Today, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, a key component of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, reveals the forthcoming Summer 2024 debut of InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk. Rising 21 stories high, this remarkable property promises breathtaking vistas and comprises 390 rooms, including 20 suites. Boasting 18,000 square feet of meeting space, a Club InterContinental lounge, and four distinct dining and drinking establishments, it is set to redefine hospitality in the heart of downtown Riverwalk. Situated within close proximity to the bustling Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, guests will enjoy seamless access to both the iconic pedestrian promenade and a water taxi-landing zone.
Taking the reins as General Manager is Stefan Gruvberger, a seasoned hospitality professional with nearly three decades of global experience. With a track record of leadership across various hospitality landscapes, Gruvberger is poised to enchant guests and locals alike with authentic, culturally immersive experiences.
“InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk will bring a fresh take on luxury to the dynamic and diverse city of San Antonio,” Gruvberger says. “Our property will bring world-class accommodations, modern amenities and innovative design to guests while forging a deep connection to the local community through unique programming, transformative experiences and more,” he added. “It truly will be the best of both worlds.”
With over 18,000 square feet of versatile meeting and event spaces, InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk offers a range of stunning venues, from intimate boardrooms equipped with cutting-edge A/V technology to an expansive 8,000-square-foot ballroom boasting 18-foot ceilings and flexible configurations, all with panoramic views of the San Antonio skyline. The property is adorned with luxurious amenities, including a state-of-the-art 1,800-square-foot fitness center, Les Clefs d’Or concierges offering unparalleled local knowledge, valet parking services, house cars, dry cleaning, shoeshine services, childcare assistance, and a sophisticated Club InterContinental lounge.
Developed by Trailbreak Partners in collaboration with Scarlett Hotel Group, this hotel introduces a new level of worldly luxury and refined atmosphere to the locale. Designed by Leo A Daly in collaboration with IHG’s internal design team, the aesthetic draws inspiration from classic film icon Joan Crawford and the glamour of Hollywood’s golden era, seamlessly blending mid-century architecture and furnishings with elegant finishes. Plush velvet furniture in vibrant hues contrasts with a neutral palette, while brass, marble, dark wood, cognac leather, and glass accents enrich the space.
In partnership with Heartwood Hospitality, InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk will feature four distinctive dining and drinking venues, including an American brasserie on the ground floor, a vibrant rooftop pool and cocktail oasis on the third floor, an all-day café and coffee shop, and a luxurious lobby bar boasting an extensive cocktail menu.
The highly anticipated opening in summer 2024 is part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ extensive development pipeline in Texas, encompassing 15 new properties across eight brands catering to various stay categories, from lifestyle to luxury, premium, essentials, and suites. This milestone also underscores InterContinental Hotels & Resorts’ legacy of over seven decades in pioneering luxury travel to new and emerging destinations.
