    First Class Service, Beautiful Hotel
    So much history, the service will blow you away. Everyone is on point! The grounds at the at the Pearl was so much fun, the food court was delicious and my wife just loved all the the little shops. Different restaurants all around you. So much fun!

    Hotel's Favorite
    Weekend at the Emma
    We live in San Antonio and stay several times per year at the Emma. It is located near the Pearl and Riverwalk. The hotel is unique and very charming. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Worth the trip!

    Valentine’s Day Getaway
    Hotel Emma was the PERFECT spot for our weekend getaway. We wanted to be near all aspects of the city which accomplished, but ended up barely wanting to leave the hotel. The staff was kind, helpful and timely. 10/10 will be back again.

    Emma is as Great as Ever
    This is a superb hotel. They way you are treated sets it apart. The rooms are quiet and unique. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting. You re treated to a welcoming drink (from 3 pm on) and there are no bad rooms in the place.

    Is the couch in the suite room a pull out version? Or would I need a rollaway for a teenager if we booked a suite room category?
    My room did not have a couch. Lynn

    Continental breakfast
    There's a delightful array of complimentary breakfast goodies served in the library, but nothing like a continental buffet. I believe there were pastries and a great yogurt berry parfait. They have freshly poured coffee on request. There's a few choices for breakfast around though, and a great bakery across the way, Lorraine, and a super coffee shop at the hotel with every kind of coffee store selections and baked goods.

    Anybody knows if hotel emma is pet friendly and if it is how much they charge for a small pet?tia
    Dogs up to 50lbs can stay in Brewhouse room types, for a fee of $150 for the whole stay. Guests will need to sign a pet waiver on check-in.

    I understand the hotel is on the "new" extension of the Riverwalk. But can you get to Mi Tierra, for example, from there via the Riverwalk? Thanks
    I loved the walk from Hotel Emma to the Alamo, along the Riverwalk. It is less crowded, but, safe, with great landscaping, and other nice landmarks. Mi Tierra is a little longer, but, if you have the time, I highly recommend!

    Does this hotel have connecting rooms? I have 4 children and need connecting rooms.
    I do not recall. If you call guest services they will help.

    "The Landmark section has a wonderfully cool reclaimed architecture style to it"
    "All the rooms have a nice view and the beds and linens will make you sleep peacefully and the slippers, robe and towels are the softest."
    "i would probably not want a room on the third floor as that is where the gym and pool access are."
    "We stayed in the standard room and it was very comfortable"
    "Rooms off the Penthouse elevator would be our recommendation."
