The 3-star O'Brien Riverwalk Boutique Hotel, located in the heart of San Antonio, offers guests the opportunity to experience true southern Texas hospitality in a traditional boutique setting. The property boasts a quiet and relaxing atmosphere, allowing guests to unwind and enjoy the charming surroundings. Marvel at the two stories of exotic collections, including a unique horn collection, cowboy memorabilia, and fish from the Seven Seas. This historic hotel, once the Municipal Auditorium, has preserved its original facade and transformed into a world-class venue.

Guests can enjoy a delightful dining experience at The O'Brien Riverwalk Boutique Hotel, with continental breakfast available in the comfort of their rooms. Additionally, the hotel is conveniently located near a variety of dining options, including Southwestern cuisine at Boudro's restaurant within 550 meters and delectable Thai dishes at Thai Lucky Sushi Bar just 50 meters away.

Ideally situated along the banks of the Riverwalk, The O'Brien Riverwalk Boutique Hotel allows guests easy access to the famous Riverwalk, the Alamo, and other popular attractions such as the San Fernando De Bexar Cathedral and the Spanish Governor's Palace. Transportation options are convenient, with the historic Municipal Auditorium just across the street and the Southern Pacific Passenger a 20-minute stroll away. San Antonio International Airport is also easily reachable, approximately 25 km from the hotel, providing easy access for travelers.

The O'Brien Riverwalk Boutique Hotel provides a variety of rooms, including Queen Rooms and King Rooms, adorned with elegant furniture, a writing desk, and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. Comfort is ensured with carpeted floors, guest toiletries, and towels in bathrooms, as well as safety features such as smoke detectors and electronic key cards. Some rooms offer high-speed internet access and cable channels for entertainment, while others offer city views.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location couldn't have been better, with many restaurants and the Cafe at La Villita nearby. It was also close enough to walk to a decent part of the river walk. The hotel facilities were excellent, with spacious and clean rooms. The staff was very friendly and provided us with great restaurant recommendations.

Not one thing.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff at the front desk, especially Aaron and the woman working the night shift on July 4th, were super helpful and attentive. The lobby was charming and the room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The balcony on the back side of the hotel was a great addition. The location was perfect, as it was just one block away from the River Walk access. We also appreciated the reasonable price and daily cleaning service.

All was perfect.

The staff at this hotel, particularly George from Venezuela, went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. The location was perfect, within walking distance of the Riverwalk and other local attractions. The hotel was clean and spacious, with balconies offering a relaxing skyline view. The available drinks and snacks at the snack bar were an added bonus.

Couldn't fault.

The hotel was conveniently located just a short walk from the Riverwalk, making it easy to explore this city's popular attraction. It was also reasonably priced considering its prime location. The room I stayed in was spacious and had access to a shared balcony. It had all the necessary amenities, including a TV, coffee/tea maker, microwave, fridge, hairdryer. The bathroom was also a good size, with a fantastic shower and a bathtub. Additionally, the breakfast offered a satisfying variety of options, including cereals, toast, bagels, hot food.

Nothing bad to say.
