Downtown Hotel Introduces a New Chef-Curated Dog Menu at their Restaurant
Downtown hotel, Gunter Hotel, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, is raising the bar for pet-friendly hospitality with the launch of a new chef-curated Dog Menu at its signature restaurant, Jots. Designed with the same care, creativity and quality as the human menu, the new offering invites four-legged guests to dine in style alongside their owners in the heart of downtown San Antonio. Now available, guests can start bringing canine companions to Jots to enjoy the menu.
About the Pet Menu
The menu, dubbed “Benson & Friends Favorites,” features thoughtfully prepared dishes made with wholesome and recognizable ingredients. Each item is crafted to be both nourishing and indulgent, reinforcing the hotel’s commitment to inclusivity and elevated experiences for every guest—canine companions included.
“Pet-friendly travel has evolved, and today’s guests are looking for experiences that truly welcome their dogs, not just accommodate them,” said Gunter Hotel Owner and Managing Director at Axle Capital Jiwon Choi. “With this new menu from Jots, we’re extending our culinary philosophy to our four-legged guests, offering a dining experience that feels just as intentional and special.”
On the Pet Menu
The menu features a selection of dishes designed with canine wellness in mind, including hearty options like Honey’s Hill Country Breakfast, a savory blend of short rib, chuck and brisket served with farm-fresh eggs, and Nori’s Seattle Treat, featuring salmon paired with rice and green beans. Dogs can also enjoy Benson’s Chicken Delight made with locally sourced chicken, a fresh vegetable-forward Canine Crudité with apples, carrots, and green beans, and a light seasonal dessert of house-whipped cream and berries—ensuring every four-legged guest can enjoy a well-rounded dining experience from breakfast through dessert.
Located just steps from the River Walk, The Gunter Hotel has long welcomed pets as part of its community. The introduction of the Dog Menu further enhances the hotel’s reputation as a destination where history, hospitality, and modern lifestyle converge.
