Relax in the heart of Texas - JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa
Be not deceived by the long name, the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa is going to be a simple and relaxing place where you can rest your hot and weary body.
Opening in February 2010, the resort will feature two PGA TOUR 18 hole Tournament Player's Club golf courses, a six-acre water park, seven restaurants and lounges (including a multi-media sports bar) and a spa which incorporates local herbs like lavender into their treatments.
Why (or "where the heck is") Texas Hill Country? The area is a calming landscape of rolling hills and oak trees comfortably close to San Antonio (under 20 minutes from the airport). The Hill Country has more than 20 local wineries, spelunking, hunting, fishing, The Guadalupe River, and peach and olive orchards -- not really what most of us picture when we think of Texas, but perhaps what we should!
Even your reading list is taken care of -- if you're visiting the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa, you should pick up a copy of "The Unlikely Lavender Queen" by NY writer Jeannie Ralston, which chronicles her "reluctant relocation" to Texas Hill Country from Manhattan -- I don't want to spoil anything for you, but it turns out she likes it pretty well. The book is a great tale of unwinding, and is the perfect light read for this vacation.

This is a lovely hotel. The restaurant serves GREAT food. I have never been an overnight guest, because I lived down the street, but have eaten at the restaurants numerous times. Highly recommended!
