MERRILLVILLE, Ind.,
Aug. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- A
new property adjacent to the iconic University
of Texas campus will feature both the Autograph
Collection and AC Hotels by Marriott brands, White Lodging
announced today. The hotel investment, development and management
company also released further details on a 615-room Marriott in
downtown Austin, adjacent to the
Austin Convention Center.
"These projects demonstrate our continued belief in Austin's near and long term future," said
Deno Yiankes, President and CEO
Investments and Development at White Lodging. "We are thrilled in
that these two projects will create thousands of construction jobs
and more than 500 full time jobs upon opening."
The unique 350 room, 11-story AC Hotels and Autograph
Collection dual-branded complex will house both properties, and
while efficiencies will be shared in the back of the house, such as
in housekeeping, each hotel will have its own unique lobby,
restaurant, bar and an oversized exercise facility. The upscale
Autograph will feature over 6,000 square feet of event and
entertainment space, a street-level restaurant and bar, a walk-up
Burger Bar and a rooftop bar and pool deck offering panoramic views
of the University, State Capitol and downtown Austin skyline.
The development, will be the first in Austin to feature the lifestyle hotel brands
together and is scheduled to begin construction in mid 2017 and
open in the first quarter of 2019.
Recently introduced to the U.S., the 156-room Austin AC Hotels
property will be the lifestyle brand's first to open in
Austin. The brand originated in
Europe in 2011 as a joint venture
with Spanish hotelier, Antonio
Catalan and currently offers a portfolio of hotels in
Spain, Italy, Portugal, France, Brazil and Mexico. Inspired by the
runways and fashion houses of Milan, the brand features simple, clean and
crisp lines, marrying sophisticated European style with modern
design.
The 191-room Autograph Collection hotel will join an evolving
ensemble of strikingly independent hotels. Exactly like nothing
else, each destination has been selected for its quality, bold
originality, rich character and uncommon details. From near to far,
iconic to historic, the result is an array of properties that is
nothing less than unique, nothing short of collectively
exceptional.
At the Northwest corner of Cesar
Chavez and Trinity Street,
the company will build a striking 30-story full service Marriott
Hotel property. The hotel will have 65,000 square feet of meeting,
exhibit and entertainment space and a self-contained underground
parking garage. Guests and locals will be able to visit an
expansive outdoor pool, bar and entertainment zone on the hotel's
7th floor as well as two additional bars and a full
service restaurant on street level.
The hotel is scheduled to begin construction in May and open in
the summer of 2019.
