The San Antonio Marriott Riverwalk has just completed a multi-million dollar ballroom renovation, General Manager Jim Quinn has announced.
The renovation project encompassed the 9,800-square-foot Alamo Ballroom as well as the hotel's breakout rooms and pre-function areas, all of which received new carpeting, wall coverings, and paint. Automated light sensors were added so that the lights turn off automatically when the rooms are not occupied to conserve energy, hang points were added to the Alamo Ballroom to enable three different meeting configurations, new linenless buffet tables will now be used for all of the breaks and food stations to conserve on laundry use, and new chocolate brown suede will be used for the conference tables.
The audio/visual system was refurbished, an enhanced sound system was added, as well as a new lighting and dimming system. Additional upgrades include new banquet chairs, new artwork and mirrors, and new furniture in the ballroom's pre-function space. Overall the hotel features a total of 14,976 square feet of function space and 15 meeting rooms.
Marriott is on a mission to Lead The Future of Meetings and one of its most recent innovations involves rolling out a Meeting Services App which allows customers to manage their meetings more effectively. The Meeting Services App is currently available at the San Antonio Riverwalk.
The San Antonio Marriott Riverwalk is located in the heart of downtown San Antonio, with sweeping balcony views of San Antonio's fabulous Riverwalk district. The 30-story hotel features a contemporary lobby with Texas flair featuring chili-red walls, dark-wood trim, and wrought-iron accents. A recipient of Meetings & Conventions Magazine's Gold Award, the hotel is adjacent to the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, and just three blocks from the Alamo. Facilities include 507 guest rooms and suites, Cactus Flower Restaurant, The Bar, a Starbucks® Coffee House, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and a fitness center.
