The menu features American regional fare, including seafood, steaks, and game meats. Open daily, the restaurant also hosts a Sunday champagne brunch.

| SERVICES |
| What to expect: Conjuring a grand hacienda, the lobby of this seven-story Spanish Colonial hotel has graceful archways, fresh flowers, and a winding, wrought-iron staircase. Vacationers and business travelers enjoy the charm and cultural heritage of the hotel's beamed and molded ceilings, French doors, distinctive artifacts and tapestries, and brick-paved courtyard lush with trees and tropical greenery. Amenity highlights: La Mansion del Rio has a delightful tradition of placing a magical box of worry dolls on a guest's pillow when turndown service is requested. Guests are instructed to place one doll for every worry they have under their pillow during the night. Legend has it that they will awake the next morning worry-free. Other amenities include a fitness center, the outdoor lap pool, and Las Canarias, the hotel's restaurant serving Southwest cuisine and a Sunday champagne brunch. Insider tip: Guests pose for pictures on the quaint stone footbridge next to La Mansion. It's a prime spot to capture the hotel, the surrounding floral and fauna, and passing riverboats. |
