The Woodlands: 205-room Embassy Suites at Hughes Landing

THE WOODLANDS – The Howard Hughes Corp. has begun construction on a 205-room Embassy Suites Hotel at Hughes Landing. The 172,000-sf hotel is described as an upscale, all-suite, full-service hotel for both business and leisure travelers.

It will include 3,000 sf of meeting and event space, a full-service bar and restaurant, a fitness center and a 4,000-sf rooftop pool deck overlooking Lake Woodlands. It is slated for completion in late 2015.

“The rapid growth at Hughes Landing has created significant demand for a new hotel in the area to effectively serve the needs of our local business and leisure travelers," Paul Layne, executive vice president of master planned communities for The Howard Hughes Corp., said.

The hotel is located within Hughes Landing, a 66-acre mixed-use development, which will include several Class A office buildings, shopping, restaurants, Whole Foods’ first Woodlands location and a 390-unit upscale multifamily project called One Lake’s Edge.

Two 197,700-sf office buildings — One Hughes Landing and Two Hughes Landing — are already open. Three Hughes Landing, a 12-story, 321,000-sf office building recently broke ground and is expected to be complete the third quarter 2015.
