SAN ANTONIO — Construction is set to begin next week on a new 17-story curved hotel tower in Hemisfair Park.
The hotel project is being overseen by Zachry Hospitality. The development will also include ground-floor spaces with restaurants, shops, and museums as well as retail opportunities.
The hotel itself will include hundreds of residential units as well as 200 Hilton Curio Collection hotel rooms.
The hotel is being built during a multi-phase expansion and development of the Hemisfair area downtown that also includes the new Civic Park and its unique water features. The springs and fountains of the new park resemble the Acequia Madre, irrigation canals from when the land was used for farming.
Other upcoming improvements include an elevated area overlooking the Great Lawn, which served as a seating area for the popular Jazz'SAlive festival and a common area near the Torch of Friendship sculpture.
Zachry Hospitality will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the new hotel next week. Construction is expected to be completed in 2025.
