Well, what're you waiting for? Scroll through our list of the best romantic hotels in San Antonio, and start planning your visit.
For an Urban bolthole

- Hotel Contessa is smart, sexy and stylish. One of the most romantic riverside hotels in San Antonio, the classy rooms afford gorgeous views of either the city skyline or the riverwalk, and the walls are adorned with modernist art. Plus there's al fresco dining, a rooftop pool and a pampering spa.
Properties with a Latin twist

- Omni La Mansion del Rio has a winning formula for romance: classic, stylish rooms with sink-into beds, and balconies, all set within a 19th century Spanish villa overlooking the Riverwalk. Add to that the pool, superb restaurant, world-class spa and movie nights, and you've got one of the most romantic hotels in San Antonio.
- Hotel Havana is one of the most romantic boutique hotels in San Antonio, and definitely one of the coolest. The cosy, latin-chic decor of the rooms and the retro furnishings give it a faded, bohemian look. The intimacy of the restaurant, set in an old greenhouse overlooking the river, is magical. And the hotel bikes are a great way of gently meandering through the city.
For a chic Apartment

- For something more intimate, Sonder Pearl District is a good place to start. These smart, modern, self-contained apartments give couples the seclusion they need for a weekend away. The rooms get plenty of light and the living areas are snug; some apartments come with a balcony, and all have access to the pool.
- For couples wanting a taste of the city, book a self-contained suite at Sonder Southtown Apartments. Set in the uber-hipster King William District, with its craft breweries and fancy restaurants, it's a plush and intimate affair, with more of a rustic flair than its Pearl District cousin. The rooftop terrace and the pool is a welcome addition.
For a B&B

- For something truly beautiful that doesn't break the bank, Noble Inns is the one to book. The three seperate houses are elegant and traditional (the oldest dates back to 1857). Rooms come with polished hard-woor floors topped with lovely rugs, antiques, fireplaces, four posters and terraces in a leafy garden overlooking the river. Intimate, warm and refined, and one of the most value-chic romantic hotels in San Antonio.
- Inn on the Riverwalk specialises in lazy mornings, long afternoons and cosy evenings. A 100-year-old, laid-back B&B with a traditional-yet-chic decor, painted in pastel sky-blue; each room comes with a spa bath, and you can borrow charming vintage bikes from the hotel. The bridal suite is perfect for honeymoons.
For a Spa Break

- For a romantict spa break we recommend the Mokara Hotel & Spa. The spa itself spans over 17,000 square feet, and all the elegant, cream-white rooms come with pversized or spa baths. Then there's the rooftop cafe, restaurant, oyster bar and secluded, serene rooftop pool.
