Half way through 2016 we can look back on some exciting developments that have greatly enriched our neighborhood. We have welcomed Jazz, TX, and Botika to Pearl proper and have seen our larger neighborhood evolve with the additions of Down on Grayson and West Elm. We have celebrated over a year of our vibrant Sunday market and have seen our events such as Echale and our Dance Hall series become more popular as our San Antonio friends and visitors from other cities continue to respond. In November we celebrate a year at Hotel Emma and have been delighted to see the response from our home town and from far flung corners of the world. It doesn?t hurt to be named a Travel and Leisure and Conde Nast best new hotel in the world either.
