About the hotel:
The hilltop site of a former limestone quarry in the scenic Texas
countryside is the unique locale for The Westin La Cantera Resort, San
Antonio — the ambience of a remote country inn, plus resort
luxuries and a dash of Lone Star character.
The peaceful rural backdrop is ideal for a round of golf, poolside
lounging, some tennis, or a spa visit. For a change of pace,
explore San Antonio and the surrounding Hill Country for historic sights, exciting
theme parks, great shopping, and more.
Rooms and suites in warm, earthy colors with rustic details in wood and classic wrought iron
recall the great ranches of historic Texas.
Dr. Craig Daniel, President
