Wonderful Boutique Hotel!
I’m so glad we stayed at this hotel! I live in San Antonio, and booked this hotel as it’s new to the area and based on the hotel’s website info. Everyone we met at the hotel was polite and professional. Johnathan helped us at check-in, and he went the extra mile to make a new batch of apple cider after we returned for the evening. The hotel is walking distance to La Vallita Historic District (steps away) and a comfortable distance to the Majestic and other downtown attractions. Our room had two queen beds - very comfortable beds and pillows. Bathroom high end. I was visiting with my daughter and granddaughter. My daughter plans on returning to stay with her husband. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Amazing
The staff was very professional and welcoming. Room was clean and the view was amazing. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortably. All the amenities are very upscale and I really loved that they have hard floors versus carpet. Absolutely loved my experience staying at The Kimpton.

Excellent Stay
From check in to check out, the staff are so helpful and welcoming.
The welcome cocktail was an added treat. The bar provides amazing drinks. Be sure to visit their Speakeasy, The Study, for specialty drinks.
This is a beautiful hotel in an historic setting.

Wonderful pet friendly stay
What a beautiful place! Enjoyed the level of pet friendliness the place exuded. The hospitality and friendliness of staff was infectious and it was nice to see a hotel prioritizing this while not being “snooty.”
Will definitely be back next time in San Antonio

Not a good experience
The hotel itself has some positive architectural features along with some seriously negative ones.
Access to 10th floor rooms is very uninviting. Though it is on roof top pool level, getting to the room felt like going in through the back door.
We did not like the raw polished concrete in the rooms. It looks unfinished and a cheap rug under the bed did not make up for it.
We had trouble with the shower head gears ( cheap stuff) and the AC was a source of trouble from a thermostat and sound point of view.
Most of all though, on service, they have a long way up to get to mediocre. The room was not cleaned and using Thanksgiving as a pretext to justify not attending the room does not make much sense to us. Also they ran out of Turkey mid service during the Thanksgiving brunch!!!
The Study, a high end mixology bar, was very small and we sat at our table for 15 minutes without being attended to at all. Ended up walking out.
Some associates tried hard but overall a major disappointment. We could not recommend anyone stay there. There are plenty of far better places in San Antonio.
Even valet parking will cost 60 a day with tax which is outrageous when considering the abundance of parking areas around the property.
Not the right vibe at all. There will be no second chance.
