San Antonio, TX – InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, has announced the opening of the InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk. This 21-story hotel features 390 rooms, over 18,000 square feet of meeting space, four new restaurants and bars, and exceptional Les Clefs d’Or concierge service, setting a new standard for luxury in the region.
Situated just one mile from the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center and steps away from San Antonio’s famed River Walk, the hotel offers convenient access to many of the city’s top attractions, including The Alamo, The Pearl, and La Villita Historic Village. Guests can also enjoy direct access to a water taxi landing zone, providing an alternative mode of transportation along the serene waterways.
“The InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk embodies the vibrant culture and rich heritage of San Antonio,” said Stefan Gruvberger, General Manager. “Whether you’re a local seeking a refined retreat or a visitor eager to explore our city’s charms, the hotel’s luxury accommodations and amenities offer something for everyone.”
Owned by Trailbreak Partners in conjunction with Scarlett Hotel Group, the hotel boasts a rooftop pool, 24-hour in-room dining, on-site valet, a dedicated house car, a state-of-the-art 24-hour fitness center, and a Club InterContinental Lounge, ensuring a premium guest experience.
Meetings & Events

Unparalleled Design
Designed by Leo A Daly, the hotel’s aesthetic blends mid-century architecture with modern finishes, incorporating organic textures and materials reminiscent of San Antonio. Rich finishes in brass, marble, dark wood, cognac leather, and glass complement the plush velvet furniture. The lobby showcases an abstract contemporary work of Joan Crawford, a nod to her 1954 film Johnny Guitar, while the concierge gallery features a curated selection of local products and artisans.

The hotel offers four unique dining options in collaboration with Heartwood Hospitality, under the leadership of Executive Chef Andres Farias:
- Cavalier: An American-style brasserie featuring farm-fresh ingredients.

- Rosebelly Coffee: A café offering light bites, house-made pastries, and locally roasted coffee.
- High Praise: Opening later this month, this rooftop bar and restaurant will offer creative cocktails, refreshing brews, small bites, and live music on weekends.
