The Gunter Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk
About The Gunter Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk
The Gunter Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk San Antonio is located in downtown San Antonio and across the street from the scenic San Antonio River Walk. After undergoing a $50 million renovation, the new iteration of the 116 year old hotel is modernized with new bathrooms, mid-century inspired fixtures, rich color palates and more. As a nod to Blues legend Robert Johnson, who recorded his first album at the hotel in 1936, each room is equipped with a record player and a copy of his first record. The hotel also features a vinyl library in the lobby that guests can take advantage of during their stay. This revitalization includes four new dining and bar concepts, a cutting-edge recording studio, and modern amenities while preserving the Gunter's rich heritage and historic significance. Guests can begin the day with a morning workout in the fitness center, or take a refreshing swim in the heated pool. For banquets and conferences, Gunter Hotel offers over 20,000 square-feet of meeting space. A unique 1920’s style barber shop is also available on-site. The Gunter Hotel, famously known as the center of everything, is less than a mile away from the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center and across the street from the Majestic Theater.

Really cool place to stay. I love the vinyl record options and the record player in the rooms. The hotel is walking distance from The Alamo and the river walk. Plus some nice restaurants next door. We are definitely staying here next time we visit.

Great place to stay, but dont take the valet parking here, there are too expensive and they did extra charge from my card silently and i figured out and got my money back, apart from that the hotel is great !

Reception staff was very friendly, new decor was nice and we really enjoyed our vinile record in the room. And it was comfy It was dirty in our bathroom and some hairs on the floor. I tried to tell cleaning lady but she didn’t speak any English and after she’s been it was no cleaner. Floors were filthy, asked for hard pillow she brought me soft one lol Some of the stuff was falling off, it was freezing in common areas so impossible to use them unless you wear winter clothes. No coffee machine, bathrooms are small

The recently renovated hotel is even better than before. The room had great character and a nice city view from the 8th floor. Check-in was smooth and very hospitable.

Breakfast was fabulous, and the service was unbelievable. The second morning we were there, the young lady remembered the type of toast each liked and had ordered the previous morning. She made quite a good impression. Can not think of anything.

It was a beautiful hotel. The lobby smelled great and I loved the decor/furniture. The Jots restaurant was equally beautiful. Our room was beautifully remodeled. I loved the smell and quality of the toiletries. My only complaint is that the mini fridge did not freeze very well. I had to freeze an ice pack for breastmilk since I was away from home.

Great location. Great atmosphere. Speakeasy. Record player in room. Room was very small and the bathroom sink was tiny - for one person. Not a lot of room between shower, toilet and sink.

Location They did not disclose the pool was closed. The pool was one of the reasons for my booking. When i found out the pool was closed they suggested we go to a different hotel and they would let us use their pool, which was very far and we would have to drive there. Very unprofessional for the amount of money it costs. Ridiculous. Wont be going back

The location overall was convenient. All the stores were within walking distance and the majestic theater was right across the street which made travel to the concert easy and simple. The building is historic and just walking through we couldn't help but admire the architecture. The front desk person even walked through "harry potter" door which gave it all a little whimsy.

Amazing staff, really lovely hotel to spend time in as well as well located for the rodeo which is why we were in town. loved the bars and the drinks available Noise from the street - really loud and the windows unfortunately didn't block much out

Also the valet literally broke the rim on my car, added air to the tire and didn’t inform me of any damage or even adding air, until I mentioned my car app sensed low pressure. Waiting for valet manager to get back and review cam footage. The hallways smelled like sewers. Our fourth floor room had a direct view of the roof. The ‘hydration stations’ had unfiltered tasting water. Very thin walls. Low quality doors to rooms. Small elevators when hotel was busy there was a line.

Really good Hotel I was surprised by the speakeasy really nice no need to go out drinking, close to everything and the breakfast was really good the only thing is that they didn’t have enough staff and the only waitress was running back and forth but very attentive good service as well.

Place is beautifully refurbished and it has gone back to much of its historic roots. Room and clean and quiet. Jots is a wonderful dining experience and the Bakery is to die for.

We loved the vibe of the hotel, as well as the location. The front desk staff were very friendly. The housekeeping was not so great. I made requests for items (towels being one) and never received any of them. They also didn’t actually clean our room. They left dirty towels on the floor, hair in the sink, trash on the floor and didn’t wipe down the little dining table in the room that we ate on. If the housekeeping had been on top of it, our rating would have been much higher.

Extremely cozy room, very comfy bed, the lotions and soaps smelled amazing and the record player in the room with a library Downstairs to choose from was a great touch! The only complaint I had was I wish one of the pillows was a little more firm for a side sleeper… I woke up with a crick in my neck. Otherwise stellar stay!

Property was recently renovated but the property is very old. I liked that they kept certain aspects of the hotel. Our windows were frosted so we could not see out which I wasn’t a fan of. Room was huge!

We could not have asked for a better stay when it came to accommodations. The room was exceptionally clean, everything was beautiful! Love the bar downstairs. Love the Paris baguette. Loved how Starbucks was walking distance across the street. The valet guys were absolutely amazing. The front desk workers were extremely nice! I would have to say it was probably the best San Antonio trip we’ve had, and we have had a lot! My only complaint is Valet parking for overnight is absolutely ‘outrageously overpriced’. $60 to valet a car plus tip is insane but… That’s my only complaint. I have absolutely nothing to complain about as far as the hotel goes.

Absolutely gorgeous new hotel in the heart of downtown. Very attentive and friendly staff across the board. Wonderful drinks and light dinner in their beautiful lobby bar where everyone went the extra mile. We'll come back to San Antonio JUST to stay here.

What a beautiful hotel! It has been a while since we stayed at the Gunter, and it has been completely remodeled. Everything was comfortable and clean. The coffee/tea kettle was something new, as well as a record player and a jazz album.

This place is steeped in history and has an actual vinyl library with a very knowledgeable librarian where you can check out records to listen to in your room.

They remodeled the hotel so they break the room in 1/2. Nice concept but uncomfortable; too small.
