Flanked by towering palms and luscious landscaping, the Holiday Inn El Tropicano Riverwalk hotel offers an escape to a tropical paradise. Located in downtown San Antonio, the hotel is designed with a South-of-the-Border flair, paying homage to the city’s deep historical and cultural roots. From first entrance to the hotel, the Latin-inspired theme is clear: The lobby features intricate mosaic glass tiles of Acapulco blue and Caribbean green, and Mexican artwork hangs from the walls. Even the lobby music fits the décor, so visitors can tap and clap along to Latin music and beats while they check in and out.

Set in the heart of San Antonio, El Tropicano Riverwalk offers guests easy access to a host of area attractions. Strolls along the city’s lovely Riverwalk are just a step outside the hotel doors, and other nearby points of interest include the Alamo, River Center Mall, Market Square, the San Antonio Missions and the city’s Botanical Gardens and Zoo. For the adventurously-inclined, the heart-stopping rides of Six Flags Fiesta Texas are only a short drive away. The Tower of the Americas offers an entertaining afternoon for visitors seeking quieter thrills, as the top of the tower features panoramic city views from an open-air, rotating observation deck. Just below lie the Tower lounge and restaurant, and on the ground floor sits the Skies Over Texas 4D Theater, a multi-sensory theater experience with state-of-the-art technology. The Blue Line Trolley stops just in front of the hotel and runs directly to downtown sites like the Tower and the Alamodome.

After a day of sightseeing, guests to this downtown San Antonio hotel can enjoy comfortable accommodation in fresh, spacious rooms. The modern décor speaks to simple sensibility, and convenient amenities include cable television, coffee makers and microwaves and refrigerators in suites.

The Holiday Inn El Tropicano Riverwalk hotel offers a list of services to fit the needs of any guest or traveler. A large fitness center encourages guests stay in shape even while on vacation, and the outdoor pool and sundeck offers space for tanning and relaxation. An on-call massage therapist is also available upon request. At night, guests can indulge in Latin- and American-inspired dishes at Mangos Restaurant, and the Tiki Bar hosts live entertainment every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights. If a trip to the San Antonio Zoo doesn’t fit into the vacation, guests can still do a bit of animal watching from the hotel aviary, where two toucans, a tortoise and a pair of iguanas reside.

The Holiday Inn El Tropicano Riverwalk hotel’s central location and convenient services make trips to the San Antonio area easy and entertaining. With all the shops, restaurants and galleries of downtown just blocks away, exploring the city is as easy as a walk outside the lobby doors.
