“Remember the Alamo,” the fabled cry went after 189 defenders held back a Mexican army. Today, the iconic mission-fortress in the Alamo Plaza Historic District still stands as the epicenter of Texas independence. The fascinating UNESCO World Heritage Site is a 20-minute walk from our hotel, largely along the beautiful Riverwalk. Explore its lovely gardens and pause at the marble-granite sculpture that bears the names of legendary heroes Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie.

Henry B. Gonzáles Convention Center is less than a mile from the InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk, a short 20-minute walk away. The center hosts large-scale conferences and gala events across 203,000 square feet of space, including multiple flexible meeting rooms, a tiered theater, and a massive ballroom, all powered by state-of-the-art technology. After a day of meetings and presentations, you can unwind with a stroll back to our luxurious hotel along the Riverwalk.

The facility comprises three spectacular venues: a 2,100-seat performance hall, a 259-seat studio theater, and an outdoor space along the Riverwalk.
