Wedding venues are available with options such as crystal chandeliers and a dance floor. The hotel is undergoing Phase Two of "The Alamo Master Plan," with restorations in progress.

“The Menger Hotel stands as a testament to San Antonio's rich history, immediately adjacent to the Alamo; its Victorian-era architecture and continuously operating status since the 19th century create a truly unique experience. While some rooms might feel compact, the hotel's charm lies in its historical significance and proximity to the River Walk, along with engaging activities and its outdoor pool. In my opinion, this is a good option for history enthusiasts and families looking for an immersive stay.”
