About this venue

Inspired by a story as big and bold as Texas, The LDR debuted in 2010 as the newest star in San Antonio. More than a ballroom, Lonesome Dove’s fine Western art and rich furnishings evoke the maverick history and rustic elegance of the landscape that inspired it. On the banks of the River Walk at the Henry B. González Convention Center, this fabulous new venue flows out onto a river patio, seamlessly transforming into an “al fresco” setting ideal for private groups and events from 150 to 500 guests. Guests are drawn into the warm, ranch-like panache of The LDR, surrounded by an abundance of natural textures…natural stone, wood, and leather. Antler chandeliers and custom-made furnishings abound in this unique, one-of-a-kind room unparalleled in any convention center in the country. The ambience merges the spirit of the Old West with a luxurious and contemporary feel. Rich fabrics, creative lighting, plush furnishings, and flexible seating areas evoke the welcoming living room of a grand Texas ranch house. The legendary cuisine and gracious service of The RK Group completes the unique experience — inviting guests to indulge in a taste of Texas’ hospitality and warmth.

  • DH★★★★★3 years ago

    I had the chance to experience a event here well attending a work conference at the convention center that is connected to the grotto. It is tin a nice usually quiet spot that doesn’t get a whole lot of traffic along the River Walk accept for when there is a large event held here. The event I attended here was a large event and wasn’t a huge fan of it for the event due to the lack of places to sit both on the inside and outside in the grotto for the size of the event.

    Art was definitely good but no flowing water makes little less interesting!

  • Leslie Adkins★★★★★a month ago

    This place is beautiful!! I came here with my daughter and had a blast!

  • Jose Ortega★★★★★4 years ago

    A great quiet almost forgotten spot that rarely gets busy and is great for that quick getaway from the crowds. Its great when you need to get away from the heat on a summer day.

  • Nathan Bibiano★★★★★4 years ago

    I love going there to practice my violin because it's has one of the most unique acoustic spot in the city and I love when people enjoy it
