San Antonio: office and retail best ‘Choice’ for 180-room Cambria hotel

SAN ANTONIO – Another boutique hotel is slated for the
downtown San Antonio site at the corner of East Commerce and North Main, but
local REM Hospitality is giving it a twist by incorporating office space and
retail into the mix.

The hotel development and property management company have
closed on a 0.4-acre site north of the Cathedral of San Fernando and a block
southwest to the future Frost tower.

REM is moving quickly with plans for a new Choice Hotels
International boutique hotel that will include roughly 30,000 sf of office
and 8,000 sf of retail space.

REM purchased the site from Choice Hotels, which bought it
about a year and a half ago with plans to move forward with a hotel
development.

With an estimated 180 rooms, the Cambria-branded hotel is expected
to break ground July 1.

Following an 18-month construction period, REM is
anticipating a delivery sometime in fourth quarter 2017.

The only other Cambria hotel in Texas is located
in Plano.
