  • Close to Shops at Rivercenter, Tower of the Americas and Hemisfair Park.

Choose Grand Hyatt if convention proximity and walkable access to downtown attractions matter most.

  • Centrally located in downtown San Antonio—within a short walk of the River Walk and several theaters and museums.
  • Near landmarks such as the Tobin Center and Travis Park.
  • Close to shopping and dining options in the core downtown area.

Rooms: space, style and access

Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk – Rooms

Grand Hyatt offers a large range of rooms and suites with Grand Club access for select bookings.

  • Room list includes Club Room, multiple suites (Executive Suite, Luxury Suite, Suite (Ambassador), Suite (Fiesta)).
  • Grand Club on the 23rd floor provides complimentary continental breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres for eligible guests.
  • Rooms are aimed at business and family travelers; rollaway/cot availability varies by source.

The Grand Hyatt is better if you want many room-type options, suites and a dedicated club lounge.

Thompson San Antonio Riverwalk – Rooms

Thompson's 162 guestrooms emphasize design and include several suite categories and riverwalk-view options.

  • Room types include Room, 1 King Bed; Room, 1 King Bed, City View; Riverwalk Suite with 1 King Bed; Thompson Suite with 1 King Bed and multiple accessible room options.
  • Rooms feature minibars, espresso makers, 65-inch LCD TVs and designer toiletries.
  • Smaller hotel size means fewer rooms but a more boutique, design-focused inventory.

Pick Thompson if you want a smaller, design-forward room inventory and suites with curated in-room amenities.

Dining & drinks: variety vs focused menus

Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk – Dining & drinks

Grand Hyatt provides multiple on-site dining venues that cover casual to fine dining.

  • Moda Fare — all-day Italian restaurant (breakfast through late night).
  • Ruth's Chris Steak House — full-service steakhouse inside the hotel for dinner and private dining.
  • Tejas Lounge and Spoonful Provisions offer lobby cocktails and grab-and-go options; Grand Club serves light food for eligible guests.

Grand Hyatt is the choice for variety without leaving the hotel — family-friendly and event-ready dining options.

Thompson San Antonio Riverwalk – Dining & drinks

Thompson offers a smaller culinary program focused on one main restaurant and bar.

  • Landrace Restaurant handles the primary food service with breakfast and dinner offerings (room service available during limited hours).
  • A single bar/lounge and poolside bar provide drink options.
  • Breakfast is available for a surcharge and room service hours are limited.

Choose Thompson if you prefer a compact, higher-end restaurant program and fewer on-site dining options.

Pools & signature amenities

Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk – Pools & signature amenities

  • Pool area is used for events and has one of the largest pool decks downtown.

Grand Hyatt focuses on fitness and business services with 24-hour gym access rather than an on-site spa brand.

  • 24-hour fitness center with floor-to-ceiling windows and a fitness concierge.
  • No branded on-site spa; hotel advertises a discount at a neighboring Dasa Spa.
  • On-site bars and lounges provide after-dark options but the property is oriented toward business and family guests.
