San Antonio, with its world-famous Riverwalk, Alamo, and numerous cathedrals and missions, is one of Texas' most popular tourist cities. It's also quite the draw because of SeaWorld, which resides on the outskirts of Northwest San Antonio. The SeaWorld area features a number of quality hotels in which guests of the park can stay.
Hyatt Regency Hill Country
This hotel, located only a mile from SeaWorld, is almost an attraction in itself. In addition to 500 comfortable rooms in a posh Hill Country ranch setting, the Hyatt Regency Hill Country features a four-acre water park, 27-hole golf course, fitness center and spa. Each room comes with its own private balcony, while the hotel also features an on-site cafe, grill and pool bar.
