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
