The Monarch San Antonio, part of the Curio Collection by Hilton, is a 200-room, 17-story boutique hotel located in the Hemisfair District of downtown San Antonio. It is set to open in early 2026 and is inspired by the Monarch butterfly that migrates through the region each winter. The hotel will feature a full-service spa, a terrace pool, and five food and beverage concepts, including a rooftop restaurant and bar.

Just steps from the iconic River Walk and The Alamo, The Monarch will offer more than a place to stay. It will be a place to belong, to connect, and to be inspired.

At The Monarch San Antonio, our purpose is expressed through service – gracious, genuine, and unforgettable. Much like the city we call home, we believe in honoring tradition while embracing modern elegance. Every detail, every interaction, and every experience is designed to reflect the spirit of San Antonio and the dignity of service.

As we prepare to open our doors, we are building a team dedicated to excellence, passionate about hospitality, and driven by purpose. Together, we will create exceptional moments and lasting impressions for every guest who walks through our doors.
