Best Marriott International Hotels in San Antonio

Like the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa, this JW Marriott property is a hit with families. The expansive property has fairways and spa treatments for the adults, and a lazy river and waterslides for the kids. Meanwhile, the resort offers a variety of rooms to suit groups of various sizes. Whichever accommodations you choose, you'll be surrounded by colorful decor, cozy furniture and views of the Texas Hill Country. According to guests, the staff always seems to be smiling and ready to assist, and with multiple restaurants to choose from, you certainly won't go hungry. The property is just a 21-mile drive north of downtown San Antonio, so spending a day touring the city's historical attractions is a cinch. The JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa is a member of the Marriott family, meaning that loyal guests can earn and redeem Marriott Bonvoy points here.

Less than three blocks north of the San Antonio River Walk, this National Historic Landmark, restored in early 2015 mixes 20th-century architecture with modern style and amenities. Visitors say the property has been restored to its original grandeur and features crown molding, mosaic tile flooring and glass chandeliers throughout the common areas. You'll find more up-to-date stylings in the spacious guest rooms, including 300-thread-count linens, pillow-top mattresses, minibars, oversized writing desks and local artwork. Travelers can take advantage of the on-site fitness center or take a dip in the rooftop pool, while those in town on business can use the 24-hour business center. To unwind, guests can linger in one of the two on-site lounges, including the St. Anthony Club. If you're looking for more sustenance, you can grab breakfast at Gallery On the Park, or sit down at the upscale guest favorite, ReBelle, for dinner. Recent guests said the St. Anthony Hotel distinguishes itself from other properties in the city by exceeding their expectations and providing five-star service. As a member of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

Location, location, location: That's the first thing recent guests note about this member of the Westin family, which overlooks the famous San Antonio River Walk. But then again, many chain hotels can brag about a similar seat. According to visitors, The Westin Riverwalk, San Antonio distinguishes itself from the competition with exceptional customer service. Guests applaud the staff's professionalism and friendliness. The hotel also earns kudos for its spacious guest rooms. While brand-name properties often fall into a rut when it comes to design, The Westin Riverwalk sets itself apart yet again, boasting authentically Texan leather furniture and Heavenly Beds perched atop signature wrought iron frames. The property also houses an outdoor pool, The Woodhouse Day Spa and the acclaimed Zocca restaurant. Zocca serves Italian favorites with a side of spectacular views. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

This hotel makes a great home base for business travelers who plan on spending time at the nearby Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. And because it sits right on San Antonio's River Walk, sightseers will also find these digs to be convenient. While this member of the Marriott family may not look as nice on the outside as its sibling, the Marriott Plaza San Antonio, previous guests said that they received better service here. After working up an appetite taking in the nearby sites, chow down on Southwestern cuisine at the Cactus Flower Restaurant or just relax by the indoor-outdoor pool. Recent travelers appreciated the updated lobby and meeting areas, as well. Members of the Marriott Bonvoy program can earn or redeem points here.

This property distinguishes itself from the several other Marriotts in the area by its sheer size. With more than 1,000 rooms, San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter is made to handle large crowds and is an ideal home base for family travelers and conventioneers. Despite the throngs of guests, recent visitors praise the hotel's employees for their friendly attitudes. Guests also appreciate the convenience of the hotel, which sits right on the River Walk and is just a short walk from other San Antonio attractions, like The Alamo. Still, don't expect too much personality from this giant: Guest rooms here are designed in standard Marriott style – with LCD TVs, large work desks and high-speed internet access (for a fee) – though Texan-esque blankets and leather reclining chairs are a nice touch. The property also features a fully equipped health club and a stylish indoor-outdoor pool, while the in-house restaurant, Sazo's, earns a thumbs-up for its Spanish and Latin flavors. And because of the hotel's family ties, Marriott Bonvoy members can use points for a free night's stay and other extra perks.

Right off the bat, the Marriott Plaza San Antonio wins visitors over with the exotic birds that patrol its courtyard. Meanwhile, the hotel's exterior and lobby greet guests with an elegant Mexican-inspired design. While recent guests enjoyed the hotel grounds, many reported having an average experience. Some travelers have described the rooms here as run-of-the-mill Marriott –though that does mean you can expect to find a certain level of cleanliness, as well as high-end pillow-top beds and flat-screen LCD TVs. The property also offers a pool and the acclaimed Anaqua Restaurant & Grille, which serves up hearty portions of contemporary Texan fare. However, the main reason guests choose to stay here is the hotel's location, just a short walk from San Antonio attractions like the River Walk and The Alamo. And because this is a Marriott hotel, members of the Marriott Bonvoy program can use points to offset the cost of rooms.

The Sheraton Gunter Hotel inhabits a historical building that still exudes turn-of-the-century charm. Guests appreciate the 20th-century ambiance and charming memorabilia in the hotel's common spaces. The simple rooms, however, don't always give off a high-end vibe. Recent guests express mixed feelings on the accommodations: Some were wowed by the views and were very comfortable in the signature Sweet Sleeper beds, while others describe the rooms as small and the decor as dated. The hotel's location is consistently a big hit, though, with sightseers appreciating the Gunter's proximity to sites like the River Walk, The Alamo and San Fernando Cathedral. The heated pool and fitness center also earned praise from travelers, as does the in-house restaurant. Because this is a Sheraton property, Starwood Preferred Guest members can earn and redeem rewards points here.
