Best Luxury Hotels in Texas
Located in the south-central region of Texas, the state’s second most populous city, San Antonio is known for its cultural heritage. It is home to the famous Alamo Mission (where a pivotal battle was fought during the Texas Revolution), the River Walk (a network of walkways along the San Antonio River lined with shops, restaurants and bars) and the Tower of the Americas, a 750-foot-tall observation tower offering panoramic views of the city. There’s a strong Mexican-American influence, as seen in the food, music and art. The city is also a major centre for the military, with installations including Joint Base San Antonio.

Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas
(5 stars)Somewhat of an exclusive country club, this particular Four Seasons Resort is found a little away from the hub of activity. En route to Fort Worth, in a leafy suburb of Las Colinas, it places guests close to the lakeside and the locale’s fancy shops and eateries. But there are amenities galore onsite. Three pools (one with a pseudo beach, one that spans 25,000-square-feet), 12 tennis courts, a triple deck Sports Club, a kids club, an 18-hole golf course, two restaurants and a bar. 431 rooms are decorated in muted, earthy colours, with a classic, upscale style.
