Menger Hotel
Stacks Image 2232
William A. Menger, who emigrated from Germany and settled on Alamo Plaza barely 20 years after the Alamo battle, established a brewery and boarding house as the forerunner to this hotel. The hotel has operated continuously since its opening, serving the likes of Presidents Taft and McKinley, generals Grant and Lee, actress Sarah Bernhardt, and Teddy Roosevelt, who rallied the Rough Riders in the Menger Bar. Texas Historical Markers commemorate the Menger Hotel, barbed wire demonstration, and the San Antonio Section of the National Council of Jewish Women, originally established at the Menger Hotel.
