Getting to San Antonio

Thank you in advance for making the trip to San Antonio!

Many airlines serve the San Antonio airport. Southwest is the most common carrier, followed by Continental, American, and Northwest Airlines. Other options include Frontier, Delta, United, and Midwest Airlines.

For those flying from the New York area on Saturday, unfortunately the one non-stop flight recently changed and does not arrive until too late in the evening for travelers to make the rehearsal dinner. However, there are several one-stop choices.

Also, JetBlue flies direct to Austin from some cities. Austin is about an hour (and easy) drive to San Antonio.

The airport is only about 10 miles from the Downtown/Riverwalk area, where most of the festivities will take place. Taxis from the airport should run about $20. SA Trans Airport Express shuttles drop off at various downtown hotels for $14 (but the shuttle trip can take up to 45 minutes).

We will update this site later with more information on what to do in San Antonio, which is a popular destination for visitors to Texas.

Hotel Reservation Information

Hotels book fast in San Antonio, and we already know of one very large convention in town the same weekend as the wedding, so we encourage you to make your reservations soon.

We have organized group blocks at a few hotels, all near or on the Riverwalk. For each of these, please mention the Spitzberg/Shedroff wedding to receive the group rate. Most of these rates are only available until January 15.

• The block at the Westin Riverwalk is almost sold out. The Westin is where the wedding will take place, so it is certainly a convenient option! The group rate of $189 may no longer be available; remaining rooms are $239 a night. Please call 1-888-627-8396.
• We also have rooms at the Sheraton Gunter, which is a good value at $159 a night. The Gunter is about four blocks from the Westin. Their number is 1-800-325-3535.
• The Hotel Contessa (1-866-435-0900) is a new and well regarded all-suite hotel on the river right next door to the Westin. Our room rate is $199 (and up).
• And finally (for now), the Hawthorn Inn & Suites (210-529-1700) is a budget hotel about one mile away from the Westin. Their rooms are $129 a night.
