Inside Thompson San Antonio - Riverwalk
rooftop_barThe Moon's DaughtersThe Moon's Daughters occupies a quietly considered address on Lexington Avenue in downtown San Antonio, where the city's bar scene has been consolidating around technically driven programs and a stronger sense of place. It sits in a tier of venues that reward repeat visits over first impressions, trading spectacle for the kind of atmosphere that reads differently at noon than it does at midnight.
restaurantLandraceLandrace at 111 Lexington Ave occupies a particular position in San Antonio's fine-dining scene: a restaurant that grounds its menu in regional and seasonal sourcing at a time when the city's upper tier is pulling in multiple directions. Compared to the tasting-menu formalism of Mixtli or the Texas-focused cooking at Isidore, Landrace reads as the farm-driven middle ground, where the editorial interest lies in what it says about San Antonio's evolving relationship with the land around it.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Thompson San Antonio – Riverwalk presents itself as a contemporary counterpoint to the city's more historic, limestone-lined properties. The hotel is a downtown tower that deliberately refuses to blend into River Walk tradition, staking a modern, design-forward position. That point of view is most visible in the property's culinary program: restaurants and a bar are treated as primary elements of the identity rather than afterthoughts. Landrace on the ground floor underscores that focus with a seasonally driven menu rooted in South Texas ingredients, giving the hotel an energetic, food-forward personality in the heart of downtown.
Best For
This hotel is best for travelers who prioritize dining and a central downtown location. Guests who want an elevated evening — whether a date night centered on a seasonally focused meal or a business dinner with colleagues — find the property's restaurants and bar to be the draw. The Lexington Avenue address puts visitors a short walk from the Alamo and the San Antonio Museum of Art, making it convenient for cultural outings before or after dinner. The Thompson's hospitality model attracts visitors looking for a polished, urban stay where food and drink are central to the experience.
Stay Tips
When dining at Thompson San Antonio, treat the restaurant program as the main event. Landrace emphasizes seasonality and South Texas ingredients, so expect a dynamic menu that changes with available produce and regional sourcing; ask servers about what’s currently featured and what reflects the local agricultural and ranching traditions. The property's bar program is likewise a core part of the experience, so plan to spend time sampling cocktails or curated pours there. For the most up-to-date offerings, rely on staff recommendations rather than expecting fixed, long-standing menu staples.

Hotel context
How It Compares
Thompson San Antonio - Riverwalk is the stronger choice for travelers who want a more contemporary luxury feel in central San Antonio. Hotel Havana is better for a smaller, more character-led stay, while The St. Anthony, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Antonio suits guests who want a grander historic-hotel mood.
For River Walk positioning, compare rates carefully against Hotel Valencia Riverwalk, Omni La Mansión del Rio, Mokara Hotel & Spa. Hotel Valencia is the sharper cross-shop for style-focused weekends, Omni is the safer classic option, Mokara is the one to check when spa time is part of the trip.
