Fort Sam Houston Hotels

Fort Sam Houston is located in San Antonio - a city of significant military importance, but, at the same time, a major Texan touristic area, boasting numerous appealing attractions, wonderful restaurants, and miles of convenient malls, outlet stores and shops.

San Antonio was the fourth-fastest-growing large city in the nation from 2000 to 2006, and the fifth-fastest-growing, from 2007 to 2008.

It is home to five Fortune 500 companies and to the South Texas Medical Center, which is the only medical research and care provider in the South Texas region.

San Antonio's jewel-attraction is, perhaps, the River Walk, lined with numerous shops, bars, and restaurants, which is Texas' second-most-visited attraction, the top one being the Alamo, located nearby.

The downtown area in San Antonio is filled with appealing attractions, among which we find the Cathedral of San Fernando, The Majestic Theatre, the Spanish Governor's Palace, HemisFair Park (home of the Tower of the Americas and the Institute of Texan Cultures), La Villita, and El Mercado, and, on the northern side of the Alamo complex, visitors can visit the San Antonio Cavalry Museum, which features cavalry artifacts and exhibits and is frequented by local re-enactors.

Besides taking in the sights in San Antonio, visitors can also delight themselves by sampling the world famous Tex-Mex cuisine at the many fine restaurants located throughout the city.

Mexican restaurants are abundant in, virtually, all parts of town, and most of them are relatively inexpensive.

In conclusion, San Antonio is a delightful destination, one in which people can play, dine, shop and explore, without ever getting bored!
