La Cantera Hill Country Resort to Undergo Major Transformation
July 10, 2014
La Cantera Hill Country Resort, managed by Destination Hotels & Resorts, has committed to a multimillion-dollar transformation that will affect the entire footprint of the 250-acre facility in San Antonio.
Many months of planning have resulted in a comprehensive renovation strategy for the resort to meet the needs and expectations of both business and leisure visitors to the San Antonio area. Changes include the construction of a new, freestanding destination spa, an extensive reconfiguration of the front entrance, lobby and lobby bar, and a complete redesign of the San Saba Courtyard including a new event lawn. A junior ballroom, expanded meeting and convention space, redefined restaurants, bars and lounge concepts, and contemporary pools and family areas also are included in the most extensive reshaping of the resort since its opening in 1999. The hotel currently offers 39,000 sf of indoor/outdoor function space.
“This substantial upgrade will allow the resort to enhance its spectacular setting and the exceptional amenities guests have come to expect,” said Destination Hotels & Resorts President and COO Jamie Sabatier. “It also will continue to position La Cantera Hill Country Resort as a world-class destination.”
The resort will suspend overnight accommodations and restaurant operations during the major phase of construction from November 3, 2014 through early April 2015. The award-winning golf courses, the Resort Course and the Palmer Course, will remain open and operate as usual during the renovations, as will their respective clubhouses and adjacent event venues.
