Moderately Priced Hotels in San Antonio - Menger Hotel

>> Hotel guides >> San antonio >> Menger hotel

The Menger Hotel is a moderately-priced hotel with a long history.  It was first constructed in 1859, directly adjacent to the Alamo.  The Menger earns rave hotel reviews not only for the sense of history it maintains, but also for the classy experience it provides to guests.  The rooms are thoroughly updated, but manage to keep their historic ambiance with classic décor and restored architecture that is faithful to the original design.  In addition, amenities like a large heated pool, courtyard garden, piano, and a modern fitness center make this one of Downtown San Antonio's best hotel deals.

The famous Menger Bar serves up cocktails nightly and is a favorite of local patrons as well as guests.  The Colonial Room Restaurant doles out classic gourmet cuisine in an unparalleled environment with colonial décor and historic atmosphere.  The Alamo Plaza Spa is a full-service, on-site spa that has become a popular place for visitors staying at any of the hotels in the Alamo/Riverwalk area.

Because of its location, the historic Alamo, a mission that was the site of a legendary and bloody battle during the Mexican-American War, is the main tourist attraction for people staying at this moderately-priced hotel.  However, the Rivercenter Mall, San Antonio Riverwalk and El Mercado Mexican Market are all within walking distance of the centrally-located Menger.

Worthwhile attractions in the wider San Antonio area include SeaWorld, Six Flags theme park, and a host of museums celebrating the past and present of this famous and historic Texas city.  A complete list of tourist-worthy attractions can be found on San Antonio's tourism web site (http://www.visitsanantonio.com/).  The San Antonio Conservation Society has information about the Alamo and the city's many other historic sites (http://www.saconservation.org/research/researchlinks.htm).
