The Gunter Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk - A Historic Landmark with Contemporary Dining and Downtown Convenience

Dating back to 1909 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Gunter Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk stands 0.5 miles from the Alamo and River Walk. This 4-star San Antonio hotel features bright, classically-decorated rooms with high ceilings, flat-screen TVs, and bathrooms with natural light through windows. Market on Houston, an urban marketplace and café, serves farm-to-table contemporary American cuisine, while Bar 414, established in 2014, pays tribute to blues musician Robert Johnson with craft cocktails. Guest amenities include a heated outdoor pool, a fitness center with cardio and weight machines, and complimentary wireless internet access throughout. Business travelers benefit from an ergonomic workspace in each room and a full-service business center. The Gunter Hotel maintains its historic character with an authentic 1920s barber shop. Located 12.5 miles from San Antonio International Airport, the property sits within 0.5 miles of Main Plaza, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, and San Fernando De Bexar Cathedral.

Fantastic Dining Experience

“During our stay, we had the pleasure of dining at the hotel restaurant, Market on Houston. The menu offerings were fantastic, and I appreciated the specific recommendations provided by Damir, who truly went the extra mile. The hotel dining room's ambiance made our meals feel special, and it was a great way to unwind after a day of exploration.” view full review

Historic Blues Recordings

“What sets The Gunter apart is its historical significance in the music world. I learned that the hotel was the site of many of Robert Johnson's historic blues recordings. This unique element added a layer of entertainment and charm to our visit, making it a nice experience that's hard to replicate elsewhere.” view full review

Comfortable & Accommodating Rooms

“After long days exploring, I was grateful for the comfortable accommodations. Though the decor may lean towards vintage, I found the rooms to be cozy and adequately equipped. I felt at ease in a space that echoed history while still providing a restful retreat, allowing us to recharge for the next day's adventures.” view full review

Great Meeting Spaces

“If you're visiting for work or planning an event, the meeting rooms at The Gunter are excellent. The facilities blend historic charm with modern amenities. I was part of a small gathering held in one of their event spaces, and it provided an elegant setting that fostered productive discussions while still paying homage to the building's rich history.” view full review
