One of San Antonio’s premier resort destinations is rejoining an international hotel group after years of operating as an independent brand.

On Oct. 2, the La Cantera Resort & Spa will rebrand under Hilton Hotels & Resorts’ Signia brand, according to officials with the property. 

The rebrand to one of Hilton’s premium monikers marks the first time since 2016 that the well-reviewed resort will operate under a major hotel chain. Previously it was branded as a Westin property as part of Marriott International.

Although now a Hilton, the La Cantera Resort will continue to be operated and owned by Ohana Real Estate Investors.

“La Cantera Resort & Spa has been a beloved destination in the Texas Hill Country for more than 20 years, and we’re proud to lead its next chapter as a Signia by Hilton hotel,” La Cantera Resort & Spa General Manager Ben Turner said in a statement. “This partnership combines the resort’s rich heritage and upscale amenities with Signia’s signature hospitality, enhancing its reputation as a premier destination for sophisticated getaways and exceptional events in San Antonio.”

The resort, which recently completed a nearly year-long $40 million renovation, boasts 469 guest rooms, 34 boutique-style villas, an adults-only floor and an array of restaurants, including the Michelin Guide Texas 2024-recognized Signature Restaurant.

La Cantera Resort and Spa also has five pools, a kids camp and several miles of nature trails.
