Hotel Valencia bills itself as "contemporary chic". That's a good description. Located on the famed San Antonio Riverwalk, this is a REALLY GOOD HOTEL. Rooms are large, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. Very contemporary. Common areas are trendy, chic, cool without taking it too far. Beds were very, very comfortable. Morning coffee (complimentary in the lobby) was excellent. Service was very... more

Extremely well-appointed hotel, with impressive lower lobby area boasting a nice waterfall feature that helps you forget its stifling hot and unbearably humid outside. Liked this hotel a lot. Very understated luxury, with slightly dimmed lighting to give it a cosy feel. Room was very nice and comfortable. Only here for one night, but was wishing I was staying for... more

This hotel is decorated nicely and has a very modern feel to it. I booked 4 nights at the beginning of June 2009 for a conference. The service was excellent. I also enjoyed a nice cocktail at the bar one evening. This hotel is in a good location to get to the riverwalk. The only thing that I did not... more

I stayed at the Hotel Valencia for a business conference. The location was terrific, the River Walk was just around the corner. Rooms were quiet and comfortable. Internet access was fast & there was plenty of working room. We had the conference catered by the hotel. The food was fabulous & the staff was very attentive to our needs. I... more

Waterfalls and candles everywhere. Top rated restaurant and chic nightclub.Beautifully modern decorated rooms with all the comforts of home. And... more

Having stayed at the San Jose Valencia I had high expectations, I was VERY disappointed.............. I overnight in hotels from 100 to 150 nights a year. My worst experience in well over a year. Not a lot more to say. more

Stayed here for a week business trip. The hotel staff was wonderful and always asking if they could help you. The bathroom robe and bath towel were large and heavy, just the way I like them. No Pool. Rooms were too dark as were the hall ways. Great access to Riverwalk and it's plethora of restaurants. This was one of... more

Given the positive reviews on this site and the hotel's inclusion in the American Express Platinum Card Fine Hotels program, I expected a very comfortable stay. However, I was sorely disappointed in my stay at the hotel and will not return. First, the decor is dark--not chic, just depressingly dark. The hall is so poorly lit that I felt unsafe... more

Spent a Monday and Tuesday night at the Valencia Hotel this month. Since the stay was part of an Expedia flight+hotel package, I was not sure what to expect. What a pleasant surprise! The interior of the hotel is decorated like no other I've been to - having stayed in a few of the large chain hotels when visiting San... more
