Item Description
Prepare to be transported back to Pre-Civil War Texas in the beautiful Menger Hotel for a one night stay!
Built in 1858 by German immigrant William Menger, as an expansion of his boarding house business and adjunct to his brewery, this immediately successful, 40-room extension was started before the initial building was completed in January 1859, 23 years after the fall of the adjacent Alamo. By the 1870s, the Menger was the best-known hotel in the southwest. The hotel is mentioned several times in the works of O Henry, and hosted Ulysses S. Grant in 1880. It hosted Theodore Roosevelt at least 3 times, most notably in 1898 when he used the bar to recruit Rough Riders, who fought in Cuba in the Spanish-American War.
The Menger was San Antonio's most popular hotel throughout the 19th Century. Other notable guests have included Robert E. Lee,Dwight D. Eisenhower, Mae West, Babe Ruth, Oscar Wilde, Lillie Langtry and others were known to frequent the bar and hotel, which was periodically enlarged and remodelled to accommodate more guests.
