The 227-room Hilton San Antonio Hill Country has completed a propertywide refurbishment. The hotel, five minutes from SeaWorld San Antonio, features more than 12,500 square feet of meeting space.
"We are thrilled to unveil the results of our extensive renovation project, which underscores our dedication to offering our guests the utmost in comfort and luxury," said Troy Benavides, general manager of the Hilton.
Among the amenities at the hotel are an expansive garden courtyard with individual fire pits, two on-site dining outlets and a seasonal outdoor pool bar, a 24-hour Fitness Center, a large pantry market, a lobby gift shop, and the DoubleShot grab-and-go coffee bar. Three heated outdoor pools are open year-round, including a dedicated kids' pool, a lap pool and a large family pool.
Bringing the Hill Country inside
Studio11 Design, a Texas-based firm, drew inspiration from the surrounding Hill Country, using Austin stone and upholstery inspired by traditional weaves to create a palette that balances muted, natural backdrops with inviting accents reminiscent of the Texas sky, local cacti and sun-warmed peaches.
The guest rooms now feature modern Western furniture and Hill Country–inspired artwork, plus upgraded 55-inch HDTVs, Cuisinart coffee stations and spacious work desks. Large soaking tubs and sleek walk-in showers are hallmarks of the hotel's suites, and all rooms now provide Crabtree & Evelyn bath amenities.
Signature dining with Texas flair
The Spur Texas Kitchen & Bar offers breakfast, lunch and dinner, offering New American cuisine with Texas flair. Some options on the menu are Ranchers Brisket Hash, classic Fried Green Tomatoes and a Texas-sized Pork Tomahawk. A signature cocktail, the smoked Campfire Old Fashioned, is perfect for enjoying on the shaded patio seating in the courtyard. Guests can enjoy courtyard amenities such as large game setups, evening movies and seasonal activities. The Tortuga Pool Bar provides light bites and refreshing cocktails poolside.
In line with the property's commitment to sustainability, the Hilton San Antonio Hill Country has incorporated energy-efficient lighting throughout the property, further reducing its environmental footprint.
