HiltonHilltop golf resort
The resort crowns one of San Antonio's highest hills, laid out like an expansive Texas ranch with wide country views.
What it’s good at
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
It’s hard to pinpoint this resort’s exact type, but needless to say, it does a good job of catering to everyone.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The open-air Shops at La Cantera sit just down the hill, alongside roller coasters at Six Flags Fiesta Texas.
The rooms
Rooms look out across the hills and fairways. Bathrooms on the adults-only SEVEN floor have walk-in rainfall showers.
The spa pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor heated pool sits on the hillside outside the spa, bordered by private cabanas and sun loungers.
The spa and pool
Spa treatment rooms open onto private patios, and fire pits warm the Topaz infinity pool terrace at dusk.
Bar
Primero Cantina
The indoor-outdoor cantina serves Tex-Mex dishes, with sports on screens and dining tables opening onto the patio.
At the table
SweetFire Kitchen serves regional fare from a wood-fired oven, and Sire Bar pours Texas whiskies into the evening.
How it began
The grounds once operated as an active limestone quarry, and original rock outcroppings were sculpted directly into the resort pools.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
