The Monarch is a beautiful building and experience. The staff in particular Bethany at the desk, and apologies if I misremembered this, Armando the bellman were so welcoming and helpful during our stay. The attached restaurants set a new standard in my mind for hotel restaurants, Dinner and breakfast both at Aleteo were culinary highlights of our trip. Oak and Amber’s hamburger and tallow fries were an unexpected delight as well and left me wishing we had time for another full dinner on this trip to try more of their menu!
The hotel itself is located just a block away from access to the riverwalk, less than 10 minutes from the Alamo, and right on the Hemisfair park meaning an easy stroll was all it takes to enjoy local scenery, tourist attractions and historic San Antonio.
