Antonio, the artwork on the walls, and the Roosevelt memorabilia provides a museum-like experience. We ate and drank in the Menger Bar, but the restaurant looked inviting as well. - TeddyDean
History at
its finest
Loved our stay here. The hotel was beautiful and with all the history inside, you could spend hours roaming and reading about it all. The bar was just as fun, hard to believe we were drinking in the very spot the rough riders were!! Bullet holes are still there. The spa was amazing… best massage I have ever had! - Tour609123
