The iconic Emily Morgan Hotel - a DoubleTree by Hilton in San Antonio, TX presents the perfect blend of historical Texan charm and contemporary urban sophistication!
Dating back to the 1920s, The Emily Morgan Hotel features timeless architecture and intricate Gothic-style embellishments that tell an interesting story of the building's famous history. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Alamo Plaza, The Emily Morgan Hotel is housed in what was formerly the Medical Arts Building. The building's distinctive form and ornamentation are influenced by the Gothic revival that was the fashion for skyscrapers nationwide in the 1920s. In 1976, the Medical Arts Building was converted into a modern office building. In 1984, the building was adapted for use as a hotel and The Emily Morgan Hotel was founded.
You can tell the hotel was updated, everything is fresh and clean, but it has managed to keep some of it's historic features and Texas flare, both of which make it unique. Ask for a "haunted floor" if you dare!
