About The Gunter Hotel, San Antonio Riverwalk, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

The Gunter Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel San Antonio is located in downtown San Antonio and across the street from the scenic San Antonio River Walk. After undergoing a $50 million renovation, the new iteration of the 116 year old hotel is modernized with new bathrooms, mid-century inspired fixtures, rich color palates and more. As a nod to Blues legend Robert Johnson, who recorded his first album at the hotel in 1936, each room is equipped with a record player and a copy of his first record. The hotel also features a vinyl library in the lobby that guests can take advantage of during their stay. This revitalization includes four new dining and bar concepts, a cutting-edge recording studio, and modern amenities while preserving the Gunter's rich heritage and historic significance. Guests can begin the day with a morning workout in the fitness center, or take a refreshing swim in the heated pool. For banquets and conferences, Gunter Hotel offers over 20,000 square-feet of meeting space. A unique 1920’s style barber shop is also available on-site. The Gunter Hotel, famously known as the center of everything, is less than a mile away from the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center and across the street from the Majestic Theater.

    Excellent service

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    We needed to book four rooms for one night at the very last night due to VRBO doing us wrong once again. Gunter House came through in fantastic glory. All our family members were thrilled by the room and service and stated they would stay there again in the future. We will too.

    Really cool place to stay. I love the vinyl record options and the record player in the rooms. The hotel is walking distance from The Alamo and the river walk. Plus some nice restaurants next door. We are definitely staying here next time we visit.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Great place to stay, but dont take the valet parking here, there are too expensive and they did extra charge from my card silently and i figured out and got my money back, apart from that the hotel is great !

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Reception staff was very friendly, new decor was nice and we really enjoyed our vinile record in the room. And it was comfy It was dirty in our bathroom and some hairs on the floor. I tried to tell cleaning lady but she didn’t speak any English and after she’s been it was no cleaner. Floors were filthy, asked for hard pillow she brought me soft one lol Some of the stuff was falling off, it was freezing in common areas so impossible to use them unless you wear winter clothes. No coffee machine, bathrooms are small
