Book a Hotel near Freeman Coliseum, Arena District

Located in south-central Texas, San Antonio is a large city full of energy and historical significance. It's the site of the famous Battle of the Alamo, which is located right in the heart of the downtown area. Its proximity to Mexico, combined with its Spanish history, gives the city a lively, multicultural vibe. If you're taking a vacation in San Antonio, hotels near Freeman Coliseum are a great choice, as they're close to the downtown area, as well as the city's main entertainment venues.

Freeman Coliseum

The Freeman Coliseum was San Antonio's busiest arena at one time, hosting rodeos, concerts, and sporting events. Whilst not as popular as it used to be, there are still plenty of events held here, and it's still one of the city's most famous venues. The nearby AT&T Center also hosts tons of events, and hotels close to Freeman Coliseum are within walking distance of both.

The downtown area is three miles west of the coliseum, and two of San Antonio's best tourist attractions are located here--the Alamo and the Riverwalk, in addition to a large selection of bars, shops, and restaurants. Originally a mission, the Alamo became a military garrison, and was where Davy Crockett made his last stand in 1836. The Riverwalk runs along the San Antonio River through downtown, is a great place to eat and shop, and has a distinctly European atmosphere. Buckhorn Saloon and Museum is another great spot--it's an old-style Western tavern, full of stuffed animals from all over the world. After all that, head back to your San Antonio hotel for some much-needed rest.
