The Robert E. Lee Hotel was the tallest hotel in San Antonio when it opened in 1923. Constructed by the Travis Investment Company, the hotel represents the historic period during which San Antonio boasted the largest population of any Texas city, attracting flocks of tourists and business travelers. A $5.2 million renovation adapted the hotel rooms into affordable residences in 1999. Photo courtesy of Centro San Antonio.
