SAN ANTONIO
Construction is underway on the Embassy Suites by Hilton San Antonio Brooks City Base, a community of more than 1,200 acres planned for mixed use development in San Antonio’s south side.
Community leaders including Mayor Ivy Taylor, Councilwoman Rebecca Viagran, U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, Judge Nelson Wolff and Commissioner Tommy Calvert joined John Rogers, global head of Embassy Suites by Hilton & SVP of product management, to break ground on the full-service hotel.
"The south side of San Antonio has gone too long without a full-service hotel of this caliber," said Brooks City Base President & CEO Leo Gomez. "The Embassy Suites by Hilton at Brooks City Base will be a gorgeous property, located near a future linear park that will lead to the San Antonio River. This will be a landmark project for Brooks that will be of tremendous value to the people of our community."
The full-service hotel will be located near the intersection of South New Braunfels Avenue and Southeast Military Drive. It will feature a restaurant and more than 8,000 square feet of conference and event space, which includes pre-function space, break out rooms and a ballroom, making it the only full-service hotel and conference or event center south of downtown San Antonio and north of Corpus Christi or McAllen.
It is scheduled to open in October 2016 and will offer the following amenities:
- 156 two-room suites.
- Restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, featuring a brick oven and rotisserie.
- Banquet seating for up to 500.
- 8,000-square-foot ballroom.
