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.
