Emily Morgan Hotel Dressing Up with $4-Mil Facelift

SAN ANTONIO-The Emily Morgan Hotel in the city's CBD is getting the works in a $4-million dress up of its 177 rooms. The project, which wraps up in January 2002, will boost room rates from a range of $79 to $150 to $149 to $289.

SAN ANTONIO-Emily Morgan is getting a facelift–and more. The Downtown San Antonio hotel, next to the Alamo and Riverwalk, is beginning a $4-million renovation that will take it upscale and turn it and its 177 rooms into a boutique hotel. Boutique hotels usually are smaller and more stylish than larger hotels and they focus on customer service.

The project is to be completed in January 2002 with a grand re-opening in the spring. The hotel, owned by Alamo Hotels Inc. and managed by Westmont Hospitality, will continue to carry the Ramada Inn flag.

The Morgan’s rooms, including 24 suites, will get new decor, carpet, drapes and fixtures. Mitchell Carlson Stone Inc., a Houston-based architectural and interior design firm, is handling the design work. New amenities include in-room, high-speed Internet access, Jacuzzi bathtubs and cordless telephones. That’s the first phase and it begins this week. The second phase starts in October and will bring renovations to meeting spaces and public areas.
