    AMAZING!!! The absolute BEST customer service all around, everywhere you went! Top 3 hotels I've stayed at! The scenery is absolutely stunning! They have complimentary alcoholic beverages from 5-6pm, you know I took advantage of that! The rooftop pool is so relaxing! I loved it! The food service on the tenfold rooftop wasn't what I expected. We ordered chorizo oysters & you could bearly see the oysters..I'll post pics, the Korean bbq skewers were tasty... they were a bit too spicy for my daughter & the drinking water at the pool was super hot so he literally ran and got my daughter an iced water, his name was Mark so very sweet. They had a complimentary wine bottle with chocolate covered strawberries waiting for me as I entered my hotel room, I felt super special! I will definitely have another staycation here! It went better than I expected!

    I LOVE THE KIMPTON CHAIN. PERIOD. I always say each location is my new favorite and that will probably never change. This location just opened last August and you can tell it's new. I love the architecture and interior design so much. It makes me feel like it is in a desert location. Very chic and modern. The rooftop pool is excellent as is the service (we ordered a couple of cocktails and some snacks) and our pup had a blast relaxing on a lounger. The hotel bar is super cool with excellent service and drinks. Room service is amazing. We had steak and eggs for breakfast and the food was cooked to perfection. The staff goes above and beyond. From start to finish. The valet, front desk, housekeeping, servers, etc. all at the top of their game and all seem to really love working here. The love and care shown for our sweet dog just went above and beyond. Can't wait to get back!

    A welcoming, clean, and comfortable hotel with amazing views and super dog friendly points like complimentary dog bowls and dog beds for use. One of the dog bowls I received was dirty with a prior dog's usage but I just set it aside. The floor is nice because it's dog-proof and the rest of the hotel is gorgeous. Lovely downtown views and floor to ceiling windows in the premium rooms and they have a social hour from 5-6pm on certain weekdays. It's about 10-15 min from the Riverwalk area and 5-10 to La Villita. It felt safe and quiet in the neighborhood. There's parking with valet or next door is a cheaper open lot. Overall, amazing hotel and would love to come back. The pool and view is exceptional and particularly quiet late in the evening and early morning.

    I stayed one night at the Kimpton Santo Hotel in downtown San Antonio, and it was a great experience. The hotel has a chic, modern vibe with several bars, including a rooftop bar with nice views. There's also a cozy library-style sitting area where they serve complimentary beer and wine from 5-6 pm, plus you receive two free margarita tokens for the main bar. We hung out at the wonderful pool and enjoyed the night views. The property also has a steakhouse on-site and a beautiful outdoor courtyard that's well lit and creates a romantic ambiance. A stylish spot for both relaxation and a fun night out. We will return for another stay.

    This hotel reminds me of the luxury resort experiences that you would get in Mexico. As soon as you arrive on the property you are greeted by their smiling valet service. Once you walk inside, your senses are awakening by the aromatic scents they have to greet you. On the inside and out, the place is beautiful. Very grown & mature vibes with the low lights and esthetics. They have a living room & patio area for lounging. A rooftop pool & lounge with beautiful city views. A restaurant & bar on site, and a speakeasy. All they were missing was a spa! Many people come for these vibes on the weekends that aren't hotel guests, so reservations are highly encouraged. The best part for me was that it's dog friendly and free for the dogs to stay. I've never experienced any hotel like that. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. From the bed to the shower to the restaurant. I felt like I had an escape to Tulum. Although I was on a work conference and didn't really get to enjoy everything that was offered. Every staff was kind, patient, & courteous. They all wore a smile on their face. From the tall door man, to the bellman, to the valet guys, the housekeepers, the bartenders, the hostesses, and front desk staff. They all seemed to like their job and went above and beyond to provide excellent 5 star customer service. I would definitely recommend checking this place out. And I hope to visit again soon.

    Only entrance available (as of Sept 17, 2024. Main entrance is closed due to construction).

    Checked this newly and impressive hotel! Kimpton Santo Hotel is located down town San Antonio. You are able to spot the name from afar and give you the sense of a resort like hotel! As soon as I entered Kimpton Santo hotel, I was greeted by Natalie. A very professional, helpful, and knowledgeable young lady at the front desk. She explained everything I needed to know about the hotel, guests social hours, and the restaurants. She made me feel very welcomed and appreciated that. The Dean's Steak & Seafood is a very nice place to have that special dinner with that special someone. The patio area is a romantic place to be with your love one or with families. For best view, be there as the sun goes down-You won't regret it! The Tenfold Rooftop-If you never felt on top of the world, you will be there. You can see just about all of downtown San Antonio and if you want to impress someone...this is the place!. Cons-Active construction by the main entrance (closed). You have to enter via the side of the hotel.

