Welcome toThe Gunter Hotel San Antonio RiverwalkThe Gunter is a hotel beyond historic—it’s legendary.
For over 116 years, it has been where San Antonio has celebrated moments big and small, and it’s easy to see why. Both timeless and ahead of its time, every square inch is designed to inspire. Its architecture hails from an era when people expected to be awed. The Gunter’s kitchens boast a smorgasbord of culinary hits and have a longstanding history of soul in a city known for good eating. When it comes to nightlife, it is anything but sleepy—the Studio Bar, Lobby Bar, and Speakeasy stay open late for conversations that just don’t want to end.
And just steps from all the best sites in the city, guests won’t have to worry about the walkin’ blues. Speaking of, only at The Gunter can visitors trace the footsteps of history to Room 414, where Robert Johnson changed music forever and a new sound was born. Echoes of an energetic past buzz around every corner, with colorful stories filling all 12 floors. The Gunter has welcomed legendary artists, musical pilgrims, and curious seekers—and perhaps soon, you. Whether stopping in for a drink or a weekend, guests will find everything they need to craft a legendary evening in the center of everything.
Our landmark hotel is currently under renovation through Spring 2025 and will join the Tribute Portfolio as a destination that inspires the creator inside of all of us. Feel the creative spirit of musical legends pulsing through this place and get ready to compose your own story.
Jots Restaurant at The Gunter Hotel captures the warmth and ease of Texas with locally inspired flavors and a timeless, welcoming atmosphere. Honoring Jonathan “Jot” Gunter, a visionary behind the hotel, it’s a place where creativity and great food come together. Guests can also indulge in fresh-baked pastries at our cafe and bakery, Paris Baguette, or unwind with craft cocktails at the Studio Bar, Keystone Lobby Bar, and hidden 414 Speakeasy. With over a century of history, The Gunter offers a dining and nightlife experience as legendary as its past.
