San Antonio Marriott Riverwalk, High-rise hotel on River Walk, San Antonio, United States

The San Antonio Marriott Riverwalk is a 30-story, 350-foot hotel tower on the San Antonio River Walk in downtown San Antonio. Its broad front facade is banded with dark horizontal glass separated by thin light lines, framed by two pale flat side piers, one carrying a red Marriott inscription near the top. A sloped roof of brown square tiles projects over the entrance, with a smaller matching canopy beside it.

The San Antonio Marriott Riverwalk was built in 1979, not 1988, as a 30-story, 350-foot tower on the downtown stretch of the San Antonio River Walk. It ranks as the city's eighth-tallest building and one of its tallest hotels, dating from the era when the River Walk was being built up with large hotels.

The hotel stands on the San Antonio River Walk, the landscaped river-level path that gives the property its name and shapes how guests arrive, on foot along the water. Its address on the downtown bend places it among the river's hotels, restaurants and shops, and the River Walk itself, begun as a flood-control project in the 1930s, is the city's best-known public space.

The hotel sits in a walkable area along the river with shops and restaurants nearby, making it easy to explore on foot. Rooms are accessible throughout the building, and the location puts guests close to the city's main attractions.

The hotel is San Antonio's eighth-tallest building and one of its tallest hotels, standing 350 feet and 30 stories high. Its tiered upper shaft ends in a pointed metal lattice crown, and a red Marriott logo marks the facade near the top.
