  • Proposed Auto Alley hotel gets new look

    Kriya Hotels of Grapevine, Texas has revised their plans for a 7-story hotel at 18 NW 6th Street in Automobile Alley.



    The company had previously applied to the Downtown Design Review Committee but has supplemented their submission with a new look and layout.

    The 111-room TownePlace Suites by Marriott would feature 4 floors of rooms atop a 3-level parking structure.

    Other than parking, the ground level would include a 'jump lobby' where guests would unload luggage before proceeding to check-in on the 4th level.

    Also on the 4th floor would be the main lobby, a bar connected to an outdoor patio with a glass folding wall system., meeting rooms, a fitness center, and guest rooms.

    Floors 5, 6 and 6 would be for guest rooms and suites.

    TownePlace is positioned as an extended stay hotel, with all rooms having kitchenettes and larger than average rooms.

    The project is directly next to what will be the new 7-story headquarters for Heartland Payment Systems, which is well under construction.

    Downtown Design Review will consider the design at their June 20th meeting.
