St. Anthony- A Wyndham Historic Hotel Labeled as a Wyndham Historic Hotel, the St. Anthony has certainly seen its share of history and probably even made some at the same time. Construction began on the hotel in 1909, when San Antonio was just a Texas cow town. Soon after its opening, it was rated in the same category as New York Citys Waldorf-Astoria by some visitors. The property was bought in 1935 by entrepreneur Ralph W. Morrison, who initiated many changes including the addition of a 10-story tower and air conditioning.
Since 1909, the St. Anthony has been the place for
celebrities and dignitaries to stay while in the Alamo City. First
Lady Eleanor Roosevelt stopped here, as well as General Douglas
MacArthur, President Eisenhower, Prince Rainier and Princess Grace
of Monaco, Judy Garland, Lucille Ball, Fred Astaire, John Wayne,
Gregory Peck, and Rock Hudson. More recently, Arnold Schwartzenegger
and Maria Shriver, Bruce Willis, George Clooney, and many others
have stayed at this elegant accommodation. But dont be intimidated by all the names surrounding the St. Anthony, its rooms are available to anyone who wants to stay there. Every room is equipped with hair dryers, coffee makers, phones with data ports and voice mail and irons and ironing boards. If youd like to dine where the stars eat, look no further than The Madrid Room, found on the grounds of the St. Anthony. The Madrid room serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in an old world Spanish atmosphere and features Italian cuisine with a Southwestern twist. Also on property, Petes Pub offers guests drinks and light meals while they relax after a long day or converse with fellow guests. Dont miss the St. Anthonys Sunday Brunch, regarded as one of the best weekend brunches in San Antonio. Location: 300 E. Travis Return to San Antonio Hotels, B&Bs |
