We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Valencia in San Antonio. From the moment we arrived, the signature scent throughout the hotel was amazing—a subtle but memorable touch that added to the upscale ambiance.
The decor was beautiful, with a stylish and sophisticated feel throughout the property. Our room was large, luxurious, and exceptionally comfortable. The mattress and bedding were top-tier, and we had some of the best sleep we’ve had in any hotel.
The hotel is located along the River Walk, though it’s not directly in the middle of the busiest area. That worked well for us—it felt more peaceful, but we were still close enough to walk to the restaurants and shops.
We did try Dorrego’s, the on-site restaurant, and found it to be just okay—convenient, but nothing special. San Antonio has so many great dining options nearby that we mostly chose to eat elsewhere.
One quirk: there’s an $18 daily “resort fee”, but the hotel does credit it back toward purchases made on-property. However, you can’t use the full amount all at once—it’s applied daily, which felt unnecessarily restrictive.
Overall, Hotel Valencia offers a luxurious and relaxing experience, with beautiful design, spacious rooms, and a quieter spot along the River Walk. We’d gladly stay again, especially for the comfort and ambiance.
