San Antonio is a destination many visit on their way to Austin or the Hill Country , yet few stay and enjoy the city itself except for a quick trip to the legendary Alamo . For those who do , here is what a perfect day in this top-tier Texan town could look like , one enhanced by the SELECT benefits you receive for booking through our agency .
Pearl District
Front drive of Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort

2:45 PM

7:31 PM
Since you ’ re smack-dab in the middle of cowboy country , you decide to learn more about the regional culture at the Briscoe Western Art Museum . The Great American West is on full display in this fascinating collection of pistols , stagecoaches , Native American relics and engaging artworks . Each piece tells a story of the rough-and-tumble cowboy life , stories you will long remember after you leave .

5:14 PM

Next , explore one of the city ’ s up-and-coming neighborhoods , the Pearl District . Named after the historic Pearl Brewery , this eclectic area is now filled with historic buildings , trendy restaurants , gift shops and art galleries . On this perfect day , you first catch a literary reading by a local author at the Twig Book Shop , followed by a craft beer at the Boiler House .
As you appreciate the unique soul of the city , you decide to dine at Restaurant Gwendolyn , San Antonio ’ s most unique dining establishment . This farm-to-table hotspot has a decidedly historic twist : All appliances used to make the food are pre-industrial , meaning they had to be around in 1850 . As such , the fare — made without electricity using Victorian-era techniques — is all sourced within a 150-mile radius and handmade to culinary perfection .

9:47 PM

End the night back at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort , where it ’ s time to take advantage of the 50 USD resort credit you received for booking this SELECT hotel through our agency . Inspired by the wild West of the area , you head to Charlie ’ s Long Bar , home of the longest copper-topped bar in Texas , and end the day sipping local tequila while sitting on cowhide-covered bar stools , tossing your peanut shells on the floor and still smiling from your perfect day .
