Transportation

The Alamo

San Antonio is located in central Texas, about 90 miles south of Austin and about 200 miles west of Houston. If you are planning on flying into San Antonio and do not wish to rent a car, some additional transportation options have been arranged. Please see below for details.

We also have a page with an interactive google map, and other maps, if you prefer. 

Travelling to San Antonio

By air: The San Antonio International Airport (airport code SAT) services the area and is about 10 miles from the hotel. 

Ground Transportation 

If you do not wish to rent a car, or prefer not to use yours as much, some additional transportation is available. This includes transportation to and from the airport and also to and from the hotels to the wedding location. Kimberly Chaney at Destinations by Marriott will coordinate directly with you for your transportation.

- Additional transportation to and from the airport

There will be a shuttle or car service, with a person (holding a card with your name on it) waiting for you at the airport baggage/arrival area - they will take you to the hotel upon your arrival. On Sunday, they will also provide your transportation from the hotel back to the airport. Please contact Kimberly Chaney to arrange transportation.
