The renovation of the onetime Wyndham San Antonio River Walk is still on. The owners, Scarlett Hotel Group (SHG) and Trailbreak Partners, have taken a little more time than they first thought. they’d need. The San Antonio Business Journal says a lot of that has to do with the fact that instead of spending $50 million on the rework, they are spending $158 million on the upgrade. The renovations on the now-closed hotel should take until the end of 2024.

The renovation, much larger in scope than initially planned, will reposition the 391-room, 21-story tower as a luxury destination hotel under the InterContinental San Antonio brand.  

The transformation will include the build out of more than 40,000 square feet of new meeting, restaurant and bar space, as well as a mix of luxury rooftop amenities. The hotel, which opened in 1958 as an office tower, will have direct access to the River Walk and a river taxi landing area.
