San Antonio, Jan. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — San Antonio’s first Autograph Collection Hotel, Plaza San Antonio Hotel & Spa, is set to open this Thursday, January 18. The new luxury hotel at the corner of South Alamo Street and East Cesar Chavez Boulevard features 253 oversized guest rooms, two restaurants/bars, expansive meeting space, and repurposed 19th century historic buildings that are home to a day spa and a one-of-a-kind bungalow suite.
“Plaza San Antonio Hotel & Spa is like nothing else in the city, offering luxury amenities in a garden oasis rooted in history,” said General Manager Juan Flores. “Guests will be awed by the sanctuary provided, outstanding cuisine, and convenient access to everything the city has to offer. We’re thrilled to welcome our guests.”
The hotel, owned and operated by White Lodging, is located at the intersection of the trendy Southtown neighborhood and the rich culture of downtown San Antonio – just steps away from Hemisfair, La Villita and the Henry B. González Convention Center.
Luxury and wellness amenities are complete at Plaza San Antonio with the addition of a new day spa – The Spa Plaza San Antonio. The Spa Plaza San Antonio, open initially with limited in-room services for guests only, will officially open its full suite of services to the public in March. In anticipation of the full opening, The Spa Plaza San Antonio is offering a 24% discount for any appointments scheduled for March that are booked in advance during the first week of the hotel’s opening (must book between Jan. 18 – Jan. 25). Reservations are accepted at www.spaplazasanantonio.com.
As previously announced, Plaza San Antonio Hotel & Spa also features a resort-style swimming pool and two community-focused restaurants and bars – Corinne San Antonio and Anaqua Garden Bar.
Led by Executive Chef Joseph Krauss, Corinne San Antonio serves weekday breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and weekend brunch and dinner. Corinne’s menu weaves together classic American food with South Texas and Gulf Coast influences. In addition to a carefully curated food menu, the full-service restaurant features an extensive cocktail and wine program. Weekend brunch is served from 7 AM to 2 PM, reopening for dinner at 5 PM. Happy hour can be enjoyed from 4 to 6 PM.
Named after the property’s historic 42-foot tall Anaqua tree, Anaqua Garden Bar is a sanctuary overlooking the hotel’s outdoor pool and surrounded by greenery. Anaqua will feature a fusion of Japanese foodways with Latin tradition, inventive botanical-forward cocktails, lush seating and a curated soundtrack to create a Zen oasis. Limited winter hours are Wednesday and Thursday from 4 PM to 10 PM and Friday and Saturday 4 PM to midnight. Heaters and screens are available to stay cozy. Regular operating hours and extended outdoor seating will come with our grand opening later this Spring!
Plaza San Antonio offers flexible and unique meeting space options for every event and wedding type with more than 21,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor venues, including a nearly 6,000 square foot ballroom.
