The Emily Morgan San Antonio - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel

San Antonio, Texas

Virgin rating

The hotel

Named for the mysterious woman who influenced the Battle of the Alamo, this 1920s structure is steeped in history. For almost 40 years, the Emily Morgan San Antonio has been delivering exceptional service to its guests, in a unique central location just steps from the Alamo Mission itself. Although the property is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, with its gothic-revival inspired tower standing proud, the amenities inside are all contemporary; comfortable beds and modern features can be found in all guest rooms, and the in-house restaurant, Oro, serves up Southwestern fare amongst sophisticated decor and dramatic views.

Wonderful service at this hotel. Especially Jay M / IsaiH in Valet, Phil at the front desk and Monica at the bar. All were super helpful and friendly. Including helping us with our luggage, getting our van quickly, giving out cookies, making local recommendations. My 15 passenger van was well taken care of in valet parking. Thank you everyone!

Loved the warm cookies and bottle of water when we checked in. Valet service was nice and convenient. Right across from the Alamo and short walk to the river walk and the Brisco Western Art Muesum. Beds were comfortable. Enjoyed the stay. Would stay there again.
