Frommer's "Not to be confused with the Fairmont luxury hotels, this is a small San Antonio original, independently owned and one of a kind." Full review
Fodor's "At the pinnacle of boutique, luxury hotels in San Antonio, it offers premium amenities such as flat-screen TVs, canopy beds, verandas, marble baths, and a courtyard with a fountain." Full review
Lonely Planet "Small and unassuming. You could almost walk by and miss the exclusive digs at the Fairmount. Good thing, too. Who wants others to notice?" Full review
Michelin Guide "A small jewel of dark-red brick, carved limestone and elaborate pediments, this ornate ltalianate railway hotel was built in 1906 and moved six blocks and across a bridge in 1985."
Gayot "The 74 guest rooms and suites maintain the historic atmosphere while catering to the needs of modern travelers with amenities such as complimentary Wi-Fi."
Frommer's "The rooms, decorated in period style and furnished with antiques, vary a great deal, but most are of comfortable size and have lovely marble bathrooms. " Full review

The whole family can have fun at the waterslide's ice-cream-sundae classes, basketball and sidewalk chalk sessions while others may choose to stroll the 1-mile nature trail filled with quarry rock, native plants and other Texas wildlife.
Gayot "Rolling hills set the scene for this destination resort. The setting is a favorite with golfers for its scenic, Arnold Palmer-designed course, the first in South Texas."

Fodor's "Make a list of the things you'd look for in a luxury, full-service resort, and La Cantera has it." Full review
Frommer's "Grander and more upscale than the other resorts on the outskirts of San Antonio, La Cantera is a magnet for golfers, shoppers, lovers, girlfriends seeking a luxe getaway—and families who can afford it (along with a variety of kid-friendly features and programs, the resort’s partnership with BabyQuip means you can rent high-quality cribs, strollers, and other gear on-site)" Full review
Lonely Planet "Standard rooms are elegant but on the small side, so you'll enjoy this resort most if you're willing to get out." Full review
