Elite Overview
From the editors of Elite Meetings
La Cantera Resort & Spa overlooks Texas Hill Country and San Antonio from 550 acres on one of the area’s highest points. The lofty location is well-suited to a resort widely recognized as an ultimate destination for meetings and corporate events. The property got a total transformation in 2015, adding meeting space and enhancing its outdoor and public spaces, pool decks, and guest rooms. Everywhere, the project heightened the sense of relaxed sophistication.
For meetings, La Cantera’s 55,000 square feet of indoor space ranges from an executive boardroom to the 17,088-square-foot San Antonio Grand Ballroom, which opens onto a terrace facing the sunset across the fairways. The new La Cantera Ballroom expanded the options with 9,234 square feet of flexible space, while an additional 60,000 square feet outdoors includes the Plaza San Saba, El Fortin Lawn, Emily’s Rose Courtyard, and City View Terrace with stunning views of the Hill Country. Among the unique team-building options are barbecue competitions, wine blending, and scavenger hunts.
Outstanding dining choices range from sophisticated to casual, including Signature, Inspired by Chef Andrew Weissman, and Grille 254, a new sports bar that offers made-from-scratch food along with local craft beers. Also available are charcuterie, poolside snacks, and authentic Tex-Mex from Primero Cantina. Recreational highlights include 36 holes of championship golf; adult and family-friendly swimming pools; a 25,000-square-foot, indoor/outdoor destination spa, Loma de Vida; shuttle service to luxury shopping; and Six Flags Fiesta Texas theme park just down the road.

I can't speak highly enough about the resort and the staff. Not only is the resort beautiful and the views breathtaking, but the customer service is exceptional. The food is delicious, the spa is great - and about to be even better with their renovation. I would highly recommend this property to a meeting planner or an individual looking to stay in San Antonio.

Attended the September EMA event and the highlights were the planner's reception on the Palmer course, the pool party and the Longhorns & Lagers event. Staff was very attentive and Janica & Yamaira went above and beyond expectations.

The hospitality here is through the roof. Love all the different types of locations on property. The adult pool is absolutely perfect. So many exciting things to come including a new ballroom and spa. Can't wait to see the complete finished product!

We had our company's Family Marketing Meeting at the Westin La Cantera in June of 2010. Our group ranged from seniors to small children and everyone came away from that event with wonderful memories. The weather was nice, food was authentic Tex-Mex and the service was exactly what was needed to accommodate my 130 guests.
I would recommend anyone who has a passion for golf to look at this hotel. My group of financial advisors play golf religiously and raved about the 2 courses on site. Different skill levels to accommodate the pro golfer and the beginners.
