The Alamo

The Omni La Mansión del Rio is only a 7-minute walk from the historic Alamo, the pride of downtown San Antonio. The history behind the Alamo is astounding. From its early days as a Spanish mission and site of the 1836 battle that enshrined it in the hearts of Texans, to its role in the commercial development of an American city, the Alamo is a place like no other. More than 2.5 million visitors go to the Alamo each year - a great place for families to gather and learn about the history of how San Antonio came to be.
