The Menger Hotel is a historic hotel located in downtown San Antonio, Texas, US, on the site of the Battle of the Alamo.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 as a contributing building in the Alamo Plaza Historic District.[1]

  1. ^ Joe R. William; Marie D. Landon (December 10, 1976). "National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Alamo Plaza Historic District" (PDF). Built in 1857 the Menger was originally a two-story limestone building designed by John Fries. Located at the southwest corner of the block the building later ex-panded to a three-story building at this corner. Alfred Giles is responsible for this later design. The west facade of the original building is now a three-story, three -bay structure. The slightly projecting central bay is crowned by a pedi-mented parapet. The first floor contains a central door flanked by two windows, while the second and third floors each contain three round arched openings. The end bays contain two flat arched windows on each floor and these pavilions are capped by a bracketed cornice. Iron balconies extend at the second and third floor levels. Additions to the north and east have been made several times in the 19th and 20th centuries and thehotel now fills the entire block. A lavish three-story space in the Menger lobby, illuminated by a stained glass, leaded skylight, dominates the old part of the hotel. The solid block of hotel buildings is broken in the center by an interior courtyard of walkways through dense tropical foliage. (PDF document also available here. Downloading may be slow..)
