San Antonio consistently ranks as a top tourist destination. Our city received big-time exposure during the NBA postseason with the San Antonio Spurs making it to the Finals and celebrities and basketball elite descending upon us.
The Spurs clinched the Western Conference title, which is commemorated with a special cover inside, and gave fans a glimpse of the future.
For many visitors, it was their first time to experience our beautiful city and welcoming hospitality. They found what many locals also rediscovered when they made the trip downtown to go honking after each win – after years of construction, San Antonio is ready for exploration.
Most of the cones have cleared, revealing new hotels, public artwork, restaurants and more. Our staycation guide gives you an overview of new spots to stay, play and soak in the summer, preferably poolside with an ice-cold beverage.
Like many of you, I am frequently asked about where to celebrate special occasions or where take guests from out of town. You can find all of that and more in this issue, whether it’s a local getaway, a day trip to nearby swim spots and spas, a tour to explore public art, or a night out to discover new flavors at the many restaurants and bars featured.
You will want to hang onto this issue. It’s a keeper.
