Known as a city of rich history, San Antonio’s infrastructure has been woven through centuries. Included is a luxury line-up of historic hotels, many celebrating their 100th and 150th anniversaries in 2009. In 1909, San Antonio was reaping the rewards of success from local breweries and monumental railroad growth. This inspired much of the city’s development, building a foundation of captivating architecture that has helped craft a destination like no other. These historic hotels lie within mere blocks of one another and are a short walk from the Alamo, River Walk, shopping, restaurants and the charm of downtown San Antonio. They are ideal for one-of-a-kind events, meetings and intimate getaways.
San Antonio River Walk Expansion Leads Nation in Urban Ecosystem Restoration
In extending its famed River Walk from two to 13 miles, San Antonio will undertake the nation’s largest ecosystem restoration in an urban area. Already a leader in the reuse and repurposing of buildings, conservation of historic sites and preservation of architectural feats like the city’s five Spanish colonial missions, this latest environmentally friendly endeavor highlights San Antonio’s vision to preserve its natural landscape, distinguishing the city as a place that invests in the generations to come.
The portion of the River Walk extension earning this acclamation is a nine mile stretch that will connect the original River Walk with four of San Antonio’s Spanish colonial missions to the south. Scheduled for completion in 2014, this bucolic addition will have an emphasis on ecotourism and historic preservation. The restoration will offer serene, natural environments, an enhanced aquatic habitat, over 20,000 new trees and acres of native landscaping. Features will also include trails for hiking and biking.
Currently, the River Walk runs through downtown along the spring-fed San Antonio River, connecting thousands of hotel rooms with riverside restaurants, shops, theaters and historic sites. It’s one of the nation’s most culturally rich and diverse locations. In May 2009, the first phase of the River Walk extension will be complete, extending an additional two miles north linking the San Antonio Museum of Art and the eco-friendly Pearl Brewery redevelopment area. With a total investment of $345 million, the San Antonio River Improvements Project provides immense potential for further economic development.

The house that was purchased is ideal in terms of location and luxury. The AP is less than ten minutes from Randolph AFB and is a mere 2.5 minute walk to Borders Bookstore/coffee shop and the convenience of the Forum shopping center. The AP hosts an impressive technological interior and upper scale features to make your TDY more enjoyable.