    We recently stayed here for just a night for a quick overnight trip from Austin to catch a show and celebrate my birthday. We are big fans of the Kimpton brand and were really excited to see one open in San Antonio. When it came time to book our hotel, the Kimpton Santo was a no brainer. Upon arrival, we were immediately impressed with the sparkling new building. Everything is shiny clean and the decor is very well done. Check-in was a breeze and the front desk staff was super friendly. Unfortunately, we did have a couple of major issues with our room once we settled in which put a big damper on our afternoon/evening. I believe both issues were related to the new construction, but our afternoon we had planned to spend relaxing in the room and enjoying the amenities quickly escaped us as we wrestled maintenance issues -- one which even made the bathroom unusable. That being said, the reason I still rate this a 5-star experience has everything to do with the staff. The staff at the Kimpton Santo (especially AJ) went above and BEYOND to make it up to us! Knowing it was my birthday, and wanting to turn our stay around, we were moved to a new room (sans maintenance issues) and AJ arranged several surprises for us over the course of our stay to make our experience special -- including sending up this delicious birthday cake (pictured)! While our stay started rocky, we ended up having an amazing time. Our new room was comfortable and well-appointed just as we've come to expect from Kimpton. We grabbed drinks before dinner at the lobby bar and got after-dinner drinks at The Study (the cocktail bar connected to Dean's Steakhouse located at the hotel). Every staff member we interacted with was so accommodating and went out of their way to make us feel taken care of. AJ even arranged a special treat for us a The Study as well! You're never going to find a hotel that doesn't have maintenance issues and troublesome inconveniences from time to time, but the thing that sets hotels apart is the way they respond to them. Kimpton Santo has top-tier customer service in spades. That, and the beautiful facilities, would lead me to book the Kimpton Santo again without hesitation.

    I loved this hotel. Very beautiful spaces everywhere and all of the staff were especially friendly. I love the rooftop bar and even the lobby bar is very nice. The check out is 12 which I can appreciate it not being too early and even though I left my room a little late no one was banging on my door asking when I was leaving. My only complaint is the pool menu. I wish there were more options for food such as quesadillas and chips and guac etc. Also I overhead there was an extremely long wait time around check out time for valet so maybe room for improvement there. But I can't wait to come back and stay here!

    So to be fair this hotel is new, could be understaffed and surrounded by construction so this could be the reason for my low stars. Beautiful hotel, smells amazing not overpowering, valet arrival was great, but upon us leaving the staff changed and that valet service was not so great. The pool was what I was most excited for but was a let down. Amazing views, very little sun coverage causing the pool water to be more of an ice plunge situation, but the worse part is no staff around till 4pm. Which is a complete let down. The suggestion is get out of the pool in your swim wear, take the elevator 10 floors down through the lobby and into the fine dining steak house bar area to order food and drinks, then go back up to the pool. Never been to a hotel where this has occurred. May return next summer in hopes that it's fully staffed and a different experience :)

    Kimpton was an amazing hotel! Starting with Dj with the valet, he took care of us promptly and kept taking care of us all night as we needed! Then Pete the Bellman, helped with unloading our vehicle so quickly and carefully and took everything up to the room for us with ease and then continuing to take care of us all night, including some of the best conversations we've had! Then moving into the receptionist whether it was Moore, Zoey or Richard they all provided exceptional service! Ensuring we knew exactly what we were getting into and there being zero surprises! We would highly recommend Kimpton, if you are looking for a professional atmosphere that is both pet and family friendly!

    Lets talk about the rooftop pool and service. STACY was excellent! She was very attentive and ensured we had what we needed when we needed it. Her timing was fantastic. Most come around too much or too little she was PERFECT! Celebrated my Mothers birthday with this establishment and she had a GREAT time so ... huge THANK YOU to Stacy!

