The St. Anthony

The St. Anthony, A Luxury Collection Hotel, San Antonio is a 277-room national historic landmark in downtown San Antonio, built in 1909 as the city’s first luxury hotel. The property completed a multi-million dollar restoration in 2015, preserving details like crystal chandeliers and walnut paneling while modernizing all guest rooms and bathrooms with marble finishes and oversized showers. The 72 suites include the John Wayne Suite, named for the actor who celebrated the 1960 Alamo premiere at the property, and the 10th-floor Presidential Suite spans more than 3,000 square feet with three bedrooms and four bathrooms. The lobby’s “Peacock Alley” corridor, the 10th-floor St. A Sky Terrace, and the rooftop heated infinity pool with private cabanas are among the most distinctive public spaces in any downtown San Antonio hotel.

The hotel offers more than 31,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space across 13 meeting rooms, with each space retaining original architectural character including double-height ceilings and crystal chandeliers alongside current A/V equipment. The Anacacho Ballroom is the property’s primary ballroom and held a 900-person cocktail party during the 1960 Alamo premiere. A separate ballroom features a fully lit stage and a spacious balcony, making it practical for general sessions, award dinners, and receptions. A 24-hour business center and full-service concierge round out the event support infrastructure on-site.
