West Paces Decides Not To Build In San Antonio

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels

Solis isn't going to San Antonio after all. The San Antonio Express-News reports that the Atlanta-based West Paces Hotel Group won't be building a luxury hotel in San Antonio as was planned. Last year, we covered the announcement that Solis was launching with six hotels in Chicago, San Antonio, the Phoenix suburb of Paradise Valley, the Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta, Frankfurt, Germany and Orlando, Florida. The hotel in San Antonio was to be a Spanish colonial-style hotel that would have cost $35 to $40 million.  No reasons have been given for the hotel chain's decision but another Solis hotel, the Sunny Isles Beach hotel near Fort Lauderdale, Florida has been added to the list of the original six. In the article, Marco Barros, San Antonio Area Tourism Council executive director, is quoted as saying that the loss of the hotel isn't a big concern because so many other projects are coming to the San Antonio area.
