Guests may also walk a few blocks to spend a leisurely afternoon shopping or enjoying a movie at the famous IMAX Theater. Hotel Features. The lobby of the Marriott Plaza San Antonio is decorated with plush upholstered chairs, floral arrangements and elegant lighting. A flower garden courtyard provides a picturesque setting for a heated outdoor pool, spa tub, poolside bar and tennis courts.

Additional hotel amenities include a business center and services, 24-hour front desk and concierge, evening room service, event catering, banquet facilities and gift shop.

Expert Tip. The Marriott Plaza San Antonio is steps away from gondola cruises along the Riverwalk. A cruise departs every 15 minutes throughout the day and glides past such Riverwalk hot spots as the Arneson River Theater, La Villita and La Mansion. More than 35 local restaurants sponsor dinner cruises. Reservations are encouraged.
