If being a fancy VIP is more your thing they also have a rooftop pool where you can kick back and relax with gorgeous river and city views.

Surprised with a Birthday stay by my wonderful bosses. Check in was easy and the staff was so nice and helpful. Never been to the pearl district and just wow. It's just been an amazing stay.

My wife and I just stayed at Hotel Emma for 6 days on our honeymoon and if I could give it 6 stars or more, I would. The hotel is incredible and the service is even better. Big shoutout to Andres our valet, Paul our morning server at Supper, and Jason our evening server at Supper. We plan to come back every year for our anniveraries to relive this experience and also to come other times and birng other member's of out family. The Pearl is an amazing area, the Hotel Emma is the best hotel ive ever stayed at, the people are so incredibly nice and the food at every restaurant we went to was incredible. Thank you for the amazing experience!

One of the nicest, if not THE NICEST experiences I’ve had at a hotel, and I’ve traveled to many places around the world. The customer service is truly 5 diamonds. The special note on the bed, the sleep pack with the eye mask, ear plugs, and lavender spray, the macaroons on the table, the free snacks in the snack bar/fridge area. The toiletries left my hair and skin smelling fresh and feeling soft. The bed was comfortable and the view from the 5th floor was amazing. The customer truly is top notch. I simply texted a phone number anything I needed, and someone always replied promptly. “Where are there fun places to go after the show?” And within minutes they gave me a list of places. “How about something more like a club and dancing rather than a bar” and again another listing places. I had already checked out and they recommended me a place to go eat at, and they still drove me there on the house car. Every single staff member was polite and courteous. The only door I ever had to open was the door to my room when I was the only one there. Even the water pressure from the shower head was equivalent to a fire hydrant, it was that strong and it was great. Not those mealy droplets that barely get you wet. Out of all this, the one thing that I would say that was substandard (because the hotel really sets high standards in all areas) were the towels. The towels definitely were not on the same level as the rest of the hotel. I had softer, fluffier towels from Target or Costco. It’s not that big of a deal as they still were clean and got me dry. I was just really surprised that as nice as this hotel was, I’ve used better towels at hotels rated lower than Hotel Emma. The customer service and the rest of the experience was enough that the towels weren’t an issue.

This place was absolutely stunning, From the architecture to the staff/service. I have stayed here twice, and both times were nothing but perfect. Room service was always on time and had items we had forgotten at home that we didn’t think they would have! Definitely worth the price and will definitely return.

This hotel is a historic hotel that was a 19th century brew house. It’s on the Pearl district and it’s a super nice hotel. My hubby and I came here after my brother in law suggested we stop by so we just hung out at the bar. We will definitely be back to stay here. It’s right next to a river and it is super cozy! The bartender made a really good old fashioned and I just loved the ambiance. The service was great too. I didn’t get the best pictures but it’s definitely worth a visit.

If you are thinking about staying here for a special occasion but are not sure if it’s worth it due to your budget… JUST DO IT. First of all, the staff are so incredible. They really make the stay enjoyable from the moment you step out of your car to the moment you get back in it. They seem as if they genuinely love their job and are wanting you to have a happy day too which truly makes all the difference. What is amazing about this hotel, (besides the jaw dropping food - p.s. their homemade BBQ chips are INSANITY), are all the little touches they do to make it personal and pampering. Our beautiful room was filled with handwritten notes, gourmet snacks, and celebration goodies for our special occasion (make sure to write your reason for celebrating in the request box so they know!) We wish we spent more than an hour at the pool because it was luxurious and serene but we slept in because our pillows/bed were SO COMFY. We did hang out in the library for a long time and enjoyed our complimentary drinks. And I embarrassingly cried to the bellhop guy at checkout because I had such a good time. There’s a reason this place is a five star hotel and one of the best in America. It is truly special and the atmosphere is joyful and welcoming to everyone.
