The summer in San Antonio bustles with cultural events ranging from art shows to food events -- making this $119 special at a River Walk hotel even more of a rarity.

Travel to a boutique Travel + Leisure 2011 World's Best hotel Sunday-Thursday through August at 40% off regular rates. Weekends are $20-$30 more per night. 

All stays include two daily cocktails in Vbar, voted best hotel bar by San Antonio locals. Be sure to stop by the hotel's Citrus restaurant, with a menu that Zagat calls "culinary genius."

Hotel Valencia Riverwalk, a AAA 4-Diamond recipient, sits five blocks from the Alamo. Marble baths, custom beds with Egyptian cotton linens and free wireless Internet access top the list of guest room highlights.
