Staying at Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio
Located in the heart of San Antonio, the Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio River Walk boasts the modern amenities and services you’d expect from a major branded hotel in a major tourist city. The hotel is situated on the banks of the famous San Antonio River, making it a perfect location for visitors wanting to explore the city’s historical and cultural attractions. The Alamo is less than a half mile away.
The hotel has 20 floors and 379 rooms and suites, each of which is designed to provide guests a comfortable and relaxing stay. The hotel also offers a range of amenities, including a FABULOUS rooftop swimming pool – one of the few in San Antonio – a fitness center which is no great shakes with a few pieces of cardio equipment and a business center.
Amenities and Services Offered at the Hotel
The Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio River Walk has a 24-hour front desk, concierge services, and valet parking.
Traffic and parking in this part of San Antonio, right downtown in the main tourist mix, can be a NIGHTMARE!
On a visit during Texas public schools’ Spring Break in March of 2023, I saw legitimate gridlock in this area around 5:00 PM on a Saturday as guests at the multiple hotels in the area were trying to check in, as well as retrieve their cars to go to dinner. Do yourself a favor, take advantage of the valet parking and WALK wherever possible.
The heat can be stifling, but San Antonio’s downtown is very walkable if you’re healthy and you’re better off walking or calling a rideshare – and walking to a less crowded block to pick it up – than trying to use your car every time you leave the property.
There is also a complimentary hot breakfast served every morning, as well as a 5:30 pm kickback reception with free drinks and snacks. I almost exclusively stay at hotels with complimentary breakfast because I’m a big eater and it saves me time and money every single day. I LOVE when hotels up that ante with an evening service; it’s such a nice touch. Don’t confuse either with fine dining, but they get the job done and deliver on reasonable expectations.
The standout feature of the hotel is the rooftop swimming pool, offering breathtaking views of the San Antonio skyline. The pool is heated and open year-round, making it an ideal place to relax and unwind after a busy day of sightseeing. KIDS WILL LOVE IT!
