The Westin La Cantera is a Hill Country must see.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary with a $12 million property renovation, its amenities are fresh and exciting.
The signature restaurant, Francesca’s at Sunset, features Southwestern “Farm-to-table” cuisine. More than 80 percent of the fare is from South Texas ranchers, farmers and vintners.
Golf is big. La Cantera is the only south Texas resort to offer 36 holes of golf. The Palmer Course is a premier golf experience; the Resort Course is home to the PGA Tour’s Valero Texas Open.
If shopping is your thing, The Shops at La Cantera include Neiman Marcus, Tiffany & Co., Nordstrom and many boutiques; hop on the shuttle for a few hours retail therapy.
This stunning facility is perfect for a Hill Country weddings or corporate retreats.
Noteworthy: Quaint town of Boerne boasts fun dining, scores of art galleries and Cascade Caverns. If you visited a cavern as a kid – you’ll love this frozen-in-time geological wonder.
