SAN ANTONIO—Construction is officially underway to build the Embassy Suites by Hilton San Antonio Brooks City Base here. Scheduled to open in October 2016, the 156 two-room suite hotel is located near a future linear park that will lead to the San Antonio River.
Earlier this week, community leaders joined John Rogers, global head of Embassy Suites by Hilton & SVP of product management, for the official groundbreaking ceremony. This included Mayor Ivy Taylor, Councilwoman Rebecca Viagran, U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, Judge Nelson Wolff, Commissioner Tommy Calvert and leaders from Brooks City Base.
The hotel will feature a restaurant, a brick oven and rotisserie, and more than 8,000 sq. ft. of conference and event space, which includes pre-function space, break out rooms and a ballroom. According to the company, it will be the only full-service hotel and conference or event center south of Downtown San Antonio and north of Corpus Christi or McAllen.
The $35-million dollar project is a partnership between Brooks City Base and Boerne/San Antonio-based Phoenix Hospitality Group.
