“There is a tremendous need for additional first class hotel rooms in The Woodlands with over 20 million people visiting The Woodlands Town Center each year,” said Paul Layne, executive vice president of master-planned communities for The Howard Hughes Corporation. “A hotel of this caliber will attract both business and leisure travelers into the heart of The Waterway Square District within walking distance of hundreds of businesses, shops and restaurants as well as major entertainment venues, such as The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion.”

The Development Company did not announce the hotel’s brand, but it said the hotel would be designed for business travelers and local residents seeking local vacation spots. Plans for the hotel also include a long-planned pedestrian bridge spanning the Waterway and the addition of a performance stage at Waterway Square.  click here for complete story
