Information:

• Located in the heart of San Antonio, along the banks of the historic Riverwalk, history comes alive at the acclaimed Omni La Mansión del Rio. Originally built as a school by four brothers of the Society of Mary in 1852, the Omni La Mansión del Rio opened its doors as a luxury hotel in April of 1968, just in time for Hemisfair, San Antonio's 1968 World Fair. The hotel's blend of Spanish colonial architecture, storybook setting, celebrated restaurant, and elegant accommodations are just a few of the reasons it is recommended by the most discriminating travelers.
