We’re excited to launch a new series of PH Travels exploring remarkable destinations across Texas, beginning with one of America’s most historic and captivating places.
Few American cities offer the depth and variety of San Antonio. More than three centuries of history have shaped a city where Spanish colonial landmarks, Victorian neighborhoods, Modern architecture and innovative redevelopment exist side by side. It’s a place that rewards curiosity, and rewards returning.
Join Preservation Houston in the Alamo City from March 18–21, 2027, as PH Travels continues its mission to explore the places where preservation, architecture and community intersect. Each trip offers curated access to significant sites and the people who steward them — an inside look at the architecture, landscapes and preservation decisions that give a place its character. We’re delighted to have PH member and veteran trip planner Lynn Kelly helping guide this journey.
The trip includes:
Three nights’ accommodations at Kimpton Hotel Santo, an award-winning boutique hotel that seamlessly blends contemporary design with the restored c. 1858 German-English School
Three dinners, two lunches and a farewell brunch at some of San Antonio’s most memorable restaurants
Exclusive experiences, including private tours, receptions, access to remarkable historic homes and a chartered cruise along the San Antonio River
A thoughtfully curated exploration of the Alamo City led by local historians, preservation professionals and expert guides
Transportation for all scheduled group activities
All admissions, guided tours and gratuities for included activities
Pre-tour educational materials and an exclusive pre-tour reception in Houston
