The Fairmount San Antonio The three-story Victorian structure was built in 1906, six blocks from its present-day location. In 1985, the Fairmount was entered in the Guinness Book of World Records when the 3.2 million pound hotel was moved intact to its current location, three blocks from the Alamo and La Villettas on San Antonio's popular Riverwalk. A glass display case in the hotel's lobby contains an array of 19th century military objects from the Battle of the Alamo and an unusual assortment of British china. The Fairmount today boasts 37 guest rooms and suite and has wrought-iron verandas and a red-brick fa�ade as well as a courtyard with lush foliage and garden seating. Inside, the hotel's guest rooms feature canopy beds, overstuffed chairs and elegant marble baths.
