Hotel Emma has honestly been the best hotel stay I've had in some time. The hotel offers a true luxury experience but without the fuss and bother that can sometimes feel performative amongst luxury brands. You feel welcomed home to a place you've never been, but will never want to leave. The condition of the hotel is immaculate. The design of marrying the original structure and charm with modern amenities through a timeless and classic design is breathtaking. I love how the hotel's history is celebrated throughout, and would definitely recommend taking the historic tour of the hotel for context - it will take your appreciation of the hotel to a whole new level! The service is beyond anticipatory. Every team member I spoke to during my time on property seemed so genuinely happy and proud to work there. Special shoutout to Mercedes at Supper for being so fabulous and attentive while I balanced enjoying a delicious lunch while trying to catch up on work emails. Bravo, best of the best, will recommend to absolutely everyone and honestly have been since I left!! Hotel Emma is truly a cut above the rest and something that must be experienced to understand.

Emma is a cut above the rest. We try to go here every year for our Anniversary and, after Christmas, it's my favorite time of the year.
