The Gunter Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk - A Historic Downtown Landmark with Farm-to-Table Dining and River Walk Access

Dating back to 1909 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Gunter Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk stands 0.5 miles from the Alamo. This 4-star San Antonio hotel features bright, classically-decorated rooms with high ceilings, flat-screen TVs, and bathrooms with natural light through windows. Market on Houston, an urban marketplace and café, serves farm-to-table contemporary American cuisine, while Bar 414, established in 2014, honors blues musician Robert Johnson with craft cocktails. The property maintains a fitness center with cardio equipment and weight machines, plus an outdoor swimming pool. Business travelers have access to a full-service business center with high-speed internet. The Gunter Hotel preserves a 1920s-style barber shop among its historic features. Located across from River Walk, the hotel sits within 0.5 miles of La Villita Historic Arts Village and Historic Market Square, with San Antonio International Airport 12.5 miles away.

Pros

Preservation of historic features including an authentic 1920s barber shop

Bar 414 pays tribute to blues legend Robert Johnson's recording location

High ceilings in guest rooms create spacious atmosphere

Natural light through bathroom windows

Cons

Elevator capacity restricted to 2 guests or one family per cab

Parking available only at off-site Travis Plaza garage for USD 35 daily

“The Gunter Hotel's historic charm, dating back to 1909, is a real draw, especially with its River Walk location. I appreciate that its updated amenities, like the speakeasy bar and focus on local cuisine, nod to both past and present. However, reports of inconsistent room upkeep give me pause, suggesting a need for sharper attention to detail.”
