Founded in 1883 as a brewery, the historic Pearl boasts a storied legacy that lives on through its
redevelopment as a shopping and dining destination that’s been pivotal in the revitalization of
midtown and the northern stretch of downtown San Antonio. Today, the Pearl is home to some
of the best restaurants the city has to offer, including Brasserie Mon Chou Chou, Southerleigh
Fine Food & Brewery and Cured, all of which regularly draw visitors from outside of the city. A
roster of amazing retailers including Adelante Boutique and Dos Carolinas are also a draw for
out-of-towners. Those lucky enough to spend an evening at the luxurious Hotel Emma find out
why it was recognized by the 2024 Michelin Guide as one of the world’s outstanding hospitality
properties.
