The Ogé House

     Step back in time to a bygone era in Texas history To a nineteenth century mansion on the banks of the San Antonio River, once owned by pioneer Texas Ranger, cattle rancher and businessman Louis Ogé.

    The Ogé House is an architectural work significant enough to be listed both on the National Register of Historic Places and as a Texas Historical Landmark.

    Elegantly decorated with period antiques, each of the five guest suites and five guest rooms has its own new private bath with wonderfully scented soaps and thick, fluffy towels. Most rooms have fireplaces and all are furnished with either a King or Queen sized bed, air conditioning, cable television, telephone and refrigerator. Each of the three floors has its own spacious veranda; each a perfect retreat for private relaxation. The graciously appointed grand foyer and the library, with its comfortable overstuffed chairs, glowing hearth and view of the river, provide inviting settings for meeting friends, reading or pleasant conversations. Breakfast is served in the formal dining room at private tables in view of the fireplace or on the majestic front veranda.

    The Inn, set on 1.5 acres of beautifully landscaped lawns and gardens, provides a perfect setting with its spectacular view of downtown and the river, and is a pleasant five block stroll along the Paseo del Rio past towering cypress and arched foot bridges to the heart of the best shopping, dining and entertainment in San Antonio. The Alamo, Convention Center, Rivercenter Mall, Tower of the Americas, AlamoDome, La Villita, Institute of Texan Cultures, and the city business center are within the same distance. Within a few blocks catch an authentic reproduction of a San Antonio Streetcar which connects the historic district to all downtown points of interest including Market Square, the Spanish Governor's Palace and San Fernando Cathedral.
