Following the completion of construction along South Alamo Street, Kimpton Santo San Antonio–Riverwalk and Plaza San Antonio Hotel & Spa, the only Autograph Collection hotel in the city, are hosting six weeks of immersive summer activations celebrating the reopening of the corridor that runs along the hotels’ respective front doors.
Located at the intersection of downtown and Southtown, the neighboring luxury lifestyle hotels are collectively positioning the surrounding area as the Arciniega District, a vibrant destination rooted in history, culture, culinary experiences, and elevated hospitality.
With the reopening of South Alamo Street, both properties are fully reconnecting guests and locals to one of San Antonio’s fastest-growing hospitality corridors. This new District is a walkable dining collection spanning Plaza San Antonio Hotel & Spa and Kimpton Santo San Antonio–Riverwalk. It includes five distinctive restaurants, bars, and rooftops all connected by walkable pathways and historic courtyards.
Starting May 28 through July 5, the activation series will feature rooftop experiences, poolside celebrations, curated culinary events, wellness programming, and nightlife activations designed to showcase the renewed energy of the district.
