The Emily Morgan Hotel is located in the historic Medical Arts Building across from the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas.  The thirteen story neo-gothic building was originally constructed in 1927 as a medical office and clinic facility.  An earlier renovation had converted the building to hotel usage

In this renovation, it was the owner’s desire to reposition the property to a more upscale level catering to both business and tourist guests. The project consisted of a total interior renovation of all guestrooms and public areas including one hundred fifty four (154) Guestrooms, twenty-two (22) Suites and one (1) Sam Houston Suite (Presidential Suite) along with the lobby, meeting rooms, and restaurant.  New exterior lighting concepts were also added to accentuate the gothic detailing of the tower and give the building a night time presence on the San Antonio skyline. The guestroom concepts are intended to give the guest a grand hotel experience with a soft contemporary theme. Tone on tone colors, oversized bedding and elegant dark wood case goods work together to achieve this experience. The lobby and public areas were redesigned to give a grand but comfortable atmosphere.  To achieve this, local limestone coupled with dark wood millwork was employed for a comfortable compromise between casual comfort and grand elegance.  The restaurant was completely re-concepted into a new sophisticated urban environment to accommodate  casual hotel dining and serve as a fine dining destination restaurant in the evenings
