The Crockett Hotel

Built in 1909 as a lodge for members of The Three Link Fraternity, Crockett Hotel is as much of a San Antonio icon as the legendary folk hero it is named after. Ideally situated just a stone's throw from the Alamo, where Davy Crockett made his defiant last stand in March 1836, the hotel rests on what was formerly a battleground, earning it and the surrounding area a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Taking its heritage and the eponymous "King of the Wild Frontier" to heart, the Crockett Hotel infuses Texas's independent spirit into the guest experience by offering warm, personalized Southern hospitality and introducing travelers to the best that the area and state have to offer.

From the painstakingly restored original architectural details to the bird's-eye views of the Alamo out of guestrooms' genteel plantation shutters to the local artistry displayed throughout, this historic San Antonio hotel is imbued with a true sense of place. The comfortably appointed guestrooms and suites underwent an expansive renovation in 2007, ensuring each offers a relaxing retreat after a day of adventures. For a true Texan experience, guests also will not want to miss the hotel's newly opened restaurant, which dishes up hearty regional fare like smoky barbecue and flavorful Tex-Mex.
