Founded in 1718 when the Mission San Antonio de Valero, later known as the Alamo, was established, this remarkable city’s past is evident in the architecture and culture throughout the city. It is home to five UNESCO World Heritage Sites comprised of four mission complexes in the beautiful Missions National Historical Park. The Alamo mission is the fifth UNESCO site and is a short, 6-minute walk from the Hilton Palacio del Rio. Since its founding, San Antonio has developed into a vibrant center for art, dining, and revelry.

San Antonio has seemingly endless options for those looking to experience the city’s culture. Around the corner from the hotel is the Briscoe Western Art Museum, where the stories and traditions of the American West still live. Venture north to browse the San Antonio Museum of Art or catch a show at the historic Majestic Theater. Neighboring our hotel is the La Villita Historic Arts Village, a restored Spanish village. It is a must-go place for handmade goods and dining.

A foodie’s dream, San Antonio’s food scene is influenced by many cultures, designating it a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy. Be sure to hit one of the San Antonio Food Trails for tacos and BBQ. If you’re feeling thirsty, drift down the Margarita Trail. The conference welcome reception will be hosted at the historic Maverick Distillery, just steps away from The Alamo.
