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.

This was a great way to spend our anniversary. The hotel staff is on a whole other level. They are amazing and I cannot stress that enough. The rooms are spacious and and modern with a nice cozy feel. The bathroom has nice large tubs waiting to soothe you before you head over to the cozy beds.

This was a great way to spend our anniversary. The hotel staff is on a whole other level. They are amazing and I cannot stress that enough. The rooms are spacious and and modern with a nice cozy feel. The bathroom has nice large tubs waiting to soothe you before you head over to the cozy beds. It’s so hard to find a bed that is so comfy when away from home but theirs is amazing. The history of the hotel is also interesting as well as the bonus of being haunted. I mean bang for buck it’s for sure a winner. You are also just walking distance from the river walk so there’s no lack of things to do. I cannot wait to come back! Read less

My wife and I have stayed at this property twice, and the Emily Morgan was top notch in every way both times. Service excellence, cleanliness, character, history, distinctiveness, and location leave us with no hesitation to enthusiastically recommend.

The Emily Morgan hotel was a great experience on our first visit to San Antonio. The hotel has an old world charm and ambiance yet the rooms are modern and very nice. If you’re visiting the Alamo and Riverwalk you are right on top of both. The neighborhood is very safe and fun to walk around. The staff was exceptional, we had 2 small problems… Read more
The Emily Morgan hotel was a great experience on our first visit to San Antonio. The hotel has an old world charm and ambiance yet the rooms are modern and very nice. If you’re visiting the Alamo and Riverwalk you are right on top of both. The neighborhood is very safe and fun to walk around. The staff was exceptional, we had 2 small problems with electrical outlets and immediately the staff was up to fix them . Food in the restaurant was delicious and well prepared. Read less
