Established in 1859 by William and Mary Menger on Alamo Plaza, the Menger Hotel is the oldest continuously operating hotel west of the Mississippi and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975. The hotel began as a two-story, fifty-room property built to house guests of Menger's adjoining brewery, and grew through a series of additions, including the 1881 acquisition by Major J.H. Kampmann, who added new wings and the hotel's famed cherry-wood bar, modeled after the taproom of London's House of Lords Club. That bar, now known as the Menger Bar, is where Theodore Roosevelt recruited his Rough Riders, and it remains a centerpiece of the hotel's Victorian-era lobby, filled with museum-quality artifacts and Renaissance-revival detailing from a 1909 renovation. Just off the lobby, the Spanish courtyard garden offers palm trees, blooming azaleas, and a three-tiered fountain, alongside a heated pool described as the largest in San Antonio. For weddings and private events, the hotel's Grand Ballroom and Minuet Room anchor a set of eleven event spaces, from the crystal-chandeliered Grand Ballroom with its adjacent poolside terrace to the Minuet Room's Victorian fireplace, dance floor, and French doors opening onto the courtyard. Catering and bar service are handled in-house. Positioned directly on Alamo Plaza, steps from the River Walk, the Menger Hotel blends more than 160 years of San Antonio history with its downtown setting.

Housed in the former Lone Star Brewery on the San Antonio River, the San Antonio Museum of Art occupies a complex built between 1895 and 1904, its twin towers and crenellated parapets still marking the site on Jones Avenue. The brewery closed during Prohibition and later served as a cotton mill, ice factory, and auto repair shop before falling into disrepair; museum director Jack McGregor rediscovered the building in 1971, and philanthropist Nancy Brown Negley helped lead the effort to convert it. Following a $7.2 million renovation by Cambridge Seven Associates, the museum opened to the public in 1981. Today the museum spans more than twelve acres and holds nearly 30,000 works of art representing six continents and more than 5,000 years of human creativity. The museum evaluates a limited number of private event rentals each year, offering planners a singular downtown location, historic buildings and grounds, proximity to the San Antonio River, and access to its art collection for weddings, corporate functions, and other gatherings.

If you're planning a special occasion, the American Airlines CR Smith Museum is an excellent choice. You may use it for a business reception, private celebration, wedding ceremony or reception, charity fundraising, awards ceremony, breakfast meeting, team building event, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, and many other types of events. Because it opened its doors in 1993, the CR Smith Museum has provided a vibrant learning environment in which exhibitions and educational activities excite and engage visitors of all ages. Through hands-on, immersive experiences, it contributes to increasing the general public's awareness of commercial aviation, airline operations, and the broader impact of flying and air transportation on our global society. While the Museum's collections, special exhibitions, and educational programs are the primary means by which these subjects are illustrated, the Museum also uses its collections, special exhibitions, and educational programs to educate school children and teens, families, and life-long learners about the science, technology, and history of aviation in general, and the history of aviation in the Dallas/Fort Worth region specifically. While the history and accomplishments of American Airlines are the primary means by which these subjects are illustrated, the Museum also uses its collections, special exhibitions, and The Museum is dedicated to serving as a primary resource for education in North Texas, and in order to accomplish this, it places science and social studies learning in a historical context by relating and illustrating the accomplishments of the airline industry in the region, as well as human stories of creativity and technological advancement, among other things. With exhibits that relay the current and historical achievements of the men and women involved in revolutionizing the aerospace industry with an emphasis on the contributions of those associated with American Airlines, the Museum has created a platform that illustrates the science behind flight and space exploration; infuses science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education through entertainment throughout the galleries; and inspires the next generation of scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. History comes to life at the Museum, as do scientific principles that are readily comprehended. It is a superb illustration of why museums have emerged as one of the most successful methods of offering informal education, particularly to kids in pre-kindergarten through grade 12. A powerful social environment for learning and support for schools and teachers as they strive to meet the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) curriculum. Through hands-on, activity-based exhibits and programs, museums have been shown to spur creativity and innovation as well as improve empirical thinking, communication skills, and literacy in students of all ages. Museum visits are enjoyable, lead to measurable increases in motivation among those who attend, particularly children, and introduce and encourage students' interest in careers in the subjects of their collections – in this case, the aviation industry – through their exhibits and educational programs, among other benefits.
