San Antonio Tower & Hyatt Pics - 12/30/06
I paid a visit to San Antonio this past Saturday and had a chance to climb the Tower of the Americas for the first time since its reopening last summer. This afforded us some great views of the construction progress of the Hyatt CC and Staybridge hotels, and downtown & surrounding areas. Here are my shots and views from above:
The return of the Tower:
Revamped base of the tower, containing gift shops, a restaurant and a '4D" interactive theater
Heading up the Elevator
Towering above it all
Staybridge Hotel
Shots of the emerging Hyatt Grand
See ground-level shots at the end of this thread....
The "other" Hyatt
A game I did not get tickets for was underway as I took this shot
Riverwalk and Square
Anyone know the story on this fire? Smoke looms over Brooke Army Medical Center... ironically
More of Brooke, Ft Sam Houston, and Randolph Air Force Base in the distance (looking NE)
Downtown
Weston Centre and Fredricksburg Rd beyond
Northside skyline (410 @ San Pedro), and Hill Country rising beyond
Airport
NW San Antonio
Broadway
AT&T Center
Sunset from the lounge
Dinner with a view
Ground-level shots of the Hyatt
Staybridge from the ground
