Inside the Hotel Emma ~ Industrial meets Texas
When my husband asked where I wanted to stay to celebrate our anniversary, the hotel choice was easy. We just wanted a one night staycation in San Antonio so I immediately said, "Hotel Emma."
The jewel of the Pearl complex, the former brewery, originally built in 1894, has been transformed into a beautiful hotel. The hotel is named after Emma Koehler who took over the brewery after her husband, the former president and CEO of the brewery, died. She saved the brewery during prohibition by converting it into other businesses and by making near beer, ice cream and soda. Thanks to her leadership during this time, the Pearl was the only brewery in San Antonio to survive after Prohibition.
Enough history. Now some eye candy...
