A Spurs night at Frost Bank Center, with the River Walk as your base.

Plan my tripJust find a hotel

The local take

An arena on San Antonio’s East Side, ringed by its own parking lots, with the River Walk, the Alamo and Tex-Mex institutions a short ride west.

Most Spurs home games tip off at 7 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. Central, many of them on weeknights, and two Sunday games start in the afternoon, so check your game’s time. For most events, doors open one hour before the scheduled start. For a weekend trip, the Alamo, the River Walk and Pearl fill the day before.

Get to know the areas

Downtown and the River WalkA first visit with the Alamo and the River Walk

Stay by the River Walk and the Alamo, with the widest choice of hotels and restaurants, and ride east to the arena.

River Walk restaurants and bars, the Alamo, La Villita and Hemisfair

To the arena
Take a rideshare and get dropped off at any Frost Bank Center parking-lot gate, or ride VIA Route 24 east along Houston Street to the Frost Bank Center stop.
After the game
Exit through the doors closest to Section 125 and meet your rideshare in the Lot 5 pickup zone, or ride Route 24 back downtown.
The tradeoff
It’s a rideshare or bus ride to the arena, not a walk. Hotel Valencia charges for valet and adds nightly fees; this guide couldn’t confirm parking at the other downtown hotels.

PearlA food-focused weekend in a walkable district

Stay in the historic Pearl district on the north edge of downtown, around Hotel Emma, a former 19th-century brewhouse, with restaurants, a bakery and weekend markets.

To the arena
Take a rideshare from Pearl and get dropped off at any Frost Bank Center parking-lot gate.
After the game
Exit near Section 125 and meet your rideshare in the Lot 5 pickup zone.
The tradeoff
Pearl is north of downtown, and this guide found no bus route that links it directly to the arena, so you ride both ways.
