About this venue
Sítio El Tropicano was the first hotel built along the San Antonio, Texas's famed River Walk and, since it opened in 1962, has been the city's gathering place and wedding venue.
For six decades, El Tropicano shaped the social and cultural life of this city. Now reimagined for 2026 and beyond, the legacy continues — with the spaces, the service, and the spirit that made it an icon in the first place.
