As a nod to its storied Prohibition-era history, the Aiden also features No Vacancy, a hidden speakeasy tucked behind a secret entrance in the lobby. With live jazz and craft cocktails inspired by the 1920s, the speakeasy revives the building’s past as one of San Antonio’s original nightlife destinations, making it a must-visit spot for music and cocktail enthusiasts.
Following a four-year renovation, the Aiden’s interiors are designed with comfort and individuality in mind. Each oversized suite boasts unique furnishings, spa-like bathrooms, and custom artwork.
