Dining, bar and cofee
The hotel offers four distinct restaurant and dining experiences, including Jots, The Keystone Club, Bar 414, and Paris Baguette.
The hotel’s signature restaurant, Jots, is an homage to the supper clubs that gained popularity in the mid-1900s. It is named after Jonathan “Jot” Gunter, a local rancher and financier of the hotel in 1909. The restaurant will serve classic American cuisine with a retro flair, hotel management says.
The Keystone Club is located in the lobby of the Gunter Hotel and features art deco chandeliers and ornate embellishments that surround the hotel’s interior. The bar’s menu compliments the elegant setting and offers a sophisticated and classic mix of cocktails, beer, and wine.
Bar 414 is speakeasy-style watering hole hidden behind a gallery wall. It was named for the guest room where Robert Johnson recorded in 1936. The bar features intage décor, a curated drink list, and a moody, welcoming atmosphere. An opening date for Bar 414 is coming soon.
Paris Baguette, the renowned café and bakery, will open its first San Antonio location onsite—serving artisanal pastries, breads, and expertly crafted coffee beverages. An opening date for Paris Baguette will be announced soon.
