Summary

The city of San Antonio is beautiful and its River Walk is famous. The historic Gunter Hotel sits along that River Walk. That spot has hosted a hotel for nearly 190 years. The Gunter itself was built in 1909 and stands 11 stories. The hotel provides high end accommodations and amenities, one of which is an old time barber shop. There is more than meets the eye at the Gunter Hotel though. The history here includes a horrific murder mystery and this has led many to believe that the hotel is haunted. The Emily Morgan Hotel sits right next to The Alamo and started off as a state-of-the-art medical facility. Today, it is a hotel that offers luxurious accommodations and there are reportedly ghosts in this building. Some believe that the hotel is far more haunted than even the Alamo. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Gunter and Emily Morgan Hotels.
