San Antonio Oasis
The Westin La Cantera in San Antonio, Texas, welcomed guests in the midst of a $10 million renovation in February. Completed public meeting rooms and 200 of the 508 guest rooms are now decked out in South Texas Spanish Colonial elegance and open to visitors. The remaining 308 guest rooms and 17,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom, which began renovations in September 2008, are on schedule for completion this spring.
Adding to the renovation challenge is the 2009 Valero Texas Open. The Westin La Cantera is scheduled to host the tournament for the second year in a row in May. The Palmer Course and The Resort Course are the two premier courses at the resort. Both were designed by noted golf course architects and provide a combined 107 holes of championship golf.
The La Westin Cantera Resort also features six pools, health club and spa services, tennis courts, fine dining, three hot tubs and flexible meeting space. The resort received Conde Nast Traveler’s 2007 “Gold List,” Conde Nast’s “Top 100 Resorts for 2008,” and Golf Magazine’s 2006-2007 “Silver Medal Resort Award.”
