Historic Houston Street

Historic Houston Street in downtown San Antonio traces its roots to the 1700s when it was known as Paseo Hondo, a sloped passageway leading to the San Antonio River. By the late 19th century, it emerged as a bustling commercial corridor, rivaling nearby Commerce Street, especially after streetcar traffic was routed through it, making it a clean and accessible shopping destination.

Today, the street is lined with historic buildings that open onto the scenic riverwalk, offering a distinctive setting for business events that value local character and a sense of place. Its proximity to downtown amenities and the river adds a unique backdrop for meetings, receptions, and gatherings under the Texas sky.
