About the Resort
“Everything is better in Texas” and that goes for the La Cantera Resort and Spa in San Antonio, Texas. Inspired by world-famous King Ranch in South Texas, the lobby décor is a nod to the ranch’s “Big House.” Rustic furnishings, warm colors, and the spirit of hospitality all harken to the legacy of the “Big House.”
One of the premier luxury resorts in San Antonio, La Cantera reimagines its ranch roots through 496 rooms, 34 boutique-style Villas, and an exclusive adults-only floor, SEVEN. Overlooking 550 acres of The Texas Hill Country, La Cantera has become one of the most sought after San Antonio resorts.
Until hotel bookings are available explore all the resort has to offer and the surrounding area.
The TLMI discounted rate for the La Cantera Resort is $329 and expires February 14th, 2025. Attendees will receive a link to book their stay in their event confirmation email. Please note you must register for the event before booking your stay. Reach out to events@tlmi.com for any questions.
