White Lodging opens the Kimpton Santo Hotel, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio. The inspiration behind Kimpton Santo’s name stems from the soulful essence of San Antonio’s namesake, Saint Anthony, along with the history of the land on which the hotel resides.
The property, complete with four food and beverage outlets, creates a new culinary destination alongside the 347 luxury guestrooms and rooftop pool that melds the rich history of the area with premier service and modern amenities. Kimpton Santo’s guestrooms include 16 suites and more than 13,000 square feet of event space, including two ballrooms and an outdoor atrium.
Kimpton Santo is situated in the heart of San Antonio’s burgeoning arts and business communities. Situated on the border between Downtown and Southtown, Kimpton Santo merges a 19th-century historic German-English schoolhouse with sleek, ultra-modern rooms and amenities. Complementing South Alamo Street’s reposition as an upscale destination, the bauhaus-inspired interior was designed by KTGY and celebrates the materials and textures of San Antonio’s cultural confluence by mixing German, Hispanic and modernist roots. Upon arrival, guests will experience vintage craftsmanship fused with modernist touches and Spanish-inspired décor.
Eight guest suites are built within one of the historic buildings, complete with stone-clad walls and semi-private patios overlooking a historic courtyard shaded by century-old oak trees. Another historic building was recreated into Kimpton Santo’s signature restaurant, Dean’s Steak & Seafood.
The restaurant has a two-level dining room with 207 seats, an oyster bar and a specially curated private wine room.
