- JOSE (8/5): A must-stay in San Antonio if you love great food, quaint hotels and design. - Great location. Stunning design and ambience. Incredible attention to every detail by the interior designers. One of the most beautiful hotels I have stayed in the US. And the service is great. All staff was welcoming, proactive and kind. Kids everywhere: in the Library, at the Bar (even in the evening). No adult-exclusive areas to enjoy if you are trying to read, disconnect or enjoy a cocktail.

- Jessica (10/5): -
- Alexandra (9/5): Great hotel experience - Really liked the hotel, its style, the location, and overall service from all staff members. Eat at Supper a few times during our stay and everytime it was such a big deal to find us a table - telling us they were full for many hours and when we got in, half of the restaurant was empty and the tables were not used during our whole stay in the restaurant.
while we enjoyed the decoration in the room, it was a bit too dark.

- Karla (9/5): - Lovely workers
Beautiful facility Was loud at night
- Annabelle (10/5): Un séjour absolument superbe à l’Hôtel Emma - Un séjour absolument superbe à l’Hôtel Emma ! L’endroit est exceptionnel, tant par sa situation au cœur de San Antonio que par son histoire : une ancienne brasserie magnifiquement réhabilitée en hôtel 5 étoiles. La conception du lieu est remarquable, mêlant authenticité industrielle et élégance contemporaine.
Notre chambre était très agréable, le personnel attentionné et professionnel. Mention spéciale pour l’ambiance du bar le soir – chaleureuse et vivante, on s’y sent tout de suite bien.
Seul petit bémol : un peu d’attente au petit-déjeuner, mais rien qui ne gâche l’expérience. Et surtout, un grand merci à l’équipe pour la délicate attention à l’occasion de notre anniversaire de mariage : la jolie boîte de chocolats nous a beaucoup touchés.
Une adresse coup de cœur que nous recommandons sans hésiter ! 💛
- George (10/5): -
- Cooper (10/5): Wonderful - Literally everything
- John (10/5): -
- Deborah (10/5): Amazing luxury hotel! - This hotel is superb! Every person we encountered - from the valet, to the bellman, to the bartender, to the room service - was super friendly and helpful. Every aspect of this hotel is next level. The service is amazing, the hotel is nicely renovated, preserving its heritage, the surrounding area is lively, and there are a ton of restaurants and bars nearby. We will definitely be coming back here!
- Roger (9/5): -
- Richard (10/5): - Staff greeted you No coffee available before 7am, the intended thing I'd change
- Dan (5/5): Anyone who stays at this hotel exemplifies the phrase that a fool and his money are soon parted. - I’ve stayed in wonderful hotels all over the world. The Emma was the biggest disappointment I’ve ever experienced.There is nothing special about this hotel other than Molly or waitress in the bar who was amazing ! How about providing a pleasant hotel environment for 1/3 the price. I experienced nothing that justified the cost of the hotel. I’m get it’s old with slow everything.Have the owner’s ever left San Antonio and seen first rate hotels?
I felt ripped off by the whole experience. This hotel is hopefully not long for the world at these prices. My wife had 5 bites which resemble bed bug bites so we got out of there.
- Kathleen (10/5): -
- Kirk (10/5): It is an absolute pleasure to stay at Hotel Emma! - I love the Hotel Emma! While so many hotels are no longer providing room service, the Hotel Emma is superior at offering outstanding food choices all day and night. The service is outstanding. The staff is always polite, prompt and super helpful. I can't think of anything I don't like.
- Diego (10/5): -
- Angela (10/5): Relaxing, special and luxurious. - I was incredibly impressed with the hotel staff. Everyone, from the valet to the front desk to the turn-down service, was fantastic. I especially loved that the concierge was so attentive but never felt intrusive. The ability to simply text them for questions or requests was a truly thoughtful touch. Nothing. Everything was amazing.
- Angela (10/5): - The service is absolutely exceptional. The rooms are beautiful and well appointed, and no detail is missed. Every employee we came in contact with was professional, friendly, and vested in making our stay special. We are already planning a trip back.
- Larisa (10/5): -
- Jesus (10/5): -
- Rodriguez (10/5): Emma hotel is perfect for a staycation! - The whole atmosphere of the hotel exceeded my expectations! I would recommend a room with a balcony as it comes with a fireplace. We are planning on returning when the weather is cooler to take advantage of that.
- Julie (9/5): Superb -
- Robyn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gregory (10/5): We had a great time. Memorable experience. - Luxurious! Lots of activities. Great restaurants and bars. Nothing.

- Timothy (10/5): Amazing high service beautiful hotel with great amenities and services - Hotel was beautiful, service was excellent, restaurants and bar were great, great artisanal feel and design. Option of texting for service instead of calling was also great. The scents in the hotel was sophisticated and not cloying with happens in lots of other hotels. Gift shop had tip option added to payment process which was a little odd.

- Meaghan (10/5): Right in the heart of the Pearl district, close to everything and 5 star. - Emma is right in the heart of the Pear district and exudes history, comfort and class. It was an absolute pleasure to stay at this hotel. The staff were exceptional - food and drinks delicious and the bed was to die for. We will definitely be back to this hotel.
- Jennifer (10/5): Incredible City, wedding (on property) over the top wonderful!! Stay at the Emma -unbelievable! - We dined at the Emma Supper Restaurant and the service was wonderful but the food was INCREDIBLE! Party of four enjoyed 2 appetizers that were off the charts good and each one of us were completely overjoyed with dinner! Great menu! Some unusual offerings, we were so happy we tried the restaurant at the Emma! You won’t be disappointed!

- Joao (10/5): Exceptional -
- Todd (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and amenities.
The concierge Megan was extremely helpful.
- Doug (10/5): Exceptional - great
- Cobaltrage (7/5): The stay was not worth the cost, worse that they damaged my car. We will not be staying there again. - The service was impeccable. The room decor was underwhelming. The valet service damaged all four wheels on my new car, then denied it. I spoke to a manager about but she had already made up her mind before even taking a look at the car. Her tone was condescending and disrespectful as she told me that her people couldn't have done it. I asked if there was security cameras on all parking areas and she admitted that there was not. She said she would "investigate" the situation. Two hours later she calls saying she was done with the investigation and that it wasn't caused by any staff member of the Emma. If you stay there, you might want to make other parking arrangements.
- Lilette (5/5): I won’t recommend this hotel - Too expensive this is not 5 star . I paid almost 1,000 for a night. I won’t recommend this hotel Service needs more training
- Candice (9/5): Superb - Loved the cocktails in the library and sitting by the pool relaxing at sunset. The restaurant experience was absolutely awful - we sat on the patio for lunch and after ordering, we were ignored for the entire meal. No drink refills were offered, we asked for extra items that were never brought out and it took ages to track down a server to even get our bill. We also did not have silverware nor napkins at the table even once the food was brought out - we waited several minutes as the food was getting cold until they could locate them for us. Very disappointing for that price point - won’t eat in the hotel restaurant again.
- Byron (10/5): Exceptional -
- Louis (9/5): The hotel experience as a who was very pleasurable - Wonderful staff rooms and bar area outstanding. Outside area with fireplace was nice Gym. Only one elliptical when they could fit at least two. With a 5 star hotel one would think they put some extra consideration when constructing workout facility. Anyone who works out could address this facility pretty easily
- Ksenia (10/5): Definetely the best hotel in US. This hotel is the reason itself to visit San Antonio - Everything. Guys, you are the best!
- Ksenia (10/5): Endless Love - Ambience, design, vibe, absolutely everything. Every minute here is a pleasure and joy.
