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 was 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?
The spots that fill up first are the ones under 281, so if you visit us during peak times—weekends, lunch hour—we recommend you try some of these options:

Koehler Garage. The multilevel parking garage at Isleta and Emma Koehler usually has space and is conveniently located at the heart of Pearl.
River West Parking Lot. Located on E. Elmira between E. Myrtle and Shiller. Look for the Pearl lollipop signs. It’s a great place to park and a short distance from the heart of the property. Bonus: you can cross over the San Antonio River on our covered bridge.
Valet parking is also available at Hotel Emma.