I could go on for many paragraphs about how great our stay was at Hotel Emma but I will keep it short as this is something you just need to experience. First off, from checking in to, room service, to drinks in the Library, to our checkout, the staff was fantastic, friendly, and there to assist with absolutely anything you needed or wanted. Even the room service staff was top notch! The rooms were beautiful and well set up for comfort and luxury. Even the bathroom was luxurious and inviting. We enjoyed checking out the Private Library while having cocktails and learning even more about this fascinating building from the new and friendly Concierge. The pool was beautiful, warm and inviting and offered an interesting view from one of the upper floors. The Hotel bar offered some great perks for guest, private upstairs access away from the crowds, top notch service and attention from the staff and the opportunity to spend some time sipping cocktails on the couch in private in an old 28,000 gallon beer finishing tank. Having coffee and pastries on a beautiful outdoor patio in the morning was also another great opportunity. There was close access to many different places in the Peal Brewing square area adjacent to Hotel Emma including a great morning street fair on Sunday. Hotel Emma is the only 5 Star Hotel that we are aware of in Texas and also provided an outstanding Michelien rated restaurant for dinner (separate review). Over all, we can not find one thing we were unhappy with during our stay at Hotel Emma, other than the fact that our stay was far too short. If you are looking for the ultimate in Hotel stays/service, you MUST take some time and come for a stay. We will definitely be returning to Hotel Emma on our next trip to San Antonio.

It truly is an exceptional property - check in was quick and easy and the room was stunning. It kept the integrity of the original building with exposed concrete walls and floors and beautiful lights and decor. The bathroom is also stunning and the shower is the best hotel shower I have ever encountered with lovely lavender shower gels and lotions. It does however lack counter space which makes it a little difficult to get ready as there is nowhere to place make up etc. Each night there is a traditional turndown service where they bring you fresh water, ice and macarons from the local bakery which is a lovely treat. The hotel also offers free coffee delivered to your room or available in the downstairs library and comes with two tokens for afternoon cocktails! The hotel bar is beautiful with delicious cocktails and bar snacks and the hotel is surrounded by some of the best restaurants in San Antonio at the Pearl. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is the fact that the room was very noisy and it was difficult to sleep. They provide eye masks and ear plugs at turndown so likely are aware! A lot is unavoidable due to the structure of the hotel - the exposed concrete, high ceilings make everything echo so when guest were passing you could hear every word echo back but the room also had noisy pipes with a running water sounds all evening and a fridge that was so , so loud it made sleep difficult ! That's a deal breaker for me as the one thing I need to do in a hotel especially when there for a work trip - is sleep! Other than that it is a stunning property snd certainly one of the most beautiful properties I have ever stayed in !

    Omni La Mansión del Rio on Sa TX is the place to stay. Try to get a room with river view…read more Important to know that if driving the best place to park is across the street at the Houston Garage, $10.00 for 24 hours vs valet parking at a he actual hotel. The check in people are nice and welcoming and if you join the loyalty program you get 1 free drink ticket which is nice. Breakfast is a bit expensive but so is everything on the river so eat at the restaurant which has brunch till 3pm. Our room included 2 FREE bottles of water which was nice. Try to visit the bar in the evening and meet KD, great bartender that treats all his customers as they are the only people there. KD made are last night at the Omni truly enjoyable. Great place for some bourbon pours. If you are lucky you will meet Josh the assistant food & beverage director. Josh made our anniversary evening special with a slice of dessert...thanks Josh, thanks KD for making our anniversary trip a special occasion to talk about. This hotel is loaded with history and great people that welcome guests in true SA hospitality!

    Christmas Stay at La Mansión on the River Walk-a must holiday experience!…read more The hotel has an unbeatable historic location right in the heart of the River Walk, which really shines during Christmas. Being able to step right out into all the holiday lights and activity is magical. Ironically, because of the location, the boat tours go by about 30x a day you and you will hear the Selena bridge story about as many times... but that's part of the River Walk experience If you stay in a River Walk room - most likely it will be a shared balcony. It was interesting, kinda like being at the pool in terms of privacy but honestly a bit more separation would have been appreciated-even a plant. The hotel itself is a grand old dame--and it definitely shows its age. Behind the beautiful holiday decorations, the floors felt dirty and really needed a deep cleaning or vacuuming. Every time someone walked into the elevator you could feel the floor drop and shift. The adobe-style architecture is charming and floors not so much-they slope noticeably, and the carpet has divots and wear that add to the "creaky" feeling. Overall, the place feels a bit tired. That said, the staff truly try hard, which deserves credit. The hotel has undeniable character and doesn't feel like a chain hotel at all. If you can overlook the obvious maintenance and cleanliness issues, it's still iconic and charming in its own way. Ratings: Cleanliness: (2/5) Staff Effort: (3/5) Location: (5/5) A lovely location with tons of history--just needs some serious TLC to match its reputation.
