    Our suite was spacious, beautifully appointed, very comfortable. The location was also outstanding, a very short walk to all of the major attractions & points of interest in San Antonio. The hotel has two restaurants connected. We dined at Nonna Italian restaurant, the food was absolutely outstanding, wait staff was very delightful. Honestly, some of the best Italian food I have had. We did not have an opportunity to try the steakhouse. I do have a few suggestions that I think would make an already wonderful hotel even better. The espresso coffee maker in our suite was tucked inside a small, dark cabinet area, making it difficult to see and operate. Unfortunately, the machine did not function particularly well, I did bring this to the front desk's attention. Also, the seating arrangement in the suite was lovely, the television was difficult to view comfortably from the sofa, a swivel/pivot mount would make a significant difference. One additional suggestion to make better use of the outdoor patio area. The hotel is missing an opportunity here. Some comfortable outdoor seating, perhaps a few couches & a fire pit would create a place for guest to relax & enjoy a glass of wine.

    The room was clean, spacious, and very nice. The location was great, short walk from the center. The staff was friendly. Small detail, but the TV did not allow for screen mirroring. And at arrival, the valet asked me if I was sure that I was at the right hotel, which felt strange.

    Beautiful hotel in a great location. Close to all the main San Antonio attractions. The room was super clean. The only issue we had was the bedroom at night seemed warm even though the AC was working. We wondered if the airflow just wasn’t as good back there as the front living area. Besides that, everything else was perfect.

    Overall experience was great! Super hospitable staff and great rooms. Restaurants and bar are great as well. Only thing that wasn’t the best was there was somebody’s used underwear in our room right when we got in 😅 was hoping for some explanation but the staff just went by and picked up the underwear and left. Hopefully this isn’t the norm here!

    my wife and i have been coming here for years, we love the history of the hotel and the staff we especially like that we can just go down stairs to our favorite restaurant nonna, and when we've had a busy day we can hangout at rooftop bar, we love that they have valet with secure parking we just call the front desk and by the time we get to the lobby the truck is waiting for us the rooms were great especially after the remodel but the days we stayed it had rained the night before we showed up which made the room very humid and made the bed sheets damp. if they can get dehumidifiers for the rooms it would help out a lot. that's my only complaint other than that we love it!

Highly recommend the quaint, boutique hotel for your get-away to San Antonio - you won't find a better location.

    We arrived late & was welcomed by wonderful and much needed Valet-then Miss Sarah gave us a quick description of every aspect of the hotel. As my husband was walking she grabbed the luggage car & pushed it herself-walked us to our room. She is a jewel! Made us feel sooo welcomed ! We walked to the 4th floor where we delighted in the beautiful view & had a drink. Then we headed to dinner @NonnaOsteria-where the recommended lobster Ravioli & sweet moscato was Perfect! And the staff was Welcoming & Attentive ! We had a day out breakfast at a nice cafe 5 min walk from hotel, park in front of hotel for those of you that have children. The day we spend IN SA-to return to have dinner with my daughter @SiloPrme—right there in the hotel. Piano playing, amazing food-ribeye, pork chops & salmon -nothing disappointed us! Atmosphere. Service, Ambience-was Amazing !!! All through out our quick 2nighy stay we chatted in between with Ryan & Rachel at the downstairs bar-where they made us feel like we knew eachother for years and had on the spot drinks -you have to try the Sangria! I say all of this to say book here ! You will not be disappointed ! Bed was soooo great, SUPER CLEAN room, set up-I don’t think I missed anyone -but wanted to say Everyone was amazing ! Grateful we found this place-definitely will be back !

Loved the big shutters and the balcony. The LaVillita village and entrance to the riverwalk were 1 block away so it was a very short walk. We had our 5yr old granddaughter with us and she loved the park across the street. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go so never needed our car the whole time. We will definitely stay here again!

The complimentary items in the room including the Nespresso machine and pods were a nice addition. The architecture of the building and the craftsmanship of the interior of the building were all very impressive. The views from the rooftop bar and terrace made for a wonderful evening.

The service was impeccable, and we felt so welcomed and pampered throughout our stay. The Fairmount Hotel continues to be our home away from home, and we’ll be returning year after year. Room 312 was just perfect, with beautiful views and all the little touches that make it special. Thank you to the entire team at the Fairmount for another amazing weekend.
