San Antonio’s hospitality landscape is set to welcome a transformative new arrival in spring 2026. The Monarch San Antonio™, part of Hilton’s Curio Collection and developed by Zachry Hotels, promises to redefine luxury in the heart of the city’s historic downtown.

Located steps from the Henry B. González Convention Centre and the Riverwalk, and just one block from the Alamo, The Monarch offers business travellers and leisure guests alike a rare blend of elevated design, cultural resonance, and restorative experience.

A Destination, Not Just a Stay

The Monarch is conceived as more than a hotel – it’s a curated environment where contemporary architecture meets the soul of San Antonio. With 200 guest rooms and 28 suites, the property showcases regional art, immersive signature scents, and forward-thinking interiors designed to inspire and soothe.

Guests can expect five distinct dining venues, including a rooftop restaurant and speakeasy, alongside a rooftop pool and spa. Wellness offerings go beyond the expected, with IV therapy, contrast therapy, and infrared saunas designed to renew both body and mind.

Celebrations and Conferences

For corporate gatherings and milestone events, The Monarch delivers versatility and flair. The signature La Mariposa Pavilion – a three-winged, light-filled installation named after the Spanish word for butterfly and will serve as a striking open-air courtyard for receptions and creative activations.

Complementing this is over 15,000 square feet of meeting space, including a 5,000-square-foot ballroom and eight breakout rooms, offering seamless functionality for conferences, product launches, and executive retreats.

Design with Local Soul

From its architectural lines to its culinary philosophy, The Monarch is rooted in place. Guests will find a hospitality experience that honours San Antonio’s vibrant heritage while delivering world-class service and memorable moments.

As General Manager Richard Slutter puts it: “Come enjoy a rare kind of luxury, where impeccable service anticipates your every need, culinary excellence delights at every encounter, and each experience is meticulously crafted for those who appreciate exclusive, memorable moments.”
