At the corner of a short city block eclipsed by construction activity in recent years, a towering modern hotel is nearing completion while its historic neighboring structures get a second life.
The 22-story Canopy by Hilton Hotel, located at East Commerce and North St. Mary’s streets, was expected to be completed in the fall. Instead, the 195-room hotel should open in late March or April, developer and restaurateur Chris Hill said, nearly four years after construction began.
But another Hill project – about 50 steps to the west – is closer to making its debut. The historic stone and brick Witte Building has been completely restored, and on the river and street levels of the building, a new restaurant and bar are set to open in the coming weeks.
Hill, who also owns the Esquire Tavern next door to the Canopy hotel, said he is looking forward to presenting to San Antonio what his group has been working on the past four years even if it means opening during a pandemic that has waylaid the city’s previously thriving hospitality sector.
