Emily Morgan Hotel

Hotel Information:

Historic Gothic Revival meets urban contemporary at the Emily Morgan Hotel. Adjacent to the famous Alamo, this 14-story hotel is a modern oasis surrounded by Texas history. Polished stone floors and Texas limestone blends with traditional mahogany furnishings and custom fabrics. A transparent stone fireplace flanks a commanding central staircase.

Insider tip:

In February of 2000, workers in the Alamo discovered a series of frescoes painted on one of the walls in the 1700s. Historians believe that friars living in the former mission directed workers to paint in a style prominent in Mexico City during the 1500s. Guests can view the frescoes for free.
