Unique in a city of corporate hotels.
We brought our two kids with us for a rambling Alamo City tour and chose this luxury boutique with benefits. The great roof top pool overlooking the city, spa, and charming restaurant and patio on the quiet end of the river walk were some of the reasons we chose the property. San Antonio is a big city with big tourism and massive hotels. This is great for volume but terribly for authenticity and intimacy.
We found the rooms to be perfect and comfortable and rates totally reasonable. Suite style rooms with a separate king bed and living room with a large bathroom were perfect for four. Our experience at Las Ramblas restaurant was stellar too. The kids enjoyed sliders while we enjoyed an Oregon Pinot Noir and fresh gazpacho - all while a couple was married out on 'Marriage lsland' next to the patio. The Cork bar is stylish and comfortable and has great margaritas and a proper old fashioned - and the kids enjoyed a bar-side strawberry short cake with local berries. 
Nothing is worse than staying at a hotel that is predictable or dull. We found the guest mix to be interesting. Young couples in from Europe, wedding parties, corporate travelers, and a few other young families were there. The pool scene was happening but friendly. Great people watching.
The manager turned us on to taking the water taxi instead of the 'tour' to see the river. It's a great way to see everything along the river walk without having to sit on a crowded boat - and it takes about half the time. The only glitch we had was a crowded exit during the valet rush on Sunday, but the staff was friendly and hustling - they just got overloaded.
It's a charming hotel in a world class city. Enjoy it.
