Hotel & Travel

Come early or stay late & plan to have a little fun in San Antonio!
The HSMAI staff team is always on the lookout for unique and memorable experiences. Whether you’re a history buff, foodie, or just looking to explore, here are some of our favorite recommendations:

  • Step Back in Time at Camp Hotwells: Once a bustling bathhouse fueled by natural hot springs, Camp Hotwells is now a fascinating cultural and historical site. It’s a place where the past and present meet, offering a quirky, off-the-beaten-path experience that reflects San Antonio’s character.
  • See San Antonio Come Alive: Every evening at 9 pm, the San Fernando Cathedral becomes the canvas for “The Saga,” a beautiful 24-minute light show. The vibrant projections tell the story of San Antonio’s history in a way that’s both moving and magical.
  • Visit the Iconic Alamo: No trip to San Antonio is complete without a stop at The Alamo. This historic mission and battle site offers a window into Texas’s fight for independence and is a must-see for first-time visitors.
  • Explore the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park: For a deeper dive into the region’s past, the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park—designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site—showcases four Spanish frontier missions. It’s both educational and beautiful, especially if you enjoy walking or biking between the missions.
  • Shop and Savor at Historic Market Square: Known as the largest Mexican market in the U.S., Market Square is full of color, flavor, and energy. From authentic Mexican food to artisan crafts, it’s the perfect place to shop for souvenirs and soak in the local culture.
  • Wander the Pearl District: If you’re looking for a trendy spot to eat, drink, and explore, the Pearl is the place to be. Once a historic brewery, it’s now home to award-winning restaurants, boutiques, and a lively weekend farmers market.
