River Walk steps away · Marriott Bonvoy · Large meeting capacity

Best for Marriott Bonvoy members and travelers who want a full-service, branded hotel within a short walk of River Walk attractions and convention venues.

Quick Verdict: Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk vs Marriott San Antonio Riverwalk

When Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk wins: choose the Grand Hyatt if you need large event / ballroom capacity, want easy access to the Henry B. González Convention Center through an adjacent connection, prefer rooftop pool and multiple distinct on-site dining choices (Moda Fare, Ruth’s Chris, Tejas Lounge). Its larger room count and dedicated event spaces make it the stronger pick for big meetings and weddings.

When Marriott San Antonio Riverwalk wins: pick the Marriott if Marriott Bonvoy status/benefits matter to you, if you prefer a property that lists both indoor and outdoor pool options and a central spot on East Market Street within easy walking distance of River Walk attractions. The Marriott’s meeting-room inventory and 512 rooms suit medium-to-large groups who prefer the Marriott brand experience.

Bottom line: both are full-service, upscale downtown hotels within a very short walk of each other and the River Walk. For large conventions and a rooftop pool with downtown vistas, lean Grand Hyatt; for Marriott loyalty, a straightforward downtown stay and a hotel with both indoor and outdoor pools, the Marriott is the better match.

Location: Grand Hyatt vs Marriott — which is closer to the action?

Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk – Location

Grand Hyatt sits directly adjacent to the Henry B. González Convention Center and is a short walk to River Walk landmarks.

  • About a 1-minute walk to the convention center; roughly 5 minutes to the River Walk and about 7 minutes to the Alamo.
  • Connected location is useful for large-meeting foot traffic and quick access to downtown attractions.
  • Nearby: Shops at Rivercenter, Tower of the Americas, La Villita and Hemisfair Park.

Pick Grand Hyatt if convention-center adjacency and the quickest route to event spaces matter.

Marriott San Antonio Riverwalk – Location

Marriott San Antonio Riverwalk is centrally located on East Market Street within easy walking distance of downtown sights and convention venues.

  • Supplier listing places the hotel steps from the Henry B. González Convention Center and within a 10-minute walk of the River Walk.
  • Close to Tower of the Americas, the Alamo and Rivercenter shopping.
  • Good option if you want a short walk to downtown nightlife and River Walk dining.

Choose the Marriott if you want an easy downtown location with quick River Walk access while staying in the Marriott brand.

Rooms: Grand Hyatt vs Marriott — size, club access and room mix

Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk – Rooms

Grand Hyatt is a larger property with roughly 1,003 guestrooms and a Grand Club lounge option.

  • Grand Club (23rd floor) provides complimentary breakfast and evening hors d’oeuvres for eligible guests.
  • Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property; room configurations listed on the hotel site.

Grand Hyatt is a better pick for guests seeking suite/upgraded-lounge access and a large inventory of room types.

Marriott San Antonio Riverwalk – Rooms

  • Room types include: Room, 1 King Bed (Mobility/Hearing Accessible, Tub); Room, 1 King Bed (Mobility Accessible, Roll-In Shower); Room, 1 King Bed (Hearing Accessible); Room, 1 King Bed; Room, 2 Double Beds; and balcony/view variants.

Dining & drinks: Grand Hyatt vs Marriott — variety and signature venues

Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk – Dining & drinks

Grand Hyatt offers several distinct on-site outlets from casual to fine dining.

  • Ruth’s Chris Steak House (dinner, patio seating) for fine-dining steakhouse service.
  • Moda Fare serves all-day Italian cuisine with breakfast, lunch and dinner service and a daily happy hour.
  • Tejas Lounge provides a lobby-level cocktail menu and Spoonful Provisions offers coffee and grab-and-go items.

Grand Hyatt has more named, destination dining outlets on-property if you want to stay in for multiple meal types.

Marriott San Antonio Riverwalk – Dining & drinks

Marriott lists two restaurants, a coffee shop/cafe and a bar/lounge in its supplier facts.

  • Cactus Flower Restaurant is listed among the hotel's dining venues.
  • The property includes a coffee shop/cafe for grab-and-go and a bar/lounge for drinks.
  • Breakfast is available for a fee at the hotel (local cuisine breakfast noted) and hours vary by venue.

Marriott provides full-service dining and a cafe; expect a standard branded-hotel dining mix rather than multiple signature concepts.

Pools & signature amenity: rooftop lap pool vs indoor/outdoor pools

Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk – Pools & signature amenity

Grand Hyatt’s signature water amenity is its temperature-controlled 25-meter rooftop lap pool on the 5th floor.

  • Pool-deck is promoted as one of downtown’s largest rooftop pool decks and is listed among event spaces.

If a rooftop, lap-oriented pool with downtown views matters, Grand Hyatt clearly leads.

Marriott San Antonio Riverwalk – Pools & signature amenity

Marriott’s supplier listing notes both an indoor pool and an outdoor pool available to guests.

  • Supplier listing indicates number of indoor pools - 1 and number of outdoor pools - 1.
  • Pool umbrellas and sun-loungers are part of the listed amenities.

  • Tejas Lounge and happy-hour offerings provide a low-key on-site evening option.

Grand Hyatt is focused on fitness and club-level services with spa access arranged nearby rather than an on-site spa.
