Riverside Comfort Just Steps from San Antonio’s Music Scene

Modern, comfortable, and ideally located, the Holiday Inn San Antonio-Riverwalk places you right in the heart of the city’s vibrant downtown. Set along the scenic Riverwalk, this hotel blends laid-back Texas charm with urban convenience. Spacious rooms with wood furnishings, flat-screen TVs, and in-room coffee setups offer a cozy spot to recharge after a night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a short walk or quick ride away from some of San Antonio’s top live music venues, including the historic Aztec Theatre and the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts. The hotel’s central location means no need to worry about late-night transport—everything is close. Free WiFi helps you share your concert memories instantly, and the 24-hour gym and year-round pool are great whether you’re winding up or winding down. The 4:00 PM check-in gives you time to settle in, and the 11:00 AM check-out lets you sleep off the encore.

Food and Drink Options

Grab a bite before or after your show at Windows on the River, the hotel’s on-site restaurant with scenic views. For something quick, the Grab And Go Cafe has coffee and muffins ready when you are. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the on-site lounge is great for a nightcap, and you’re within walking distance of countless downtown eateries. Breakfast is available—perfect after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more relaxed than rowdy, it's surrounded by bars, clubs, and live music spots peppered throughout the Riverwalk and downtown area. The on-site lounge offers a chill space to sip local brews or cocktails, and you’re never far from the action if you want to keep the night going.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s location on the Riverwalk, making it easy to explore downtown and get to shows without the stress. Many mention the friendly staff, clean, spacious rooms, and great river views from the restaurant. The outdoor pool and hot tub are popular perks, especially after a long night of dancing.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel shows a little age in spots, and the elevators can be slow during busy times. Parking is available but comes with an added fee—something to note if you’re driving in. That said, the walkability of the area often makes a car unnecessary.

The Bottom Line

If you’re headed to a downtown San Antonio concert and want a comfortable, well-located hotel with Riverwalk charm, the Holiday Inn is a solid pick.
