The Emily Morgan Hotel by

The Emily Morgan Hotel is located at 705 E. Houston Street in San Antonio, Texas.
The Emily Morgan Hotel was once the Medical Arts Building which was constructed in 1924. It is one of the most recognizable buildings in San Antonio. The tower is 13 stories tall and made of reinforced concrete and glazed terra cotta.
The hotel is reported to be haunted, with the most activity on the 7th and 12th floors, where operations took place when the building was a medical center. Reports of noises, smells of alcohol, and being touched are common as well as shapes walking through walls. The basement had been used as a morgue and crematory. Voices, footsteps, and orbs are often seen in this area.
The front desk has reported receiving calls that could be traced to the phones in an empty elevator. The elevator has been known to keep going between the sixth and seventh floors with no one in it.
In 1984, the building was transformed into a AAA Four Diamond boutique hotel.
This photo has not been altered in any way. This was the actual sky over the Emily Morgan on this day!

    My best friend lives in San Antonio. I love the area. Where did you take this from? Location is perfect. Much better than my shot.

  • It is an amazing area for photography and fun no doubt!! I took this in front of the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, horror ride. Just across the street from the Alamo!! I had photographed it from every angle possible and was waiting on my sister-in-law to get her hand waxed, when I turned and noticed this shot!! I got lucky:)
