The Spotlight on O'Brien Riverwalk Boutique Hotel

Charming Boutique Comfort Steps from San Antonio’s River Walk

Modern amenities meet old-world charm at the O'Brien Riverwalk Boutique Hotel, a cozy, stylish spot nestled just one block from San Antonio’s famous River Walk. With a relaxed vibe and historic touches, this boutique hotel offers a quiet retreat while keeping you close to the city’s vibrant music and nightlife scenes. Walk to The Alamo in under 10 minutes or explore the artsy charm of La Villita Historic Arts Village just five minutes away.

Free internet access, Streaming Roku TV, and in-room coffee makers make it easy to unwind after a night out, while thoughtful touches like hair dryers and ironing facilities add convenience to your stay.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can’t beat the location—just a short stroll from downtown venues and nightlife, yet tucked away enough for a restful night's sleep. The hotel’s late check-in (from 3:00 PM) and central setting make it easy to crash after the encore or head out for a post-show bite without needing a car. Plus, the historic charm adds a unique vibe to your concert weekend.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a central base to explore music and nightlife
  • Solo travelers checking off a dream concert
  • Couples making a romantic weekend out of music and culture
  • Fans who want a quieter, character-filled space to recharge after the show
  • Budget-conscious travelers wanting walkable access to top San Antonio attractions

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’re only minutes from a wide variety of local eateries and late-night dining spots along the River Walk. Plenty of cozy breakfast cafes are nearby—perfect for sleeping in and grabbing brunch the morning after. Room amenities like coffee makers come in handy for a quick caffeine fix.

Nightlife Options

You’re in the heart of it all: bars, lounges, and live music venues are all within walking distance. Whether you want to discover a new local band or sip craft cocktails in a relaxed setting, the area has something for every vibe. The hotel itself offers a more peaceful atmosphere for those who prefer to unwind after the show.

What People Say

Guests rave about the location—steps from the River Walk but away from the crowds. Many love the charming, historic feel of the building and the friendly, helpful staff. Rooms are described as cozy and clean, with Roku streaming a popular highlight for post-concert relaxation.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that the rooms are on the smaller side, and the older building can mean thinner walls. Light sleepers may want to pack earplugs, just in case. Parking is available but may cost extra, so budget accordingly.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a charming, walkable, and affordable stay in downtown San Antonio, the O'Brien Riverwalk Boutique Hotel hits all the right notes.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Karina, Pasaden, visiting Rosedale Park San Antonio

On our arrival, front desk clerk was nice and courteous. Rooms were clean but we thought it was too small. Beds are marked queens but felt like full size beds. I was not too impressed with our room.

Liked: Walking distance to river walk.
Disliked: Small room and needs a lot of structure repairs.

BEWARE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

Disliked: Due to a booking error (my fault- time zones) arrived a day earlier. O"Brien helped out and made a room available BUT insisted I pay up front, despite me having already paid via Booking.com. with the understanding I sort this out with Booking.com directly. Contacted Booking.com who contacted O" Brien for confirmation they could cancel original booking free of penalty. RADIO SILENCE from O"Brien . So effectively will pay twice for 2 of the 3 nights we stayed there! Of course no one answering their phone! BEWARE!!!!

Decent

Liked: The location
Disliked: The front office desk person when I was checking out was kind of rude and kept asking me questions while I was trying to leave. Was asking if my dog was a service dog and I ended up having to tell him would you like to see the paperwork?
