Discover Historic Elegance at Hotel Emma

"We stayed at this magnificent historic hotel for our 20th wedding anniversary and the whole experience was top tier! The room was beautiful and inviting, the service impeccable. We loved the amenities, from the turn down service, to the special cocktails in the library and the full room service. The concierge service went above and beyond, not only making recommendations, but deftly navigating reservations and even wait listed items. We also greatly enjoyed being in walking distance of so many great restaurants and shopping in the heart of the Pearl. If you get the chance to stay here, it's a must!"

"Interesting hotel located in what used to be the Pearl brewery. The hotel kept the brewery motif and the vats have been converted into accessible dining / booths for sharing intimate cocktails. Elegant. And adjoining the hotel is a pedestrian park next to the river with plenty of additional cafes, restaurants and little stores. Everything is well manicured and presented. Service is somewhat challenging as there are so many people, but the atmosphere makes up for the service. The library var was probably the most enjoyable part of the hotel - so highly recommend that or the roof top."

"This hotel is impeccable, impressive, and in my opinion a great homage to San Antonio and its industrial history and roots. This is a must visit, have a cocktail and if yiu aren't staying at the hotel be sure to peruse the grounds, and interior. A gorgeous historical revamp. *I've never seen/been in the rooms btw)"

"I took my wife here for her birthday weekend. We stayed two nights, checking out around 11am on Sunday. Rooms: Perfect. We got the Terrace River Cellar room with a king bed. The room was immaculate and had just about everything you’d want in a room. There was no coffee machine, but you can have a pot of complimentary coffee delivered in the morning. The balcony was large and lovely; with a fireplace we got to use the last morning we were there on this unseasonably warm January weekend. The room is full of informational brochures/flyers about the local Pearl area, so if you’ve never been, you’ll want to look at these. Concierge: Exceptional. They answered all my questions and even some I didn’t ask; plus, they responded to emails in a timely manner. They gave me options to set up the room for birthday surprise. I ordered roses, a fruit tray with Topo Chico, a birthday banner, balloons, and chocolate, etc. I also had turn down service, which was a great touch. It was so nice to come back to the room in the evening, after dinners and drinks on Friday and Saturday nights. If you stay, and aren’t sure what you want to do, eat, drink, etc., just ask the concierge team. Staff: Exceptional. Every single employee (front desk, housekeeping, room service, valet, etc.) we encountered at the hotel was the epitome of a welcoming, friendly professional. I can’t say enough about that! I highly recommend the hotel tour, which they do twice a day. The bar gets crowded on weekend evenings, but they have little hideaways in the bar reserved for guests to get out of the throngs while remaining in the bar, which is a nice touch. We live in town and go to the Pearl fairly often, but this was our first stay at the hotel; it was a wonderful, fun, memorable weekend. There was nothing that wasn’t absolutely on point and perfect. We’ll be back."

"Wow! Incredible time here at this hotel. I was only here one night but it was one of the best ever. Service was absolutely top notch from every single person. Literally everyone. Location is incredible, so many restaurants to choose from it was hard to decide where to go. Only 10min to the airport. Rooms were very nice. Only one very minor complaint is the hotel is old so you can hear noises while sleeping. The hotel provided ear plugs but I use a sound machine and had no issues. The bar downstairs in the lobby is unbelievably cool. Downside is its nearly impossible to find somewhere to sit on the weekends at this bar. Ive stayed at elite hotels all over the world. No hotel comes to mind that does it better than Hotel Emma."
