The background
According to a news release, the hotel—now owned and operated by White Lodging—reopened initially with limited in-room services for guests, but the full suite of services will be open to everyone in March.
White Lodging officials are marking the launch of the enhanced hotel by offering a 24% discount for spa appointments scheduled for March that are booked in advance during the first week of the hotel’s opening—now through Jan. 25. Reservations are accepted at www.spaplazasanantonio.com.
Digging deeper
In addition to a resort-style pool, Plaza San Antonio contains more than 21,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor venues, including a nearly 6,000-square-foot ballroom, all designed to accommodate an array of activities, the release states.
Plaza San Antonio Hotel and Spa also features two restaurants and bars, Corinne San Antonio and Anaqua Garden Bar.
Led by Executive Chef Joseph Krauss, Corinne San Antonio serves weekday breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as weekend brunch and dinner with dishes focused on classic American food influenced by South Texas and Gulf Coast cuisine. Hotel officials also said Corinne has a cocktail and wine program.
Named after the property’s historic 42-foot-tall Anaqua tree, Anaqua Garden Bar looks over the hotel’s outdoor pool and is surrounded by greenery, the release states. Anaqua features a Latin-Asian fusion food menu, botanical-inspired cocktails and a curated soundtrack of easy listening music, hotel representatives said.
