Turn a night at San Antonio’s iconic Majestic Theatre into a memorable downtown getaway at The Gunter Hotel.

Located directly across from the theatre, The Gunter puts you just steps from the excitement. Arrive early, settle into your room, and get ready for the evening at your own pace, without worrying about traffic, parking, or the drive home.

After the final curtain, there’s no need to rush. Keep the evening going with a drink, enjoy the energy of downtown San Antonio, and retreat to the comfort of your room just moments away.

Where music and live performance have been part of the hotel’s story for generations, a weekend centered around the Majestic feels right at home. Stay close to the stage, linger a little longer, and make the entire evening part of your San Antonio experience!

Give the Show the Weekend It Deserves

The best theater nights often begin long before the lights go down. Check into our rooms and suites, unpack, and make getting ready part of the occasion! Our hotel’s newly renovated accommodations combine contemporary design with details that connect guests to the creative and historical character of the property. With 311 guest rooms, including 30 suites, offering a range of accommodations, from intimate Artist Lofts to specialty suites named after musicians and bandleaders connected to the hotel’s rich musical history. It creates a stay with more personality, turning an overnight visit into part of the experience rather than simply a place to sleep after the show.

Instead of rushing downtown for the evening, guests can arrive early, settle in, get ready at their own pace, and simply walk across the street when showtime approaches. That short distance makes the entire evening feel more relaxed, effortless, and enjoyable.

Dine Before the Show at Jots

Make dinner part of the occasion before heading across to the Majestic. Jots offers a dedicated Pre-Theatre Dinner Menu, giving guests an easy way to enjoy a thoughtfully prepared meal before showtime. See our full menu below:

The menu features a choice of starter, main, and dessert, with options such as San Antonio Shrimp Cocktail, Pan-Seared Alaskan Salmon, Bordeaux Braised Short Ribs, Mushroom Gnocchi, Grilled Citrus Pound Cake, and Charred Peach Cheesecake.

With our restaurant Jots located right inside The Gunter, guests can enjoy dinner without adding extra travel time to the evening. Settle in over a pre-show meal, then simply step outside and walk across to the Majestic when it is time to take your seats. It is an easy way to turn dinner and a performance into one seamless downtown San Antonio experience.

Walk Across to the Majestic

The Majestic Theatre is just steps from The Gunter, making it easy to keep the performance at the heart of the evening. There is no need to worry about extra travel time, parking, or rushing through downtown. Simply step outside, walk across to the theatre, find your seats, and enjoy the show.

For couples, it is the perfect excuse to turn tickets into a memorable date-night escape. For friends, it makes a concert, comedy show, or performance feel like the start of a full weekend away. Even San Antonio locals can enjoy downtown from a different perspective when there is no need to head home as soon as the show ends.

Best of all, once the final curtain falls, the evening does not have to end.

Find the Second Act at Bar 414

Walk back into our hotel after the performance and let the evening shift from the stage to one of The Gunter’s most distinctive spaces.

Bar 414 takes its name from Room 414, where blues artist Robert Johnson held his first recording session in November 1936. Today, the speakeasy pays tribute to that history with craft cocktails, wine, and an intimate atmosphere rooted in the hotel’s musical identity.

For a theater weekend, it feels like the perfect second act.

Live Music at Bar 414 brings local artists and entertainment into the hotel throughout the month. Instead of leaving one performance and immediately calling it a night, guests can return for another round of live music in a completely different setting.

The transition is part of the experience: grand theater first, followed by intimate cocktails and local music afterward.

Make Wednesday Its Own Kind of Performance Night

Guests arriving midweek have another reason to listen. Studio Lounge Sessions take place every Wednesday, pairing live performances with a relaxed atmosphere inside The Gunter’s historic setting. A theater-focused getaway does not have to revolve around a single ticketed event. The music can continue inside our hotel, where live performance is part of a much larger story.

The connection is genuine. Robert Johnson’s 1936 recording session remains central to The Gunter’s musical legacy, while the hotel continues to celebrate creativity through its music programming and recording culture. The property also features The Studio, a professional creative space conceived as a modern continuation of that heritage.

Let the Night End Upstairs

Perhaps one of the greatest luxuries comes at the end of the evening. No parking garage. No long drive. No need to cut the evening short. When the final song ends, your room is waiting just upstairs.

That is what transforms an ordinary theater night into a true getaway. There is time for one more conversation, one more cocktail, and a slower ending to an evening that was worth dressing up for. The Majestic may provide the ticket, but The Gunter gives the occasion somewhere to unfold before and after it.

With the theater just across the street, Studio Lounge Sessions bringing live performance into the hotel, Bar 414 carrying San Antonio’s musical story into the night, and our guestrooms waiting only an elevator ride away, a night at the theater becomes something much more memorable for the weekend!
