Ground-up new build
A $185 million luxury tower rising over San Antonio's Hemisfair Park. See how Tabono delivered a custom shower enclosure built without crossing glass.
More than a decade in the making, The Monarch opened in March 2026 as downtown San Antonio's newest luxury hotel. The 17-story tower, part of Hilton's Curio Collection, holds 200 guest rooms and 28 suites on the site of the 1968 World's Fair. Overland Partners designed the building, and The Gettys Group led the interiors, both drawing on the monarch butterflies that migrate through the region.
Tabono supplied and installed the guest-room shower glass. The design called for a custom enclosure that avoided crossing glass panels, a detail that demanded precise shop drawings and tight field coordination.
