San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter


Marriott Rivercenter is a hotel located in San Antonio, Texas, USA. At a tip height of 546 feet, the 38-floor hotel is the tallest building and second tallest structure in the city. It is also the tallest hotel in Texas outside of Dallas. Its roof height, however, is 441 feet, 3 feet shorter than the Weston Centre.
The hotel, which was completed in 1988, is located across the Riverwalk from the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center and overlooks the Rivercenter lagoon, an expansion branch of the famous San Antonio River Walk. The hotel is connected to the Rivercenter Mall at two levels and has direct access to the Riverwalk. The building was designed by RTKL Associates and is intended to emulate the twin bell towers of Mission Concepcion or the Cathedral of San Fernando.
The hotel is currently owned by Host Hotels and Resorts, along with the neighboring property Marriott RiverWalk located directly across Commerce St.
Both properties are managed by Marriott International.
