Visit San Antonio Newsletter - Winter 2007 - (Page 1) A Newsletter for Meeting & Travel Professionals Winter 2007 Rendering of the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa San Antonio’s Top Resorts are Making Ground-Breaking Announcements! San Antonio’s beautiful Hill Country resorts are a draw for meeting and leisure travelers alike. And with some “ground-breaking” announcements, the San Antonio resort scene will be offering an even bigger destination package. San Antonio breaks ground on the new JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa. The JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa will make its grand entrance in 2010. This highly anticipated, 1,002-room property will take advantage of Hill Country views while offering convenience to the airport and downtown cultural attractions like the Alamo and River Walk. Though with 138,000 square feet of meeting space, a six-acre water park, enticing dining options and two Tournament Players Club golf courses designed by Pete Dye and Greg Norman, you may find it hard to leave the JW. And if that is not enough, the JW will also indulge guests with a 26,000 square foot spa complete with a fitness center, lagoon-like pool, spa café, specialty shop and 30 treatment rooms (some outdoors and others with pacifying fireplaces). Be among the first to experience the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa at jwsanantonio.com or call 210-403-3434. The Westin La Cantera Resort is about to double in size under their soon-to-be new owner Gaylord Entertainment. As a leading hospitality and entertainment company based in Nashville, TN, Gaylord Entertainment is planning an estimated three-year, $250 million expansion that will bring the resort to approximately 1,000 rooms and 160,000 square feet of meeting space. Gaylord plans to complete the expansion in 2011. Currently, this property boasts 500-plus rooms atop one of San Antonio’s highest points. Its most celebrated features are the Castle Rock Health Club and Spa (known for some of the best massages in town) and award-winning golf courses. Make a tee time at the 18-hole Resort Course (home to the PGA Tour’s Valero Texas Open) or the Palmer Course (designed by golfing legend Arnold Palmer), though you may discover that lavish linens and amenities can make retiring to your room just as enjoyable. At this elevated locale, more than 39,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor space is available for meetings and events. Additionally, a 3,200-square-foot terraced pavilion provides panoramic views of the city lights. These breathtaking scenes encompass downtown San Antonio as well as the Texas Hill Country. Make a stop at neighboring theme park Six Flags Fiesta Texas Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa or delight in retail therapy at the outdoor Shops at La Cantera where you will find first class shopping with Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. The Westin La Cantera Resort has received acclaim from Condé Nast Traveler as one of “The 100 Best Golf Resorts in the World,” for 2007, as well as a spot on their 2007 Gold List for “The World’s Best Places to Stay.” Additionally, Golf Magazine has presented them with the 2007 Silver Medal Award. Take a tour at westinlacantera.com or call 210558-6500. It’s another award-winning year for the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa. At the top of the list are honors from Condé Nast Traveler, who named the resort as one of “The 100 Best Golf Resorts in the World,” for 2007; Meetings and Conventions with their prestigious Gold Tee Award; and Celebrated Living American Airlines, naming the Hyatt as one of the top 10 family resorts in America for 2007.
