Restful stay in Historic, Downtown San Antonio

We had a peaceful and restful stay at A Yellow Rose in San Antonio. The room was spacious and comfortably furnished with plush couches and stuffed chairs to lounge in. The house has a relaxed, historic feel with good vibes all around. A Yellow Rose lets you choose your dining experience from in-room continental breakfast up through a full home cooked meal. Since we chose the in-room breakfast (which was just Sunny Delight and coffee) we can’t really comment on the food much, but the stay overall was great and we would recommend it if you’re coming to San Antonio! collapse
LOVELY STAY IN THE KING WILLIAM DISTRICT

A Yellow Rose is a lovely bed and breakfast in the King William District. We almost missed it because the home blends in with the others on the block. There is a small parking lot, but it’s hard to navigate unless you have a compact car. We didn’t have breakfast but the provided juices were just what we needed in the morning. A great value for the location! I’d definitely recommend this B&B to friends/family. We’ll be back in the future! collapse

Our favorite official Fiesta event is the all-day, family-friendly party along the tree-lined streets of this historic arts district on the edge of downtown. The endearingly wacky parade starts at 9:30 am, followed by food, music, and libations among the beautifully restored homes. Join us at King William Park, where we’ll be playing world jazz in the afternoon. The laid-back fair is a great way to wind down your party week!

[Sitings] Villa Finale: From Boarding House to Local Gem

Posted on: April 20th, 2013 by Mame McCully No Comments

Villa Finale, located in the King William Historic District of San Antonio, Texas, tells the story of preservationist Walter Mathis. In 1967, Mathis purchased his home at 401 King William in a neighborhood that was in an advanced state of disrepair. Stately mansions had become poorly maintained rooming houses, some altered almost beyond recognition.

After spending nearly two years meticulously restoring Villa Finale, itself a former boarding house, Mr. Mathis turned his attention to the neighborhood outside his door. One by one, he bought a dozen houses in King William, performed essential preservation work on them, and then sold them to preservation-minded individuals who would continue their restoration.

Visitors can tour Villa Finale, a beautiful home filled with the collections of Mr. Mathis, and then stroll through the King William District to view the varied architecture of this area and the rich history it holds.

Take a minute to view some of Villa Finale’s treasures:

Villa Finale was the home of Walter Mathis, a leading preservationist in San Antonio, Texas. Walter Mathis is widely recognized as the catalyst for the revitalization of the King William neighborhood, now a National Register Historic District.

A NEW TRIP ADVISOR REVIEW

April 11, 2013

 

 

“Always a pleasure to return to the Yellow Rose”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 10, 2013 NEW

I travel to San Antonio 1x or 2x a year. When possible I stay at the Yellow Rose. I love the quiet elegance and the reprieve from the River Walk crowds. The location is perfect. It is a short walk to the convention center, a shorter walk to the “trolley” system that will take you several popular spots, and in the charming King William district with all the galleries and eateries. The separate entrance and free parking are just frosting on the cake.

Why stay in a “cube” when you can in a room that is full of charm?

Very enjoyable

March 31, 2013

We had a great time. Wonderful 15 min walk along the river from the A Yellow Rose to the downtown Riverwalk. The room was very spacious and clean, the bathroom very spacious, clean and comfortable. Easy to park your car. Located in the historic King William District which made it pleasant to walk around and do some sightseeing. We enjoyed to go for breakfast or lunch at the nearby Guenther House.

Again…a fantastic stay!

March 27, 2013

We wanted to take a two-day “staycation” here in San Antonio, and immediately thought of the Yellow Rose. We called to ask if our favorite room was available during the break, and the owners worked with us to carve out a two-day time that we’d be able to have the room. We were all over San Antonio during that two days, but had a great deal of time in the room as well…and it was GREAT as usual!… read more We enjoyed the comfort of the room; the amenities – from great toiletries to robes to perfect TV to all the little knickknacks that make the room feel cozy and homey – were great, and I HAVE to find out where they got that amazing showerhead! Best shower flow I’ve ever seen in ANY hotel, motel, b&b!!! Hard to find any issues with this place…that’s why we’ve stayed there as often as we have, and will stay there again! The owners are friendly yet unobtrusive, the grounds are attractive, the room was great, the neighborhood is interesting and vibrant…just a fantastic stay. Definitely worth the price of admission! :) collapse

Great Spot/Great Stay!

March 20, 2013

My wife and I did a 2-day quick tour of San Antonio and we were lucky enough to book a stay at the Yellow Rose. Excellent location, easy walk to great restaurants (Rosario’s!) and other downtown attractions (Alamo,Riverwalk,Mercado). Great hosts, we appreciated the breakfast-optional choice, my wife doesn’t like to eat large first thing in the morning. Excellent restaurant recommendations..great … read moreroom! Thanks Deb +Kit! collapse

Very comfortable stay

March 20, 2013

We had an absolutely terrific stay at the Yellow Rose and would recommend it to anyone visiting the San Antonio area. The King William neighborhood is a delight and the Rose is but 2 blocks from a serene section of Riverwalk and several very satisfying restaurants are a snap to walk to. It’s a great springboard to Lackland AFB, our occasion to visit the area, and many other local attractions. … read moreWe were unable to sample the breakfast fare, but had excellent coffee and tea provided to us in a spacious, well-appointed room, and the veranda was fun, too. Ample parking provided or easily found on the street nearby. Thanks, Deb, we’d like to return! collapse
