San Antonio Emily Morgan Hotel

The iconic Emily Morgan Hotel, 705 E Houston St, San Antonio, TX, is an architectural masterpiece lighting up the San Antonio skyline and overlooking the historic battlegrounds of the Alamo!

Emily Morgan (or Emily West) is the girl considered the "Yellow Rose of Texas." According to legend, Sam Houston sent her into Santa Anna's camp to distract him so the Mexican Army could be defeated at San Jacinto, hence providing for Texas independence. It is widely held that Emily Morgan was the inspiration for the much-loved song, "The Yellow Rose of Texas," written shortly after the war.

Often considered one of the best Gothic revival buildings in the United States, the Emily Morgan Hotel was built in 1926 and was original known as the Medical Arts Building. It is 13 stories high, crowned with a fine tower, adorned with numerous gargoyles, and located next to the Alamo. The Official Hotel of the Alamo offers a bit of vintage charm mixed with modern decor and luxurious amenities.
