Spacious Riverwalk Suites

Hotel Contessa offers all-suite accommodations with separate living areas and bedrooms. Rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows with views of downtown San Antonio or the Riverwalk, pillow-top mattresses, flat-screen TVs in both living and bedroom areas, refrigerators, and coffee makers. Accessible suites include bathroom grab bars, roll-in showers or low tubs, and visual alert systems.

Ambler Texas Kitchen

Ambler Texas Kitchen + Cocktails serves Texas-inspired cuisine with Riverwalk views. The menu includes blackened Gulf red snapper, Texas Akaushi cast iron chicken-fried steak, and house-made guacamole and queso. Breakfast service features items like the Ambler Bloody Mary and mimosas. Outdoor patio seating overlooks the Riverwalk.

Rooftop Pool & Spa

The rooftop pool maintains 85-degree temperature year-round with San Antonio skyline views. The Spa at Hotel Contessa offers rose-infused facials, massages, and poolside reflexology treatments. The fitness center includes Peloton bikes and Technogym equipment. Sound bath meditation sessions are available weekly.

Riverwalk Central Location

Located directly on the San Antonio Riverwalk, the hotel is a 5-minute walk to The Alamo and Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. Tower of the Americas and Historic Market Square are within 1 km. San Antonio International Airport is 25 km away. Valet parking is available with wheelchair accessible ramp entry.

Meeting & Event Services

The hotel provides 10,000 square feet of event space including the Contessa Ballroom with wood paneling and adjustable lighting, River Patio for outdoor events, and boardroom with mahogany table. Services include on-site catering, A/V equipment, and business center with wheelchair-accessible computers. Wedding packages include river-level seating and valet parking.

“This hotel strikes me as a place where you can unwind; the rooftop spa, with its city views, must be a real draw, alongside innovative Texas cuisine served with a local focus. I appreciate that the suites include separate living areas, offering more space to relax; however, it may be worth considering whether a city view is preferable to a Riverwalk view when booking. It looks like an ideal option for a relaxing escape.”
