    San Antonio is a hot travel destination, brimming with historic hotels and trendy new getaways. And as it frequently ranks as one of the best vacation spots, we decided to take a look inside the city’s most stunning suites. These luxurious rooms will make you want to stay awhile.

    Ranging from 1,834 to 2,300 square feet, the presidential suites at JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa are inspired by Texas ranches. Each features a grand entry hall with living rooms that overlook the Hill Country. Multiple TVs, fireplace, library room, and a second bedroom option are also included, and the suite is decorated with custom-designed fabrics and furniture. Celebrities and large corporate groups are the presidential suite’s most frequent visitors.

    Maritzen Suite at Hotel Emma
    Recently named a best new hotel by Travel + Leisure, Hotel Emma is the Pearl’s premier destination, offering fantastic dining options in a beautiful setting.

    Exploring Texas

    Texas landmark grants visitors rare sight for a limited time

    Texas landmark grants visitors rare sight for a limited time
    Natural Bridge Caverns/Facebook
    The Glen Rose Aquifer is only visible at Natural Bridge Caverns after heavy rains.

    There's a new sight to behold at a Texas landmark, but it won't last very long.

    Heavy rains have created a dazzling spectacle in the underground passages of the Natural Bridge Caverns near San Antonio, and intrepid visitors can now tour the phenomenon. The rarely seen Discovery Aquifer Tour gives visitors a first-hand look at the Glen Rose Aquifer, the water reservoir that lies below the caverns.

    Under normal circumstances, the water table cannot be seen, but heavy rains have sent large amounts of groundwater into the aquifer, causing it to rise into the lower chambers of Natural Bridge Caverns. Some of the passages are submerged, granting guests a rare chance to get a close-up look at an aquifer.

    Natural Bridge Caverns cannot predict how long the aquifer will be visible. Sunny skies may bode well for our summertime activities, but once the rain stops, the water will slowly recede, until it disappears.

    The 75-minute Discovery Aquifer Tour is $21.99 for ages 12 and up, $13.99 for ages 3-11. Call ahead at 210-651-6101 to confirm water levels are still visible. The Discovery Tour will resume when the water recedes.
