Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Emma

There are no superlatives left to describe the wonder that is Hotel Emma, located in the original 1894 Pearl brewhouse and providing luxurious guest rooms and exemplary service. Guest rooms and suites have baths featuring handmade Spanish porcelain tiles, beds with luxury linens, and a stocked Ice Box (an homage to South Texas neighborhood icehouses) and in-room pantry with South Texas treats. Guests receive a complimentary La Babia margarita at check-in and complimentary Electra cruiser bikes to get around. Enjoy chef John Brand's marvelous creations for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or brunch at on-site restaurant Supper, then relax at the dramatic city bar Sternewirth Tavern & Club Room off the lobby.
