Travel
Alright, alright, alright. Let’s talk Texas.
First off, we want to say a big thank you to everyone planning to travel to Texas for our wedding. About 90% of our guest list is coming from out of state and we just want you all to know how much we appreciate you! We hope you are just a pleasantly surprised by San Antonio as we were!
Getting here
The easiest airport to fly to would be San Antonio International Airport (SAT)!
Sometimes it can be more difficult to get to San Antonio directly if you are also coming from a smaller airport. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is a great alternative and less than a ninety minute drive from San Antonio.
Transportation
This really depends on what you would like to do while you’re in town!
If you’re looking to explore more of San Antonio and Texas Hill Country, we recommend renting a car. There will be parking options around the ceremony (public parking) and the venue (private lot).
If you are flying into San Antonio directly and don’t want to get a rental car, Uber/Lyft are very accessible and reasonably priced. The airport is about a 20 minute drive from downtown and the ceremony and venue are about a 10-15 minute drive from each other.
Where to stay
Our hotel blocks are listed below. All block rates will expire 4 weeks prior to the wedding date, so please book prior to this. If you would prefer alternative accommodations, we recommend staying within the general vicinity of downtown!
AC Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk
The AC Hotel is located in downtown San Antonio and is just a block away (2-minute walk) from San Fernando Cathedral, which is where the ceremony will be! It is about a 14-minute drive from McNay Art Museum, which is where the reception will be.
It is also home to one of our favorite rooftop bars called 1Watson if you are looking for a place to relax between the ceremony and reception!

Hilton Palacio del Rio
The Hilton Palacio del Rio is located in downtown San Antonio directly on the River Walk! It is about a 10-minute walk from the church and a 13-minute drive from the reception.
We recommend staying here if you want to experience all the touristy things downtown San Antonio has to offer! It is just a 5-minute walk from the Alamo and La Villita Historic Village. It's just steps away from the Arneson River Theater where Miss Congeniality filmed the famous "perfect date" scene.

Thompson San Antonio – Riverwalk, by Hyatt
The Thompson is a luxury boutique hotel located along the River Walk, just north of downtown. It is a 17-minute walk (5-minute drive) from the church and a 13-minute drive from the reception.
It is also located along our favorite part of the River Walk! We walk Kona past the Thompson multiple times a week. It is quieter than being in downtown and about a 20-30 minute walk from the Pearl and you can stop at some of our favorite bars and restaurants along the way! It is also home to another gorgeous rooftop bar called The Moon's Daughter!

We stayed at a Thompson in Austin and loved it! Its pricey but definitely worth the cost if it's in your budget.
