Just a few weeks after IHG opened an InterContinental property in San Antonio, the hotel chain is adding another luxury hotel to the city’s skyline. The Kimpton Santo is scheduled to open in a few days, and we’re impressed already.

Here’s what you need to know about the hotel before it opens.

IHG Opening a Second High-End Hotel in San Antonio

The Kimpton Santo is a brand-new, 347-room hotel opening at the intersection of the Downtown and Southtown neighborhoods. Keeping to the Kimpton theme, rooms are tastefully decorated with pops of color, greenery, and natural light. The largest suite, the Presidental, is nearly 1,100 square feet and offers separate living and dining areas.

Amenities include a rooftop pool, 13,000 square feet of meeting space, 2 restaurants, a fitness center, and pet-friendly accommodations.

Kimpton Santo will open for guests on August 29, 2024.

IHG has a pretty extensive portfolio in San Antonio, mostly of low-cost hotel options. There is 1 luxury property, the InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk (which just opened), so the Kimpton Santo should be a welcome addition for IHG fans.

Booking Kimpton Santo

Kimpton Santo is now open for guests and is part of the IHG One Rewards program, allowing you to earn and redeem points here.

This fall, rates are as low as $185 per night, which is an excellent price for San Antonio. But if you have some IHG One Rewards points and want to use them, the Kimpton Santo is the perfect choice. Award nights for a standard room start at just 39,000 points per night — and it’s even less if you book using the Points & Cash option.

If you’re running low on IHG One Rewards points, here’s how you can quickly earn:

Hot Tip:

When you book a 2-night stay at Kimpton Santo, you’ll receive a complimentary 1-night stay on a date of your choice (through August 31, 2025). You’ll also receive 2 free cocktails or mocktails.

Final Thoughts

While the Kimpton Santo isn’t open yet, it’s already making a splash in San Antonio. It offers some high-end amenities at a reasonable price point in cash or IHG points.
