Budget Hotels for Fiesta San Antonio 2026 — Real Prices
Fiesta San Antonio 2026
April 16-26, 2026
Price spike: 75-150%
Downtown hotels near the River Walk see the biggest spikes. Fiesta events happen citywide, so west side and airport hotels are viable alternatives at half the price.
💡 Tip: Many Fiesta events are free and spread across the city. Stay west near SeaWorld or near the airport — you'll save $50-80/night and still be a short drive from the action.
San Antonio's biggest annual celebration — 11 days of parades, music, food, and cultural events across the city. Over 3.5 million attendees make this the busiest hotel season.
