Luxury Healing Hotels JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa
23808 Resort Parkway, San Antonio, TX 78261, United States
HOTEL OVERVIEW
Look, I’ve stayed at my fair share of Texas resorts, but the JW Marriott Hill Country actually surprised me – and honestly, that’s saying something because I went in with pretty high expectations. The moment you pull up that winding drive on Resort Parkway (which, by the way, feels like you’re driving into some kind of Texas fantasy with all those oak trees), you get why this place has that 8.5 rating. It’s not trying too hard to be fancy, but there’s this immediate sense that they’ve thought about every detail.
The location is what really gets me though. You’re technically still in San Antonio – I mean, you can hit downtown in about 30 minutes if traffic’s decent – but you feel like you’ve escaped to actual Hill Country. And I don’t just mean the marketing version of Hill Country, I’m talking about that rolling terrain where you can actually see stars at night and hear… well, not much of anything except maybe some distant music from the resort’s outdoor areas. The spa situation here is legitimately good too, not just one of those hotel spas where they’ve stuck a massage table in a converted conference room. They’ve got this whole sanctuary thing going on, and after spending a day exploring the River Walk or dealing with San Antonio heat, you’ll appreciate having a proper place to decompress. What I really respect is how they’ve managed to feel upscale without being stuffy – the staff actually seems to enjoy working there, which you notice in little ways like how they remember your coffee order or don’t make you feel weird for wandering around in resort casual clothes.
Here’s the thing that’ll probably matter most to you: this place works whether you’re trying to get away from everything or you’re using it as a base to explore. The rooms are solid (good AC, thank god, because Texas summers are no joke), parking is easy and free, and they’ve got enough on-site stuff that you don’t have to venture out every single day if you don’t want to. The pool area gets busy during peak times – weekends and school holidays especially – but even then it doesn’t feel overcrowded. And honestly? For a 4-star property, they punch above their weight. I’ve stayed at places with more stars that felt way more corporate and soulless. This one manages to capture that authentic Texas hospitality thing without laying it on too thick with the cowboy kitsch. If you’re looking for a place where you can actually relax but still have access to San Antonio when you want it, this is your spot.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights for our honeymoon. We originally booked a regular king room but on check-in, we were lucky enough to be helped by Caitlin, who upgraded us to a suite on the ground floor! We were thrilled and loved the room - especially the bathtub and the private patio. We were also very happy to be in a quiet wing of...

My son loved the water park
Philip from United States
We loved everything about or stay. The property was beautiful, rooms and all amenities were fantastic. The onsite restaurants were all wonderful, and really went out of their way to accommodate a food allergy. We cannot say enough about how great every member of the staff was.

The room where we slept was comfortable.
