Just steps from the historic Alamo is the original Menger Hotel, which was built on the site of Menger’s brewery, the first of its kind in Texas.

This historic hotel in San Antonio is renowned for its beautiful architecture, a restored 19th-century wing with Victorian-style guestrooms, rare antique furniture, and paintings, all which lend an air of historic luxury. Guests will enjoy a truly unique and unforgettable vacation experience while celebrating 160 years of Texas-sized hospitality.
