San Antonio, Texas: Hotel Emma; hotel review

Hotel Emma  

136 E. Grayson, (877) 801-6134, (210) 448 8300.  146 rooms.  Complimentary margarita at check-in; full breakfast included; 3 restaurants; 1 bar.  Full-service spa. 

Situated inside a building originally designed by famed architect August Maritzen in the 19th-century as the Pearl Brewery, Hotel Emma is named in honor of Emma Koehler, who ran the brewery after her husband died.  This creatively designed upscale property is riverfront and features restored old brewery implements that are blended attractively into the decor, including a front desk that makes use of the building’s original antique mailboxes.  Its clock-tower and storehouses have been transformed into atmospheric guest rooms, a library, a lounge, a craft beer pub, and fine dining spots.

  6. I've never been to San Antonio but the Hotel Emma looks very special. The lobby in particular caught my attention. I think it's so important for a hotel to have a grand or interesting entrance.
