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
