About the Inn

If your priorities are good food and good company in a comfortable, convenient, country Victorian setting, this is the place for you.

The Brackenridge House Bed and Breakfast, in the heart of the historic German King William District of San Antonio, is not one of the grand old mansions, but rather was built as shot-gun apartments around 1901 by John T. Brackenridge, a relative of George Brackenridge, who donated the land for Brackenridge Park. Its history is unremarkable, but its ambiance is that of a visit to life in San Antonio 100 years ago. Think about a house that belonged to your grandmother or favorite aunt whom you looked forward to visiting because you were treated so well.

The Brackenridge House Bed and Breakfast was tastefully restored by Carolyn Cole and opened its doors as a bed and breakfast in 1986. Present owners, Bennie and Sue Blansett bought it from Carolyn in 1995 and its reputation as a premier San Antonio bed and breakfast continues.

Filled with antiques and featuring breezy verandas on both the first and second floors in the front and rear of the house and offering a heated pool from March until November and a hot tub year-round, it is the perfect place for rest, relaxation and recreation.

The Brackenridge House Bed & Breakfast radiates Texas hospitality and is what you want your B&B to be. Give us a try. You’ll be glad you did.
