The Property

What is
Pearl?

Pearl is a historical district and culture hub in the center of San
Antonio. People live, work, and gather here. The property functioned as a
brewery from the early 1880s until 1999, when Pearl beer moved its operations
elsewhere. Pearl is home to many spirited visionaries who each paint a unique
portrait of our past, present, and future. From culture to cuisine, we hope
you explore to your heart’s content.

Where should I
start my adventure?

Many people come to Pearl for something specific—their
morning coffee, a show at Jazz, TX, or to
pick up local produce at our Saturday Farmers
Market. The property is large (22+ acres) and is home to shops,
restaurants, businesses, and the third campus of the Culinary Institute of America. If you’re coming to simply “check
us out,” we recommend an open mind and a willingness to try something new.

Is there a
particular time of year that is best to visit?

Pearl is a year-round
destination. Springtime in San Antonio—before the grip of summer sets in—is
magical. And the holiday season is especially magical with our 30-foot tree in
Pearl Park and lights throughout property. But anytime is a good time to
visit.

Where is the
old historical brewery?

The old Pearl brewhouse is the current home of
Hotel Emma. It’s the tallest building on the site and its
distinct roofline is visible from the highway. Hotel Emma is open to the
public. Go have a look, you’ll be glad you did.

Where is the
River Walk?

The River Walk spans a 30 mile loop via walkways that go
through downtown, south through the missions, and north through the museum
reach and up to Pearl. From Pearl, the River is due west and adjacent to our
amphitheater and La Gloria. If you go due south you will head towards the
central River Walk area towards downtown. Combined, these areas form the
longest urban linear park in the United States.

Parking

Where should I
park?

• Check the garage! The multilevel parking at Isleta
  & Emma Koehler usually has space and is always free.
• Try the River West Parking Lot at Pearl located on E. Elmira
  between E. Myrtle & Shiller. Look for the Pearl lollipop signs! It’s a
  great place to park and a short, shaded walk across our covered pedestrian
  bridge takes you to the heart of Pearl.
• Valet Parking is available at Hotel Emma.

General Safety

• Firearms, knives, and other weapons are prohibited at Pearl.
• Pearl is a scooter free.
