The Monarch San Antonio<\/a>, which opened in March and is part of the Curio Collection by Hilton, is a luxurious landing pad<\/a> in the middle of downtown. It overlooks Civic Park at Hemisfair and is steps from La Villita and the River Walk.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Look: <\/p>\n

Nods to the migrating monarch butterfly<\/a>, the inspiration for the space, designed by locally based Overland Partners, carry throughout the sculptural lobby and the hotel\u2019s three restaurants. They can even be found in small design elements like the whimsical sloping headboards in the two hundred guest rooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\tThe Fare:<\/p>\n

Aleteo<\/a>, the posh rooftop restaurant and bar with sweeping views, offers a Yucat\u00e1n-inspired menu and a mezcal-heavy cocktail list. Off the lobby, Oak & Amber<\/a> serves traditional high-end steak and seafood. Grab a coffee and croissant at Nectarie Cafe<\/a> on the way to your morning river stroll.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Indulge with a spa service followed by a dip in the third-floor plunge pool.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The Pro Tip: <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a happening location, so opt for a lower-level Hemisfair-facing room to avoid both River Walk noise and tunes traveling down from rooftop entertainment.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The Rate: <\/p>\n

Rooms start at $282 a night.<\/p>\n
