The Texas General Land Office, the investment firm Rockbridge, and the Alamo Trust announced the purchase of the nearby Menger and Crockett Hotels. The Alamo Trust says it is doing this to protect the Alamo’s historic grounds. Rockbridge is a hospitality-centered investment firm that acquires, develops, designs, capitalizes, operates, and optimizes hotels.

The Alamo Trust says that bringing the hotels into the fold of the makeover of Alamo Plaza ensures the hotels are thoughtfully integrated into the broader Alamo experience. A new visitor center and museum is set to open in 2027. The museum will include a theater with simulated smoke, sparks, and rumbles to tell the battle story.

The Alamo Trust, which directly oversees Alamo operations under the state land office, reports that the hotels stand on land that once formed part of the agricultural fields of Mission San Antonio de Valero, the 18th-century Spanish mission now known to the world as the Alamo.
