'This Hill Country gem sits atop an ancient limestone quarry, offering sweeping views of downtown San Antonio and championship golf that rivals any resort in Texas.'
What's Special?
Built on a former limestone quarry site, La Cantera features two championship golf courses designed by Arnold Palmer and Tom Weiskopf. The resort's elevated position provides panoramic views stretching 20 miles, while its proximity to The Shops at La Cantera makes it a shopping destination. The 50,000-square-foot Loma de Vida Spa incorporates local limestone and desert botanicals into its treatments.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Request a room on floors 4-6 facing southeast for the best sunrise views over downtown San Antonio, especially stunning during the autumn months when the Hill Country foliage changes.
Don't Miss
The Palmer Course's signature 7th hole, carved directly into the original quarry walls, and sunset cocktails at the resort's Limestone Terrace. Visit the nearby Natural Bridge Caverns (15 minutes away) - these underground formations were discovered in 1960 and feature 60-foot limestone bridges formed over 10,000 years ago.
