Hotel Emma

King William District - the local hangout for hipsters - is flooded with trendy craft breweries, innovative restaurants and a whole host of chic boutiques. The city's hotel scene reflects the old and the new, with both historic properties and some uber contemporary design. Our experts have compiled a collection of cool hotels in San Antonio chosen on their story, individual service, and design credentials.

For post-industrial chic

Guestroom

  • Hotel Emma is chic without being loud about it. A converted brewery featuring exposed brickwork, antiques, plush sink-into beds, and heavy floral drapes. The stylish post-industrial-chic design is what gets this property a spot on our 'cool list'.

For a flavour of 1950s Cuba

Restaurant

  • Hotel Havana occupies an enviable spot overlooking the iconic River Walk of San Antonio. Cuban-inspired interiors juxtapose dark wooden antiques with the chic pastel hues. The elegant restaurant (complete with glittering chandelier) is a real gem, while the bar is renowned across town!
