Directly across Market Street from the convention center entrance, with 17,500 square feet of event space and a terrace overlooking the River Walk for evening receptions.

0.2 miles from Henry B. González Convention Center

Aiden San Antonio Riverwalk
9 Rating (918 Reviews)
0.2 miles from Henry B. González Convention Center
1103 E Commerce Street, San Antonio, TX 78205
A 74-room boutique property scoring 9.0 across 918 reviews, the kind of consistency that larger convention hotels rarely match at this distance. The smaller scale means faster check-in and quieter hallways, with a bar that functions as a conversation space rather than a convention overflow lounge.
Staybridge Suites San Antonio Downtown Conv Ctr by IHG
9.3 Rating (943 Reviews)
0.3 miles from Henry B. González Convention Center
123 Hoefgen Ave, San Antonio, TX 78205
By day three of a five-day convention, the full kitchen in every suite starts paying for itself: stovetop, full-sized refrigerator, and complimentary daily breakfast offset the cost of eating out every meal. Highest-rated property on this list at 9.3, located in the revitalizing St. Paul Square district.
Hilton Palacio Del Rio
8.5 Rating (2,001 Reviews)
0.3 miles from Henry B. González Convention Center

Every room has a private balcony overlooking either the River Walk or the city, a detail that makes evening downtime between convention days feel earned. Durty Nelly's Irish Pub and Fiume Pizzeria give you two distinct on-site dining options without fighting for a River Walk reservation.
Kimpton Santo San Antonio - Riverwalk by IHG
9.1 Rating (325 Reviews)
0.3 miles from Henry B. González Convention Center
431 South Alamo Street, San Antonio, TX 78205
Luxury without the convention-hotel formula: a full-service spa, complimentary evening reception, and rooms designed around espresso makers and separate sitting areas rather than generic desk-and-TV layouts. Dean's Steak & Seafood handles client dinners on-site without the uncertainty of a River Walk reservation during event weeks.
Plaza San Antonio Hotel & Spa, Autograph Collection
9 Rating (750 Reviews)
0.3 miles from Henry B. González Convention Center
555 S Alamo St, San Antonio, TX 78205
When the agenda runs from breakfast meetings through after-hours networking, the on-site spa with massage and body treatments resets the day without leaving the property. Landscaped grounds and an outdoor pool create a pace distinct from the convention-scale hotels two blocks north.
