Emily Morgan Hotel (Medical Arts Building and folklore link)

The Emily Morgan Hotel occupies the former Medical Arts Building across from the Alamo and the structure was completed in the 1920s. The hotel's name references Emily West (often called the "Yellow Rose of Texas" in folklore), a connection that historians dispute and regard as part of Texas legend rather than established fact. The building is frequently featured on San Antonio ghost tours and in local media as a site of purported paranormal activity.
