LA CANTERA
LEGENDS AND LORE
Hill Country history
The Westin La Cantera Hill Country Resort is dedicated to all those who have preserved Texas history and kept its legends alive. It is their work that provided the inspiration for the architecture, the ambiance and often, the very names of the facilities within the resort.
The legend of this dramatic structure perched high above the South Texas landscape began some 500 years ago with the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors. Carved from the enduring legends created by these first visitors and many others who would follow, The Westin La Cantera Hill Country Resort is at once a place of dreams and a place to dream. The resort blends historic architecture and design elements of the Southwest to create a “Texas Colonial” landmark.
Elements of our rich history can be found throughout the resort. The Lost Mission Meeting Rooms celebrate the heritage of the only 5 remaining missions in Texas. Steinheimer’s Lounge commemorates the adventurous spirit of all the fortune-hunters who have come to Texas over the years. And the Casita Village honors the rich history of the iconic Texas Ranches that helped shape the heritage of the state.
