The Spotlight on Menger Hotel

Historic Elegance Right by the Action

Nestled beside the iconic Alamo and just a short stroll from the bustling San Antonio River Walk, the Menger Hotel blends vintage charm with modern convenience. This stately, historic property is a favorite for travelers who love a little character with their comfort. With an outdoor pool, peaceful courtyard garden, and on-site dining, it’s a calm, classic retreat right in the heart of downtown.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re within walking distance of several downtown venues, including theaters, live music bars, and open-air performance spaces. The hotel’s location next to the Rivercenter Mall means you’ve got easy access to late-night eats and rideshares. It’s far enough from the late-night noise to allow for a restful post-show sleep, but still close enough to dive into the scene. Plus, with check-in from 4:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there’s time to relax around your show schedule.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a central base to hit up multiple shows
- Solo travelers catching a legendary artist
- Couples mixing music with a romantic weekend
- Fans looking to unwind in a quieter, historic setting after a show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who want value in a prime location

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Colonial Room Restaurant serves breakfast and lunch, perfect for a late wake-up after a concert night. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the location next to Rivercenter Mall opens up a world of walkable dining options late into the night. Grab coffee from your in-room maker before heading out, or hit one of the nearby cafes for a bite.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re just minutes away from a variety of downtown bars, lounges, and venues. Whether you’re into rooftop cocktails, chill dives, or live bands, San Antonio’s nightlife is right outside your door. And when you’re ready to wind down, the hotel’s quiet halls and historic ambiance offer a peaceful escape.

What People Say

Guests rave about the character and history of the Menger, often calling it a hidden gem. The location earns high marks for its walkability to concerts, attractions, and restaurants. Many also appreciate the friendly staff and the relaxing courtyard pool—a rare bonus in a downtown hotel.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms feel a bit dated compared to modern chains, and the historic charm comes with thinner walls—so light sleepers might want to pack earplugs. WiFi is free, but reviewers note it could be stronger in some areas.

The Bottom Line

A beautiful blend of history, location, and comfort, the Menger Hotel is a smart choice for concert-goers who want to stay central without sacrificing charm or quiet.

Don’t book a 100 year...

Liked: The location
Disliked: The air conditioner cannot keep up with the demand and you really don’t have any control over the temp. When we got there it was set on 73 and it was 73. We turned it down to 68 then left for a little while. When we came back it was 74 then went to 75. We were leaving again so I called the front desk and they were going to send some one to look at it. When we came back it was set to 70 and it showed 70. We decided to leave it alone. When we got up it was 72 and set at 72. It was very muggy in our room the whole night. It probably would have been fine if we would’ve had some type of fan.

Historical Room stay

Liked: The old feel, it takes you back in time. And the signature scent diffused throughout the lobby. We had a historical room overlooking the garden. The pool is serene and quiet.
Disliked: There wasn't anything I can say I didn't like.

Great if going to Alamo

Liked: Clean, appealing, quiet
Disliked: Refused to help with luggage (I had a broken arm), husband with recently knee surgery). A long way to check in and 20 min wait. A bit expensive.

OK for the value. I...

Liked: The valet parking attendants were pleasant and cooperative in terms of our leaving luggage there while we picked up a rental car.
Disliked: Having a room that had a step into the bathroom.
