Grand Hyatt San Antonio

Grand Hyatt 2

During a recent business trip I had the pleasure of staying at the Grand Hyatt in San Antonio.  While there are many options of hotels on the river in San Antonio, the Grand Hyatt was an excellent choice.  Located right on the river this was one of the best Hyatt hotels I have visited.

The hotel itself is enormous.  From most places in the general vicinity, the Grand Hyatt, literally stands out above other hotels.  Located directly on the San Antonio Riverwalk and practically inside of the convention center the Grand Hyatt is the perfect location for small and large events alike.  Hotel staff were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating.  They were helpful, always smiling and ready to assist as needed.

Grand Hyatt 5

Not only is the hotel enormous, the décor is spectacular.  From the glass chandeliers in the lobby to the wonderful paintings found throughout the hotel, the Grand Hyatt does not disappoint.  In the meeting room there are ample outlets and also the ability to pipe in music through the speakers located in each of the meeting rooms.  The hotel was well equipped to handle all size groups, large and small without making the guest feel crowded or too isolated.

Grand Hyatt 3

If you need your morning coffee, there was the 24 hour coffee bar that served Starbucks products, so they had you covered.  The coffee shop also had a variety of food items to accommodate, breakfast, lunch, or the occasional snack.  If heavy breakfast is not your thing, the hotel provided fresh water, juice and donut holes during the day.  However with Ruth Chris located on the lower level and Bar Rojo on the main level dining options were not a problem.

Overall, my stay at the Grand Hyatt San Antonio was great.  Our group too an early morning walk along the river and around the immediate area of the hotel.  There was beautiful scenery as well as an unobstructed path for us to walk.  The area along the river was simply beautiful with the lush greenery and calm water.  I will be returning to San Antonio again soon for another business trip and I hope that the Grand Hyatt will again be the choice.  I would love to stay there again.

 

Be Blessed, Be Fabulous!
