Former Air Force Base Turns Embassy Suites

SAN ANTONIO

Embassy Suites by Hilton announced the opening of a newly-built hotel in San Antonio. Embassy Suites by Hilton San Antonio Brooks Hotel & Spa is currently the only full-service hotel on the south side of San Antonio, where guests can easily access the San Antonio River Walk or the San Antonio Missions.

The 156-room Embassy Suites by Hilton San Antonio Brooks Hotel & Spa is located at the former Air Force Base, Brooks. It spans 1,300 acres of preservation land and has been redeveloped into a live, work and play community. The hotel restored the historic Hangar 9 building, the oldest wooden aircraft hangar of its kind still standing in its original location. It is currently available for business events and special gatherings.

In total, the hotel offers over 20,000 square feet of meeting and event space.

In addition to Embassy Suites by Hilton's traditional amenities, this property is also home to regionally influenced Nineteen17 Restaurant and Bar, featuring locally sourced menu items, providing a true farm-to-table experience. The full-service bar, named after the year the former base originated, features local beer and spirits, classic cocktails, a curated boutique wine list and live music from local talent.

The property also has a full-service spa and offers a therapeutic salt cave for inhalation therapy.

The Embassy Suites by Hilton San Antonio Brooks Hotel & Spa is about 11 minutes from the Alamo and downtown San Antonio, and 25 minutes from San Antonio International Airport.
