6 Best Hotels for Seeing the October Annular Solar Eclipse - AFAR

"Set atop rolling hills in San Antonio’s Texas Hill Country across 550 forested acres, this expansive resort—with 496 rooms, 34 villas, and an adults-only floor—blends Texas limestone architecture with native textiles and art and will witness about 4 minutes and 11 seconds of annularity from 11:51:47 a.m. to 11:55:58 a.m. local time. Spacious rooms feature cherry wood, oversized windows, and private patios for viewing; the resort is partnering with a university physics and astronomy department to offer an educational eclipse experience as part of a multi-night “moon’s shadow” package that includes talks, telescope viewing, a welcome reception, and a lawn viewing party. Dining ranges from charcuterie to upscale Texan fare such as beef tenderloin and venison." - Stephanie Vermillion
