SAN ANTONIO, Texas and MCLEAN, Virginia – Hilton and White Lodging announce the opening of Canopy by Hilton San Antonio Riverwalk located on the San Antonio Riverwalk. The 195-room hotel officially opened on Thursday, April 22, and is the first Canopy by Hilton in San Antonio. With its new restaurant and bar, this addition to the neighborhood mixes colorful old-world vibes with the city’s rejuvenated art, entertainment, and culinary scene.
“We are thrilled to provide our guests with an authentic experience that brings San Antonio to life through locally-inspired design and south Texas cuisine while also providing a place to relax and recharge,” Daniel Haughan, general manager of Canopy by Hilton San Antonio Riverwalk. “With incredible views of the Riverwalk and cultural attractions just steps away, guests are immersed in San Antonio’s vibrant fiesta culture.”
Designed as a natural extension of the surrounding city, Canopy by Hilton San Antonio Riverwalk boasts spacious guestrooms, suites, and public spaces that strike a balance between modern design and rich cultural décor. This includes integrating the old Civil War-era Alamo Fish Market building and repurposing historical elements such as the cistern and limestone walls.
Guestrooms are thoughtfully designed, showcasing artwork and textiles that reflect the city of San Antonio. The black-and-white shower tile pattern in the bathroom represents the classic San Antonio quatrefoil logo, which honors the four specific city pillars: people, pride, passion, and promise.
“I can’t think of a better city in which to grow Canopy’s footprint in Texas. San Antonio increasingly becomes a must-visit destination for its rich history, architecture, award-winning restaurants, and eclectic culture,” said Phil Cordell, global category head, lifestyle and global brand head, Canopy by Hilton. “We look forward to offering guests a truly positive stay at Canopy by Hilton San Antonio Riverwalk as we continue to expand Hilton’s lifestyle portfolio and open new properties in sought-after locations around the world.”
