San Antonio Hotels: Spooky Stays Await!
27 Oct
Summary
- Two San Antonio hotels named among most haunted.
- Emily Morgan has spectral nurses on 14th floor.
- Gunter Hotel's Room 636 linked to notorious murder.
Two iconic hotels in San Antonio, Texas, have been recognized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Historic Hotels of America program as among the 25 most haunted hotels in the U.S. The Emily Morgan, a 102-year-old building with a history as a medical facility, is frequently cited for paranormal activity.
Guests at the Emily Morgan have reported unsettling occurrences, particularly on the fourteenth floor, including hospital-like smells and spectral visions. On the twelfth floor, disembodied sounds and apparitions of nurses have been observed, adding to its reputation as a paranormal hotspot.
The Gunter Hotel, built in 1909, is also on the list, notably for events in Room 636. This room was the site of a famous unsolved murder in 1965. Since then, guests and staff have reported cold spots, whispers, flickering lights, and the scent of cigar smoke.
Despite their spectral residents, both hotels have largely embraced their haunted reputations. The Emily Morgan proudly shares its mysterious occurrences online, while the Gunter, though downplaying past grisly details, acknowledges its history. The Gunter also recently received an award for best city center historic hotel.
