“sbe and Accor really have been some of the pioneers of the hip modern Lifestyle Boutique hotel space and with such a strong F&B operation. We are excited to see San Antonio continue to grow in its international appeal.”
Sbe chief operating officer Chadi Farhat said: “We are very proud to work with San Antonio developer Harris Bay and its Managing Partner, Jake Harris and the terrific architects at Creo to bring Artista to San Antonio.
“San Antonio is re-emerging as a premier destination and has been one of the United States’ undiscovered gems of culture and diversity for too long. Rich in history, San Antonio is a 300-year-old Spanish colonial city and we are excited to celebrate that culture on the Riverwalk at Artista San Antonio.”
Last month, Accor announced that will open new Fairmont property in Saudi Arabia in 2023.
