This is a wonderful place to stay

994alang (San Antonio, Texas) on May 03, 2024

This is a magnificent property. We stayed on the Gold Floor, which is spectacular and worth every additional dollar. The room was spacious and well appointed, the service phenomenal and the staff outstanding. The hotel offers a variety of venues for food and drink and all are excellent.

Amazing staff and beautiful building and grounds

DawnAmber (Kamloops, Canada) on Apr 30, 2024

The hotel and grounds are gorgeous and so conveniently located along the water. The staff is amazing, I’ve never had such good service. The gym is great. The pool is nice, the hot tub jets could be a little more powerful but it’s still relaxing. The hotel is dog friendly and they made us feel so welcome. It was a little disappointed that the patio at the restaurant wasn’t dog friendly, as we would have loved to been able to redeem our welcome drinks. The rooms were a little underwhelming considering the grandeur of the rest of the property but overall I would most definitely recommend and stay again. The Empress is iconic for a reason.
