This luxury hotel unobtrusively combines Old World charm with the comforts of 21st century living. Located in the heart of downtown San Antonio and overlooking the scenic Paseo del Rio, La Mansion del Rio Hotel first opened its doors in 1968. Formerly a 19th century school, the building's architecture remains true to the period. Graceful Spanish arches and columns, cloistered courtyards, high-beamed ceilings and the typically European limestone exterior are a cozy reflection of Colonial Mexico and Spain. La Mansion del Rio offers over 330 guest rooms and elegant suites. Be sure to ask about the signature "Worry Dolls at Turndown" service provided to each guest at night. The hotel also boasts the award-winning Las Canarias Restaurant built on three levels that descend to the River Walk. Celebrity guests having bedded down here include Bill Clinton, Jerry Seinfeld and Shaquille O'Neal. You could say that anticipating its guests' needs (and desires) is a trademark of La Mansion del Rio. This extraordinary hotel is designated a historical treasure by the Texas Historical Commission and the San Antonio Conservation Society. -- Chris Jones
