Designed by Leo A Daly, the overall aesthetic of the InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk blends mid-century architecture and modern finishes with subtle nods to the organic textures and materials of San Antonio…
The debut of the 390-room InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk, which features more than 1 600 square metres of meeting space, four new restaurants and bars, and impeccable Les Clefs d’Or concierge service, sets a new standard for luxury accommodations in the region. Located one mile from the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Centre and steps away from the city’s famed River Walk, the 21-story hotel is within walking distance of many of the city’s attractions. The hotel also provides guests with direct access to a water taxi landing zone, granting them an alternative mode of transportation along the tranquil waterways.

“The InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk embodies the vibrant culture and rich heritage of San Antonio,” said Stefan Gruvberger, General Manager. “Whether you’re a local seeking a cultivated retreat or a visitor eager to explore our city’s charms, the hotel’s luxury accommodations and amenities offer something for everyone.”
Owned by Trailbreak Partners in conjunction with Scarlett Hotel Group, the hotel is equipped with a rooftop pool, 24-hour in-room dining, on-site valet, a dedicated house car, a 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness centre, and a Club InterContinental Lounge.

The hotel’s 1700 square metres of event space — directly accessible via the valet area — includes the magnificent 760-square-metre Pecan Ballroom replete with flexible conference areas, an intimate boardroom outfitted with the latest A/V technology, and 10 meeting rooms that all feature built-in food and beverage stations and panoramic views of San Antonio.
The design by Leo A Daly, brings the hotel to life through the rich finishes crafted from brass, marble, dark wood, cognac leather, and glass. Plush velvet furniture in various pops of colour offset the property’s neutral palette. Situated behind the arrivals desk is an abstract contemporary work of Joan Crawford, an homage to her 1954 American Western film Johnny Guitar. The concierge gallery is a curated showcase of local products, artisans, and activities, adding a special touch to the hotel’s décor
and connecting guests to the city.

In conjunction with Heartwood Hospitality, the hotel shelters four unique restaurant and bar concepts, led by Executive Chef Andres Farias, who will also oversee creative direction for in-room dining services and catering operations. The F&B offerings include Cavalier, a ground-floor American-style brasserie that embraces San Antonio’s tradition of creative gastronomy with farm-fresh ingredients; Deco Bar, an upscale lobby bar with an extensive craft cocktail menu and shareable plates; Rosebelly Coffee, a cafe for those on-the-go and High Praise, opening later this month, a spectacular rooftop bar and restaurant where guests and locals alike can indulge in creative cocktails, refreshing brews, small bites, and live music on weekends.
The opening of InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk, is part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ robust 2024 development pipeline in Texas, which includes 15 new properties across eight brands.
