A Look Inside Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk

See all photos →

Location: Grand Hyatt vs Mokara

Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk – Location

Grand Hyatt sits adjacent to the Henry B. González Convention Center and is a short walk from the River Walk and downtown attractions.

  • Directly connected to the convention center (about a 1-minute walk).
  • Approximately a 5-minute walk to the River Walk and about 7 minutes to The Alamo.
  • Close to Shops at Rivercenter, Tower of the Americas and Hemisfair Park.

Choose Grand Hyatt if proximity to the convention center or easy access to a broad set of downtown sights matters most.

Mokara Hotel & Spa San Antonio – Location

Mokara is positioned on the River Walk with immediate access to riverfront walks and downtown attractions.

  • Street address: 212 W Crockett Street — steps from River Walk docks and downtown sites.
  • Within short walking distance of Briscoe Western Art Museum, La Villita and the Alamo.
  • Good walking access to downtown theaters and dining along the River Walk.

Choose Mokara for a compact downtown base if you want direct River Walk access and a quieter boutique setting.

Rooms: capacity and character

Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk – Rooms

Grand Hyatt offers a very large set of room types ranging from standard rooms to multiple suite categories and a Grand Club option.

  • About 1,003 guestrooms with a range of Room, Club Room and suite types (Executive Suite, Suite (Fiesta), Luxury Suite, Suite (Ambassador)).
  • Grand Club on the 23rd floor provides complimentary club breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres for Grand Club access guests.
  • Rooms configured for business and group travel; rollaway/cot availability may be limited.

Large inventory and club-level rooms make Grand Hyatt practical for groups, conventions and longer business stays.

Mokara Hotel & Spa San Antonio – Rooms

Mokara is a small luxury hotel with under 100 rooms focused on river views and boutique comforts.

  • 99 guestrooms, including River Walk-facing options and several named 'Premier' and 'Suite' room types.
  • Room list includes Premier Room, 1 King Bed (Riverview), Suite (River Walk), River Walk Suite with King Beds and several Luxury Spa room options.
  • Smaller property size means fewer total rooms and a quieter, more intimate feel.

If you prefer fewer rooms and a boutique footprint, Mokara provides river-view and spa-focused room types in a compact hotel.

Dining & drinks: variety vs intimacy

Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk – Dining & drinks

Grand Hyatt has multiple on-site restaurants and bars covering casual to fine dining.

  • Moda Fare — all-day Italian restaurant with a patio and lobby bar seating; daily happy hour.
  • Ruth’s Chris Steak House for fine-dining steaks and seafood (on-site, reservations recommended).
  • Tejas Lounge and Spoonful Provisions cover cocktails and grab-and-go coffee respectively.

Grand Hyatt offers more on-site dining choices and scale, useful when you want variety without leaving the hotel.

Mokara Hotel & Spa San Antonio – Dining & drinks

Mokara focuses on a smaller set of outlets with an on-site restaurant and lounges and limited room service.

  • Two restaurants including Ostra and two bars/lounges; a coffee shop/cafe and limited room service hours.
  • Full breakfasts are offered for a surcharge (weekday and weekend hours listed in supplier data).
  • Smaller dining program aligns with the hotel's boutique, intimate approach.

Mokara is better for guests who prefer neighborhood dining or a compact set of refined on-site options.

Pools & signature amenity

Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk – Pools & signature amenity

Grand Hyatt’s signature public amenity is its rooftop, temperature-controlled 25-meter lap pool and large pool deck.

  • 5th-floor rooftop lap pool with sun loungers and a fenced deck; open daily from 6:00 AM–10:00 PM.
  • Pool deck is used for events and offers skyline views and a pool bar area.
  • Children under 12 must be supervised; pool is a standout for lap swimmers and families.

Choose Grand Hyatt if a large, temperature-controlled rooftop lap pool and pool-deck events are priorities.

Mokara Hotel & Spa San Antonio – Pools & signature amenity

Mokara’s water amenities are smaller and geared to relaxation alongside its spa facilities.

  • Outdoor pool plus hot tub and sauna listed in supplier amenities.
  • Pool access hours reported in supplier listing (7:00 AM–10:00 PM) and the property has pool sun loungers and umbrellas.
  • Pool area suits guests looking for a relaxed, private-feeling pool rather than a large lap facility.

Mokara’s pool complements the spa experience and a quieter stay rather than active lap swimming.

Wellness & nightlife

Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk – Wellness & nightlife

Grand Hyatt emphasizes fitness and business amenities alongside nightlife-level dining and bars.

  • 24-hour fitness center with floor-to-ceiling windows and a fitness concierge.
  • No on-site branded spa; guests receive a discount at a neighboring Dasa Spa (off-property).
  • Tejas Lounge and hotel dining provide evening drink options; downtown nightlife is within walking distance.

Grand Hyatt is best for guests who want strong fitness facilities and easy access to downtown nightlife and restaurants.

Mokara Hotel & Spa San Antonio – Wellness & nightlife

Mokara centers on spa services and on-site wellness more directly than Grand Hyatt.

  • Full-service spa on-site offering massages, body treatments and facials; reservations recommended.
  • Spa features include treatment rooms, sauna and steam facilities listed in supplier data.
  • On-site yoga classes/instruction are listed as available in supplier amenities.

Mokara is the better pick for travelers who want an integrated spa and wellness program on the hotel property.
