Exciting Developments on the Horizon for Lexington, South Carolina!
Lexington is buzzing with exciting news as plans are laid for a brand-new hotel and a modern steakhouse that is set to open by 2026. This charming town, known for its vibrant Main Street, is stepping up its game in the hospitality and dining sectors, making it an even more attractive destination for residents and visitors alike.
A New Hotel on Main Street
Once the construction kicks off, which could happen within the next 60 to 90 days if all the necessary permits are secured, Lexington will welcome a stunning four-story hotel featuring over 100 rooms. This development comes just in time as local businesses call for more accommodations for events like weddings and family get-togethers. The hotel will also house an event venue, a restaurant, and maybe even a rooftop bar to enjoy those warm Southern evenings.
Development isn’t something new to this site, as it has remained untouched for the last 15 to 16 years. Therefore, the news of this investment, at a whopping $1.4 million, feels like a breath of fresh air for the community. Local council members have expressed the importance of being business-friendly, which makes this project even more significant in the eyes of the residents.
New Culinary Delights Coming to Town
But the excitement doesn’t stop there! A modern steakhouse is also on its way to Lexington. Set to replace the former Alodia’s Italian Restaurant at 101 W. Main St., the steakhouse is expected to open its doors in January 2025. This establishment is being led by a seasoned team of restaurateurs who have dreams of crafting an upscale yet approachable dining experience. Imagine enjoying hand-cut steaks and homemade pasta made with love! It’s going to enhance the culinary landscape of Lexington.
Currently, renovations are well underway, aiming to blend the historic charm of the building with a modern dining atmosphere that will appeal to both locals and visitors. The aim is to make the steakhouse a go-to stop for a delightful evening out.
More Eateries in the Mix!
The good news for food lovers doesn’t stop with the steakhouse. The “Voodoo Brewing Company” is also planning to unveil its very own location on the northwest corner of Main and Church streets. This brewery is sure to be an inviting spot for some local craft beer after a busy day.
And let’s not forget about TakoSushi! This innovative fusion restaurant is opening at 102 C W. Main Street on September 5, and they’re making quite the entrance by offering free queso for a whole year to the first 25 guests during its opening week. Talk about a delicious attraction!
Downtown Lexington: A Growing Hub
The developments continue to elevate downtown Lexington, which has experienced striking growth over the past few years. With over 162,700 visitors drawn to the area thanks to exciting events at the Icehouse Amphitheater, it’s no wonder local businesses are benefiting from an increase in patronage.
The amphitheater has truly become a centerpiece for community gatherings, festivals, and events, fostering a sense of community spirit while also invigorating the local economy.
As Lexington continues to grow, with new dining options and enhanced hospitality experiences on the way, it’s clear that this charming town is ready to embrace visitors and residents alike, making it a delightful place to explore, eat, and stay!
