New Marriott San Antonio Airport Hotel Offers Elevated Hospitality Experience

Leading the revitalization of San Antonio’s airport corridor, the Marriott San Antonio Airport Hotel has opened. The urban oasis is ushering in a new era of local gathering spots, meeting spaces, event options and guest rooms.

Located just four minutes from San Antonio International Airport and central to everything there is to see and do in the city, the stunning hotel will serve as a gatehouse for travelers, as well as a retreat for the neighborhood locals looking to relax and unwind.

The redevelopment, led by The Bricton Group and The Gettys Group Companies, positions Marriott San Antonio Airport to be the new anchor of San Antonio’s airport meeting and hospitality scene. In addition to a newly reconfigured layout, the 367-room hotel also includes:

• More than 15,000 square feet of flexible event and meeting space
• A grand ballroom (La Cantera), junior ballroom (Alamo Heights) and 19 flexible meeting spaces — ideal for groups of all sizes
• Spaces that unite indoor and outdoor environments with the Pearl Boardroom and Alamo Heights Ballroom opening up to the outdoor terrace
• A state-of-the-art fitness center
• Communal tables that offer plug-and-play technology to work and collaborate
• An outdoor pool terrace for meetings and events
• An elevated lounge for Marriott Bonvoy members
• Signature indoor-outdoor bar, AGAVE 210, flanked by a glass window garage door to enjoy a breezy afternoon with signature cocktails and Southwestern-inspired cuisine for lunch and dinner.
• The grab-and-go Agave 210 Market
• Top-tier event catering
• Breakfast buffet
• & much more

“This marks the third major deep-turn redevelopment of a Marriott full-service asset that The Bricton Group has overseen and managed,” said Edward J. Doherty, president & CEO of The Bricton Group. “The other two are award-winning hotels and we look forward to this one being equally as successful. The Bricton culture is based on recruiting and training top team members and San Antonio carries on that tradition. Guests at Bricton-managed hotels can expect best-in-class service and we look forward to providing that quality and level of service to the San Antonio community.”

Natural light throughout the hotel — from the expansive Great Room, to the meeting spaces, and into the fitness center—will refresh guests. The hotel’s interiors by global interior design firm, The Gettys Group Companies, are inspired by interlacing patterns; bright colors; and textures from San Antonio’s parks, neighborhoods, and the rivers of Texas which give the hotel an organic and tranquil atmosphere.

“Our goal was to create a sense of place in the Marriott San Antonio Airport Hotel that captured the culture and community of San Antonio,” said Andrew Fay, president of The Gettys Group Companies. “The story of San Antonio has inspired every design decision within the hotel: the textures, lighting, and colors. Even the event spaces have been named after esteemed San Antonio neighborhoods: La Cantera Ballroom, Pearl Boardroom, Alamo Heights Jr Ballroom, Hill Country Conference Center. All of this makes the urban renewal of this special property an extension of who San Antonio is and what the city has to offer.”

The hotel’s signature bar, AGAVE 210, will soon become everyone’s favorite after-work happy hour spot. The indoor-outdoor bar, flanked by a glass window garage door, makes the hotel a perfect location to enjoy a breezy afternoon on the terrace or sit poolside with a drink in hand. The bar will offer signature cocktails as well as Southwestern-inspired cuisine for lunch and dinner.

“We are delighted to once again be partnering with The Bricton Group to deliver an outstanding project, bringing elevated-offerings to the San Antonio market,” said The Gettys Group Companies Chairman and CEO Roger Hill.

“Adaptive reuse of an existing building requires a unique skill set and we are delighted with the outcome – a new, state of the art hotel that aligns so beautifully with the city of San Antonio’s sustainability policies,” added Doherty. “We are thrilled that Marriott entrusted us to deliver what will be a ‘crown jewel’ in the San Antonio hospitality market.”

Marriott San Antonio Airport has hired 90 employees to date and will employ 120 people when fully staffed.
