Hotel Emma invites Texans to celebrate New Year’s Eve with a lavish $2,500-per-person gourmet dinner, featuring rare vintages and a celebratory concert.
SAN ANTONIO — Hotel Emma is offering Texans an “ultra-limited” New Year’s Eve experience in the heart of downtown San Antonio.
The luxurious event takes place inside the “Emma Kohler” presidential suite at $2,500-per-person, including a five-course dinner paired with some of the rarest pours the Pearl hotel has ever opened.
The Michelin Two-Key property is closing out its 10th anniversary year with a menu led by James Beard Award–winning Executive Chef Geronimo Lopez and the Supper culinary team. Courses are matched with collector-level vintages, including the night’s headliner: Eagle Rare 25, a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey bottle that typically retails for about $10,000.
The evening begins at 7 p.m. and ends on a sweet note with an Espresso-Orange Paris-Brest. Guests will also receive wristbands to Sternewirth’s New Year’s Eve celebration, featuring live music from Diego Martinez & Band and a toast to the hotel’s milestone year.
