Emily Morgan Hotel legends

The Emily Morgan Hotel (originally the Medical Arts Building, completed in 1924) overlooking the Alamo is frequently included in San Antonio ghost lore, with guests and employees reporting sightings, cold spots, and other unexplained phenomena. The building’s association with a spectral ‘Emily’ and alleged hospital-era spirits is part of local storytelling and has been featured on guided ghost tours and television segments. The origin and details of the Emily legend are varied and historically debated.
