The Scout Guide San Antonio, Volume 12 by THE SCOUT GUIDE

EDITORS’ LETTER

A COLLECTION

The Scout Guide San Antonio is part of a national collection of city guides, each dedicated to celebrating what makes a place special. Here in San Antonio, we highlight the makers, dreamers, and doers whose visions and creativity shape our city every day.

A COMMUNITY

For us, this city isn’t just where we live; it’s where our stories unfold. Through The Scout Guide San Antonio, we celebrate the people behind the places we love: the restaurateurs who know your name, the artists who bring color to our streets, and the entrepreneurs who inspire us with their vision. We believe in craftsmanship, authenticity, and connection, and our joy is introducing friends to one another and creating a community that feels both intimate and vibrant.

A LIFESTYLE

The Scout Guide San Antonio is both a love letter and a guide. For longtime locals, it’s a reminder of why we’re proud to call this city home. For newcomers and visitors, it’s an invitation to experience San Antonio like an insider: where to go, who to know, and how to live well here. Our hope is that every page inspires you to explore, connect, and celebrate the best of this place we’re so grateful to share with you.

THE NATIONAL BEER OF TEXAS

Wake to the majestic beauty of gira es outside your window

Nestled inside San Antonio Zoo’s Naylor Savanna, Spekboom Lodge o ers a one-of-a-kind, innovative safari-style villa where luxury meets the wild. This unique suite accommodates four guests and features a private suite with a king bed, trundle, elegant living space, and an outdoor patio overlooking zebras, gira es, and many more animals.

With private zoo access one hour before the zoo opens and two hours after the zoo closes, curated animal encounters, and a behind-the-scenes tour, your stay promises wonder and purpose. Every stay supports gira e conservation and delivers an unforgettable experience without ever leaving the city.
