Rooted in its rich history, the historic Menger Hotel reigns as the oldest operating hotel, where hospitality and history come to life. Step into the beautiful Victorian lobby and be transported back to when Theodore Roosevelt gathered his Rough Riders at the Menger Bar. Menger Hotel hosted generations of guests who delight in its architectural grandeur, glamorous public spaces, and thoughtful modern-day services and amenities. As you stroll through the Spanish courtyard garden, you will feel at peace as you surround yourself with palm trees, azaleas, and a three-tiered fountain. 

The best way to enjoy your day is at the San Antonio Zoo, where they bring exotic wildlife from all around the world directly to you. Make your zoo visit an adventure as you get the chance to watch the elephants play, listen to the hyenas laugh, and take in the sights of the lions, tigers, bears, kangaroos, hippos, and flamingos, to name a few. Make sure you stop by the giraffe enclosures and reach up to feed them right out of your hands.
