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.

    Love love the record players in the room as well as the decor. Wish the sheets & pillowcases were higher quality. Otherwise, it was wonderful!

    Can’t recommend enough!!! The property, staff, location; everything was perfect! The speakeasy bar is amazing. Definitely staying there any time I’m in San Antonio.

    Valet wasn’t there. I was told that was the only option, then was told I could park across the street for less . When I pulled up a valet told me to move while I was looking for a valet. Then after getting inside, the attendant told me I couldn’t check in. I was a little early but the guy who just took my bags disappeared so fast I couldn’t get my things in line to get my confirmation. When I asked the front desk they just said “ I don’t know where they go or take things go find them somewhere “. Room was nice. Well done. Bathroom is a little cramped but it’s a historic hotel it’s to be expected. Restaurant was understaffed and manager not really helpful either. I loved the hotel history, went downstairs and got a haircut- staff there was amazing and made everything worth it. I don’t think I’ll be staying there again however.

    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.
