The JW Marriott is the newest pride of San Antonio, appearing from the TPC Parkway as a modern day castle atop the high hill. All around, the palatial theme mixes ostrich skin barstools, blown glass, Remington motif and nine -pillow beds for guests who stay. Or you can get a taste of the special service at the spa for a day. The Replenish Spa Bistro features herbs grown on the property. Make time to relax by the spa pool. www.jwlantanaspa.com
