Local Area

Conveniently located in downtown San Antonio off 1-10, next to Market Square. Just minutes by trolley or courtesy van service to the Alamo, Riverwalk, Convention Center, Alamodome, shopping and restaurants.A short drive to SeaWorld and FiestaTexas, and 15 minutes to San Antonio International Airport.

Of course, downtown San Antonio means more than the Alamo and the Riverwalk. If you have a worldwide taste for food, you're going to find so many diverse restaurants you'll wonder if you're really in Texas. And at the first setting of the sun, the music and nightlife start and never seem to stop.

Above all, if you were meant to shop, San Antonio will seem like paradise. There are dozens of riverside and street-level shops and boutiques. None, however, as unique as Market Square/EI Mercado. You can shop all day in a Mexican market filled with unique and authentic fashions, gifts, souvenirs, vendors, music and fine restaurants. The history of Market Square, in a sense, reflects that of San Antonio. The first gathering place for farmers to sell their produce, it was influenced by Spanish missionaries, Belgian farmers and German settlers. Its final definition, you'll find, is decidedly Mexican.
