June in downtown San Antonio comes alive after dark. Evenings last a little longer, the River Walk shines under the city lights, and music drifts through the streets, setting the tone for a weekend worth remembering. The Gunter Hotel puts you right in the heart of it all.

Set on East Houston Street in downtown San Antonio, our hotel is the perfect home base for cocktails, live entertainment, nearby performances, and one last nightcap before calling it a night.

A Hotel with Music in Its Walls

With its rich musical history celebrated into every corner, our hotel offers more than a place to stay it offers an entire experience! From design-forward spaces and in-room record players to the vinyl library and music-inspired suites, the hotel’s legacy can be felt throughout. Before heading out for the night, take a moment to soak it all in. Every hallway carries a story, a rhythm, and a little sound from another era.

Settle Into the Weekend

Check into one of the newly renovated rooms or suites, sink into plush bedding, cue up a record, and let the night begin. Each space blends contemporary comfort with historic character, featuring thoughtful touches like complimentary Wi-Fi, mini refrigerators, premium bedding, D.S. & Durga bath amenities, and in-room record players that bring the hotel’s musical soul to life.

For group getaways or celebratory weekends, the suites offer extra space to gather, get ready, and build the excitement before stepping out into the city!

Start the Night With Flavor

When it is time to sip and savor, the night can begin downstairs. The hotel’s dining experience brings bold flavors, craft cocktails, and warm Texas hospitality together for the evening. Jots, our hotel’s signature restaurant, serves contemporary American cuisine with locally inspired flavors within an elegant and inviting setting. From cocktails to dinner, Jots brings an effortless sense of occasion to a night in downtown San Antonio.

The second half of June brings even more reasons to gather at Jots. From June 22 through to June 29, Benson Week adds a playful, pet-friendly twist with a “Buy One Adult Entrée, Get a Free Dog Entrée” offer. Then, on June 25, Paws on the Patio invites guests to meet adoptable dogs from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in partnership with Animal Care Services.

Together, these June happenings add even more energy to a weekend at The Gunter, giving guests new and exciting ways to dine, celebrate, and connect with the local spirit of downtown San Antonio.

The San Antonio area guide highlights nearby favorites including the Majestic Theatre, located across from the hotel, along with the Tobin Center for Performing Arts, Stable Hall, the Alamodome, and the Frost Bank Center.

The second half of June brings even more to experience, with nearby performances including Riverdance 30: The New Generation, Art Garfunkel, Rick Ross performing live with The Renaissance Orchestra and Sainted Trap Choir, and Ali Siddiq at the Majestic Theatre.
