OMNI SAN ANTONIO HOTEL AT THE COLONNADE ^{* * * *}

San Antonio, Texas, is a romantic city with a strong Spanish influence. It offers many activities and a lively nightlife. One must-see is a boat trip on the River Walk, where you can admire the lush landscapes, stone bridges and cypress-lined cobblestone paths. You'll also find plenty of stores, bars and restaurants offering exceptional Tex-Mex cuisine, grilled meats, traditional Italian fare and contemporary southwestern fare. Another of the city's landmarks is the Alamo, where 188 Texan defenders held out for 13 days against more than a thousand of General Santa Anna's soldiers in the fight for freedom. Today, the Alamo houses exhibits on the Texas Revolution and Texas history, with artifacts such as a Bowie knife, Crockett's buckskin jacket and a rifle used to defend the fort. San Antonio is a unique tourist destination offering the perfect combination of history, culture and entertainment.
