Southwest School of Art Coates Chapel
  • 300 Augusta
  • San Antonio TX 78205

Beautifully landscaped courtyards and a gothic chapel with soaring ceilings attract those seeking an authentic San Antonio experience reminiscent of the city’s early days. This dramatic setting, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, offers elegant, spacious interiors along with picturesque outdoor spaces.

Built in 1867, the versatile, L-shaped chapel has an ante-room that opens onto the gardens and an adjacent full catering kitchen. Relaxing space hidden under the eaves provides a tranquil opportunity to reflect on the conference.
