Rodeo season brings a different kind of energy to San Antonio. The city feels louder, prouder, and a little more playful, with boots on the sidewalks, music in the air, and events that stretch from day into night. It’s a time when tradition meets celebration, and downtown becomes the perfect place to take it all in.

At the center of it all, The Gunter Hotel offers a stay that lets you be close to the excitement while still giving you space to slow down when it’s time to unwind. With its historic charm, thoughtful amenities, and a limited-time Rodeo Retreat offer, The Gunter takes the stress out of rodeo season so you can focus less on planning and more on enjoying every moment.

Why Rodeo Season Feels Different in Downtown San Antonio

San Antonio’s rodeo season is more than a single event. It is a citywide moment that blends music, culture, food, and community pride. Days are spent exploring events, performances, and local gatherings, while evenings invite casual dinners, cocktails, and live music.

Staying downtown keeps everything within reach. From The Gunter, it is easy to head out for rodeo festivities and just as easy to return to a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere once the day winds down.

The Rodeo Retreat at The Gunter Hotel

To celebrate the season, The Gunter Hotel is offering an exciting Rodeo Retreat package, designed for guests who want to lean into the spirit of the weekend. The offer includes a discounted room rate, valet parking for $40, two signature cocktails, and a Rodeo Ready Kit filled with fun, festive goodies inspired by the season. It’s a package designed to make arrival feel like part of the celebration, setting the tone before you even head out the door.

Whether you are planning a weekend centered around rodeo events or simply want to experience the city while it is at its most festive, the Rodeo Retreat adds thoughtful extras that feel personal rather than overdone.

To book, guests simply select the offer during the booking process.

Evenings That Feel Effortless

After a full day at the rodeo, The Gunter’s on-site spaces make it easy to either keep the evening going or wind down at your own pace.

JOTS San Antonio Kitchen offers a welcoming setting for dinner, whether you’re sharing plates and conversation or enjoying a quiet meal before heading back out. Bar 414 provides a relaxed setting for cocktails, conversation, and live music on select nights, making it a natural gathering point without the crowds.

The beauty of staying at The Gunter during rodeo season is flexibility. There’s no need to choose between a late night out and a good night’s rest—both feel completely within reach here.
