Grand Hyatt San Antonio
“Deep in the Heart” is the slogan of the city of
San Antonio, location of the National Association of
Elevator Contractors’ (NAEC) 65th Annual
Convention & Expo on September 8-11. Those who
attend will find themselves not only deep in the
heart of Texas, but also deep in the heart of the
River City, where they are only steps away from San
by Kaija Wilkinson
Antonio’s abundant natural beauty, Tex-Mex cuisine
and rich history. The host hotel is the Grand Hyatt San
Antonio, adjacent to expo venue, the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. The hotel is described by San Antonio
Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) spokeswoman Sara Gruber as an ideal location for experiencing classic San Antonio.
She observes:
“One of the best things about the Grand Hyatt is that it is on the River Walk, in historic downtown, so it is within walking
distance of numerous attractions, including the Alamo, Hemisfair Park, (historic arts community) La Villita, the Briscoe
Western Art Museum, Market Square and the San Antonio Children’s Museum.”
While the convention center is in the midst of a several-hundred-million-U.S.-dollar expansion, the River Walk has also
recently grown. A project that extended it from 3 to 15 mi. was completed in October 2013. Winding along the San Antonio
River, the River Walk is a great place to get some exercise or just stroll to one of the nearby shops, restaurants or bars. Barges
provide river-taxi service and tours. A couple of eateries near the Hyatt where people may sample traditional local cuisine
are Boudro’s (www.boudros.com), known for handmade prickly pear Margaritas, and Mi Tierra (www.mitierracafe.com),
notable for its Tex-Mex atmosphere, art and cuisine that includes breakfast served 24 hours a day and traditional entrées
such as baked goat.

Mi Tierra is located in Market Square (www.sanantonio.gov/marketsquare),
a historic shopping area that includes more than 100 shops and is home
to the largest Mexican marketplace outside of Mexico. It is a great place
to pick up a unique piece of artwork or that perfect souvenir, such as a
papier-mâché piñata, a piece of pottery or traditional Mexican candy.
While out and about, visitors are advised to dress light. During
September, the city’s daily high temperature ranges from 86 to 92°F with
lows of 65 to 73°F. “We say San Antonio offers over 300 days of sunshine a
year,” Gruber says, adding that, despite proximity to water, “we are not a
particularly humid destination.”
For those who want to get a glimpse of San Antonio in one fell swoop,
NAEC organizers have arranged an optional walking tour (not
associated with the CVB) from 8:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Monday,
September 8, for which tickets must be purchased in advance. The tour
includes the Alamo, a look at the River Walk from a river barge and
Market Square. Those not participating may want to opt for a golf
tournament planned that day at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Golf
Club (hillcountry.hyatt.com/en/hotel/golf.html), one of the city’s
nationally acclaimed golf courses that boasts diverse terrain and lush
foliage on more than 200 acres. The tournament fee includes cart, green
fees, transportation, continental breakfast, beverage cart during the
event, prizes and lunch. For the complete agenda and prices, visit www.
naecconvention.com.
Perhaps San Antonio’s most well-known landmark is the Alamo (www.
thealamo.org), which traces its beginnings to the early 1700s, when the
site served as one of several Spanish missions providing religious and
practical training for Indians. In the 1800s, the Alamo was the site of
intense, bloody battles that proved pivotal in shaping Texas history and
pride. Now one of the most popular and recognized tourist destinations
in the U.S. and world, it has been transformed into a museum displaying
artifacts that chart the area’s history from early Indian days to modern
times.

Downtown is also home to the King William Historic District (www.sanantonio.gov/historic/Districts/King_William.aspx). It
consists of grand mansions in the Victorian, Renaissance and Greek Revival styles, built mainly by wealthy German
immigrants. Tours of the mansions offer a glimpse of opulent 1800s life.
Transformed into a public park after the 1968 World’s Fair for which it was built, Hemisfair Park, visible from the Hyatt, is
home to the Tower of the Americas (www.toweroftheamericas.com), a 750-ft.-tall observation tower in the style of Seattle’s
Space Needle, offering tours, spectacular views and fine dining in a slowly rotating restaurant at its top. The Chart House has
a happy hour, during which gourmet appetizers and martinis may be purchased at a bargain for US$5 and US$7,
respectively.
With both legendary attractions and new ones that continue to evolve — including museums, theme parks and a
world-class zoo — San Antonio is a great destination for adults and children alike. For complete information about all the city
🌐
has to offer, visit the CVB website at visitsanantonio.com. Precision Escalator Products....................................................... 0643
